Description
Dr. Berry brought more than a reputation for academic brilliance to Lipscomb when she joined the faculty in 1955: she brought the unusual ability to teach both mathematics and English effectively. Focusing on instruction in English, she demanded the same excellence from herself as she did from her students, while instilling in them her love for literature and creative writing. Her quiet yet efficient manner taught patience and endurance, and her service outside the classroom further demonstrated her love for her Lord. She advanced to the rank of professor and was appointed chair of the Department of English and Director of Teacher Education in 1980. She retired in 1990.
