The prize for correctly answering this month's challenge goes to Cyndie Basinger, secretary to the college president.

ANSWER:
Pictured above is Miss Nannie Lee Smith (Class of 1893). While Nannie Lee was a very modest lady, who probably would not wish to take credit for saving the college from being sold in 1903, she did play an integral role in ensuring that the college was saved. She became the spokeswoman for the alumnae association at that time and led the way in organizing the fight to save the college.
