The youngest of four children, including the future Dr. Franklin Scott, Lavinia spent her life surrounded by education. As a child she attended local public schools, including Jacksonville High School, and in 1923 enrolled in a Bachelor's degree program at Illinois College, where her father served as a Dean for eight years before his sudden death in 1926. Lavinia graduated the following year (1927) with a B.A. in History and it was here that she began to devote her life to education full-time, securing a teaching position with Illinois' Harvard Community High School District Number 153 which she held for approximately two years.","Around the beginning of the 1930s, Lavinia's focus shifted from secular education to international educational missionary work. She enrolled in a Master's program with the Yale Divinity School and upon moving to Connecticut spent two years in training with the United Congregational Church in Bridgeport. In August 1932, less than two months after receiving her Master of Art's degree in June, Lavinia was assigned a teaching position at Adams College (formerly Amanzimtoti Institute) in South Africa under the direction of the Congregational Church affiliated American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM). ","Lavinia remained at Adams College until she was transferred to nearby Inanda Seminary in 1936 where she assumed the role of Principal, a title which she held for over 30 years. During this time, she fought back against the South African government's discriminatory Apartheid policies, particularly the Bantu Education Act of 1953, which both significantly lowered the quality of education available to Black South Africans and removed government funding for private missionary schools. She also oversaw the school's Centenary Celebration in 1969, as well as several expansions to the campus, including the beginning of what would become the \"Lavinia Scott Chapel\". In 1969, she left Inanda Seminary, transferring to the newly formed Federal Theological Seminary where she returned to a teaching position until her formal retirement circa 1974.","While her retirement saw a return to the United States, ultimately assuming residence in Claremont, California, it did not mean the end of her mission work. For the next 20 years, Lavinia was an active speaker on behalf of the newly formed United Church of Christ as a South African mission representative for the United Church Board for World Ministries (UCBWM), formerly the ABCFM. She also continued her social justice advocacy, working on behalf of both domestic and international causes, including extensive work throughout the 1980s with the Claremont branch of the Task Force on Central America. Despite her busy schedule, Lavinia still found time to continue her love of traveling, including domestic trips with family and friends, and several returns to South Africa and Inanda Seminary.","While Lavinia never fully stopped her missionary work, she did eventually move to a UCC affiliated retirement community in Claremont known as Pilgrim Place where she lived until her passing on July 10, 1997 at the age of 90. She is buried near her family in Jacksonville's Diamond Grove Cemetery.","Processing completed by Meghan Glasbrenner from September 2022 - August 2023.

This series is arranged alphabetically by correspondent last name, group title, or type of correspondence, such as Family letters sent by Lavinia during her years in South Africa.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes newsletter clipping\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes newspaper clipping\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes photo Christmas card and newspaper clipping\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes Inanada Seminary booklet and photographs\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes newspaper clipping\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes newspaper clipppings\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes several newspaper clippings and  1978 matriculation reports for Inanda Seminary\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes photographs\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes photographs\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes photographs\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes photographs and newspaper clipping\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes multiple photographs sent with letters\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes photo card\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes photo cards\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes newspaper clipping and photographs\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes photographs and photo cards\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes numerous photographs, circa 1990s\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes newspaper clippings\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes newspaper clipping\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes newspaper clipping photocopy\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes newspaper clipping\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes 2 photocopied photographs\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes newspaper clipping\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes newspaper clipping photocopy\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes photographs\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes photograph on front of card\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes photograph\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes numerous photographs\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes photograph\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes photo Christmas cards\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes photograph\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes newspaper clipping\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes photo cards\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eAdditional correspondence, particularly letters sent from Lavinia, are held by\n\u003ca href=\"https://findingaids.library.northwestern.edu/repositories/4/resources/829\"\u003eNorthwestern University\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eAdditional correspondence, particularly letters sent from Lavinia, are held by\n\u003ca href=\"https://findingaids.library.northwestern.edu/repositories/4/resources/829\"\u003eNorthwestern University\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes digitized items due to preservation issues, available upon request\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes newspaper clipping\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes newspaper clippings\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes corrected draft copy of profile\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes newspaper clipping\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes photo Christmas card\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes photograph\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes photograph\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes digitized item due to preservation issues, available upon request\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes photographs\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes photograph\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes newspaper clipping\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes newspaper clippings and photograph\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eIncludes newspaper clipping photocopy\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eSeries 2: Professional activities (1885, 1917-1997) includes both direct and indirect materials related to Lavinia's professional life as a Christian missionary speaker and educator.

The youngest of four children, including the future Dr. Franklin Scott, Lavinia spent her life surrounded by education. As a child she attended local public schools, including Jacksonville High School, and in 1923 enrolled in a Bachelor's degree program at Illinois College, where her father served as a Dean for eight years before his sudden death in 1926. Lavinia graduated the following year (1927) with a B.A. in History and it was here that she began to devote her life to education full-time, securing a teaching position with Illinois' Harvard Community High School District Number 153 which she held for approximately two years.","Around the beginning of the 1930s, Lavinia's focus shifted from secular education to international educational missionary work. She enrolled in a Master's program with the Yale Divinity School and upon moving to Connecticut spent two years in training with the United Congregational Church in Bridgeport. In August 1932, less than two months after receiving her Master of Art's degree in June, Lavinia was assigned a teaching position at Adams College (formerly Amanzimtoti Institute) in South Africa under the direction of the Congregational Church affiliated American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM). ","Lavinia remained at Adams College until she was transferred to nearby Inanda Seminary in 1936 where she assumed the role of Principal, a title which she held for over 30 years. During this time, she fought back against the South African government's discriminatory Apartheid policies, particularly the Bantu Education Act of 1953, which both significantly lowered the quality of education available to Black South Africans and removed government funding for private missionary schools. She also oversaw the school's Centenary Celebration in 1969, as well as several expansions to the campus, including the beginning of what would become the \"Lavinia Scott Chapel\". In 1969, she left Inanda Seminary, transferring to the newly formed Federal Theological Seminary where she returned to a teaching position until her formal retirement circa 1974.","While her retirement saw a return to the United States, ultimately assuming residence in Claremont, California, it did not mean the end of her mission work. For the next 20 years, Lavinia was an active speaker on behalf of the newly formed United Church of Christ as a South African mission representative for the United Church Board for World Ministries (UCBWM), formerly the ABCFM. She also continued her social justice advocacy, working on behalf of both domestic and international causes, including extensive work throughout the 1980s with the Claremont branch of the Task Force on Central America. Despite her busy schedule, Lavinia still found time to continue her love of traveling, including domestic trips with family and friends, and several returns to South Africa and Inanda Seminary.","While Lavinia never fully stopped her missionary work, she did eventually move to a UCC affiliated retirement community in Claremont known as Pilgrim Place where she lived until her passing on July 10, 1997 at the age of 90. She is buried near her family in Jacksonville's Diamond Grove Cemetery.","Processing completed by Meghan Glasbrenner from September 2022 - August 2023.
