Lovely Virginia Russell, wife of
President Donald Russell, has
many hobbles but she is quick to
announce that her favorite one is
the University. Of her role at
the University, Mrs. Russell says,
"It's the happiest life that my
husband and I have ever had."
It was while they were attend
ing the University that the Rus
sells first met. Blessed with the
beautiful combination of auburn
hair and brown eyes the Presi
dent's wife was Carolina's May
Queen in 1927.
A native of St. George, Mrs.
Russell took a liberal arts course
while in school. After they were
married Mr. and Mrs. Russell
lived in "Union for two years. Next
they lived in Spartanburg before
coming to the University. The
Russells have three sons and one
daughter.
Likes Cooking, Gardening
Soft-spoken Mrs. Russell admits
that she simply loves to cook and
garden. Although her cook books
are varied, she says that her family
prefers southern dishes. When
asked which cook book she pre
ferred Mrs. Ruaeell said she would

Each year the seniors get a
chance to sample some of Mrs.
Russell's cooking when they are
invited to the senior dinners. This
custom was begun by the Russells
in their first year at the Univer
sity. The faculty reception and
the reception for new studebts are
also held annually in the Russell's
home.
Even these dinners and recep
tions do not satisfy hospitable
Mrs. Russell as she feels that she
and her husband would like to
meet the students' parents. "It
would mean a great deal to us to
have the students bring their
parents over for a visit," she said.
Mrs. Russell expressly stated that
she wanted all parents to make
themselves known to the Russells.
Colorful Garden
The garden which is still taking
shape promises to be a colorful
one. As well as azaleas and ca
mellias there are several large
wisteria vines which decorate the
back walls of the house. The gar
den is well lighted so that social
affairs may be held there.

household is so well-known to

says he believes that he is a Uni

go to bed until he sees that the
students have done so.
Optimistic USC Future
As her husband begins his
fourth year as President, Mrs.
Russell is very optimistic about
the future of the University. She
swells with pride over the enlarged
faculty and the numerous physical
improvements at the University.
"The University fills our lives
completely. There is nothing dull
here," she said.
Mrs. Russell is quite truthful
when she says that the University
fills their lives completely. The
Russells have not had a vacation
since coming to Carolina. And
Mrs. Russell added, "We do not
want one."
