In 1992, five members of the Tennille family established an endowment in the classics department honoring Margaret Rose Tennille (1917-2014).<\/p>\n

Margaret Rose was born in Hopewell, Virginia, in March 1917.\u00a0 When she was six years old, her family moved to Winston-Salem, where she later attended Salem College for two years. In 1939, she married Norton F. Tennille and together they raised three sons. In 1961, she began a long career in public service when she became the administrative assistant to the mayor of Winston-Salem, a post she held for more than a decade.<\/p>\n

In 1975, Margaret was elected to represent Forsyth County in the North Carolina General\u00a0Assembly. Margaret served five terms in the state\u2019s House of Representatives, rising to eleventh in seniority by the time she stepped down in 1984. Eight years later, her sons, Norton F. Tennille Jr. \u201962 and Ben F. Tennille \u201967, and her grandchildren, Margaret W. R. Tennille \u201992, Norton Tennille III and Alexander G. Tennille \u201995, created the Margaret Rose Tennille Fund in Classics in her honor.\u00a0 The endowment fund provides resources for faculty and students to pursue scholarship in the classics department.<\/p>\n

The Margaret Rose Tennille Fund for Classics provided funding to create an online catalog of the Ullman Library collection in the department of classics.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Since its creation 23 years ago, the Tennille Fund has supported the classics department in numerous ways, including providing the department\u2019s Ullman Library with its first online\u00a0catalog. This new catalog made the library\u2019s impressive 10,000-volume collection of classical literature in Greek and Latin widely accessible for the first time. The Tennille Fund also provides research support for faculty and graduate students in the department, such as procuring digitized copies of obscure manuscripts from archives around the world or purchasing books needed for literary research. Undergraduates also benefit from the Tennille Fund\u2019s classroom support, which has provided archaeology fieldwork classes with surveying supplies, drawing materials and computer software to help prepare field sketches for study.<\/p>\n
