Neil Sr., Robert G.
No full text“Brother Bob” attended Lipscomb between 1927–30, demonstrating excellence in academics, athletics, and music. He was a tenor in the college’s traveling quartets. From 1933 to 1943 he taught at Lipscomb, coached high school and college basketball and baseball, and led chapel singing. He was instrumental in broadcasting chapel services nationwide via CBS network stations. After a distinguished career as a teacher and administrator in Nashville public schools, he renewed his association with Lipscomb. He created the Golden Circle reunion and led a new era of alumni involvement. A deeply spiritual man of integrity, character, and enthusiasm, he truly is Lipscomb\u27s “grand old alumnus.”https://digitalcollections.lipscomb.edu/legends/1015/thumbnail.jp

Pittman, S. P.
No full textFrom setting foot on campus as a student in 1892 until his death in 1965, S. P. Pitman was an almost constant fixture on the Lipscomb campus. He spent his life teaching oratory and Bible to such Lipscomb students as B. C. Goodpasture, Charles R. and G. C. Brewer, and H. Leo Boles. Respected among colleagues as a thorough scholar, he always had time to talk with a student and often helped students in financial need from his own pocket. Free from envy, malice, and possessing a forgiving spirit, S. P. Pitman was a shining light to Lipscomb students, faculty, staff and alumni.https://digitalcollections.lipscomb.edu/legends/1012/thumbnail.jp

Binding of D-phenylalanine and D-tyrosine To Carboxypeptidase-a
No full textThe structures of the complexes of carboxypeptidase A with the amino acids D-phenylalanine and D-tyrosine are reported as determined by x-ray crystallographic methods to a resolution of 2.0 A. In each individual study one molecule of amino acids binds to the enzyme in the COOH-terminal hydrophobic pocket: the carboxylate of the bound ligand salt links with Arg-145, and the alpha-amino group salt links with Glu-270. The carboxylate of Glu-270 must break its hydrogen bond with the native zinc-bound water molecule in order to exploit the latter interaction. This result is in accord with spectroscopic studies which indicate that the binding of D or L amino acids (or analogues thereof) allows for more facile displacement of the metal-bound water by anions (Bicknell, R., Schaffer, A., Bertini, I., Luchinat, C., Vallee, B. L., and Auld, D. S. (1988) Biochemistry 27, 1050-1057). Additionally, we observe a significant movement of the zinc-bound water molecule (approximately 1 A) upon the binding of D-ligands. We propose that this unanticipated movement also contributes to anion sensitivity. The structural results of the current x-ray study correct predictions made in an early model building study regarding the binding of D-phenylalanine (Lipscomb, W. N., Hartsuck, J. A., Reeke, G. N., Jr., Quiocho, F. A., Bethge, P. H., Ludwig, M. L., Steitz, T. A., Muirhead, H., and Coppola, J. C. (1968) Brookhaven Symp. Biol. 21, 24-90)
Letter re: Amon Carter, Jr.
No full textLetter from Willis G. Lipscomb to Amon Carter expressing sympathy at the news that his son, Amon, Jr., had been reported missing in action in North Africa.Ft. Worth March 12, 1943 My dear Mr. Carter - Ever since hearing the first report yesterday about your son, you have been very much on my mind, and I don't want to leave Ft. Worth without telling you how much I've been thinking of you the past twenty four hours. Amon, Jr. will, undoubtedly, turn up before long - as a prisoner of war, or after having lost communication with his outfit, but I pray that such good news will soon follow the shocking advice of yesterday. All of us in the New York office, just like your thousands of friends all over the country, will be with you in spirit, confident that everything is going to be all right. Sincerely yours - Willis G. Lipscom

Letter re: American Airlines sales manager
No full textLetter from Willis G. Lipscomb of American Airlines to Amon Carter informing Carter of the new Fort Worth Sales Manager for American.[1946] 117th Street Virginia Beach, Va July 30 Dear Mr. Carter- We have finally selected a man for the Ft. Worth Sales Manager position after carfefully reviewing all of the possible candidates. His name is Harry Wiseman- he has been with the compay about ten years & since returning from the Navy on Jan. 1st has been Sales Manager at Newport. He is from a small town in up state New York. Altho I would have preferred some one from the "cotton country," I am well satisfied that Harry's big smile & straight-from-the-shoulder methods will appeal to you and to the Ft. Worth people. We decided upon him just as I was leaving for Va. Beach with my family and I didn't have a chance to write you from N.Y. He will be in to see you when he arrives next week & I hope that you will like him. I suppose that you will be up for the Directors meeting next month & I shall look forward to seeing you then. We certainly enjoyed those ham steaks & the whole family appreciates your thoughtfulness. Kindest regards. Very sincerely, Willis Lipscom
