Auxiliary Annual Meeting, May 8, 2008 Concurrent with Alumni Day, the officers of the Seminary Auxiliary will meet at 9:00AM in the Harbinson Room. Later that day, at 2:00PM, all auxiliary members are invited to attend the Annual Auxiliary Meeting in the Harbinson Room. Come for updates and fellowship with friends that are committed, like you, to constantly improving the theological education experience at Southern Seminary!
In 1934, in the midst of the Great Depression, a letter appeared in the July edition of the North Carolina Lutheran written by Pastor H. A. McCullough, outlining a critical financial situation that existed at Southern Seminary. McCullough's call awakened an impassioned response from Mary McClanahan Holland, widow of the Rev. Robert C. Holland, long time supporter of missions in the southern Lutheran church. It took another six years for a formal organization to be effected, but on May 20, 1940, "a large group of women, brought together by Mrs. E.C. Cooper, wife of the president of the Seminary at that time, met in the Seminary Reception Room and organized an auxiliary to be known as THE WOMEN'S AUXILIARY OF THE LUTHERAN THEOLOGICAL SOUTHERN SEMINARY."
