Scott taught here from 1924 until she retired in 1951. She was the first woman to be
promoted to the rank of full professor in the English department in 1957.
A professorship in English and a Town and Gown scholarship for a student will be established in her name under provisions of Scott’s will. Another scholarship will be named for Nina Streeter, a faculty friend who died in 1951.
Scott was an authority on Chaucer and published research articles in professional journals on Sir Robert Howard, a 17th century English dramatist who was a collaborator of John Dryden.
Scott was a life member of Town and Gown, a philanthropic organization of USC and community women who provide studentscholarships and housing on campus.

Buckminster Fuller to speak Monday night for workshop opening
By Patta Steele Editor
You are on a spaceship that is in trouble.
What needs to be done to insure a successful trajectory of continuing survival?
If the type of situation posed above sparks your imagination and challenges you to become involved in the world and space around you, then perhaps it would be well worth your while to delve deeper into design science.
The School of Architecture and Fine Arts can be of assistance. A four-week workshop beginning Monday sponsored by this department, can perhaps answer many questions about design science and initiate many more needing to be studied.
Buckminster Fuller, philosopher and design-scientist, will open the workshop on Monday night with a lecture related to his theories on design science.
Fuller, who is 78, is credited with the invention of the geodesic dome, has written 20 books and the body of resource planning material he calls the World game. He is currently working on the subject of a major exhibition at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry.
He will speak in Edison Auditorium of Hoffman Hall at 8 p.m. Advance tickets are on sale in the Student Union 200. Tickets are $2.
The workshop, held in conjunction with the summer session and the Earth Metabolic Design, Inc., New Haven, Conn., is offered for two to four units of credit.
It will last through August 31 and will meet daily from 9 to noon and from 1:15 to 5 p.m
“The purpose of this international, multidisciplinary workshop is to provide participants with a working understanding of what Buckminster Fuller has called ‘comprehensive anticipatory design science' and other relevant tools of global systems analysis and integrative world resource planning,” said Jack Marquette, research assistant and workshop coordinator.
‘Participants will directly aid in the design of comprehensive, viable, and immediately implementable alternatives for ‘Spaceship Earth’ in the broad problem areas of energy, food, shelter, health care, transportation, communication, education, recreation, logistics, and ecological context.”
Participants will spend the first week orienting themselves to the concepts of design science through lectures, seminars, films, videotapes, games, and discussions.
Areas that will be discussed include global perspectives on some of the problem areas mentioned above, systems analysis, technological forecasting, future studies, and world resources.
The next three weeks will be a practicum of design science application and exploration utilizing the concepts, methods, tools, and procedures learned in the first week in the development of alternative strategies for resolving the critical problems facing the earth and in the documentation ofthe results of the workshop.
All those enrolled must go through the first week before moving into the design science application and documentation segments in the following weeks.
