NASHVILLE (Oct. 4, 2010)–Jerome Reed, professor of music at Lipscomb University, has been named recipient of a newly endowed faculty chair, the Patricia and Rodes Hart Chair in Piano, President L. Randolph Lowry announced. The Patricia and Rodes Hart Chair in Piano was made possible by a $1 million gift from Nashville businessman Rodes Hart. “I wanted to give this gift because I am so amazed by the skill and ability of Jerry Reed, who is my piano teacher. I wanted to do something significant for him and for the department. I didn’t really know very much about Lipscomb University until I met him. I wanted to do something to support piano teaching specifically because of what he has done for me,” said Hart. “We believe strongly that supporting music and the arts is important in a well-rounded cultural city like Nashville.” “This generous gift from the Harts, creating an endowed chair, provides many opportunities for Lipscomb’s music faculty and students. The Harts’ passion for music, in particular piano, is being magnificently translated into a legacy in music education. It is fitting that Professor Reed, whose skills are internationally recognized, be the first to fill this chair,” said Lowry. Reed and Hart developed a friendship last year when Reed assisted Hart in selecting a Steinway for his office. Reed began to give Hart piano lessons during the summer, which quickly sparked a close friendship. Today, Reed goes to Hart’s Brentwood office once a week to conduct a piano lesson. The two share a passion for the piano and the arts. Hart and his wife, Patricia, and Reed and his...

Ever wish you could have breakfast at 10:10? Or a late night dinner after your first dinner? Now you can. Roy Platt, Lipscomb Dining/Sodexo’s General Manager announced in chapel today and major change in how meals can be used on campus. “You now have three meals a day that you can use anytime during the day,” said Platt. Allen Arena erupted in cheers and applause from students. “There are times late at night when I’m hungry and I want something to eat but I can’t because I’ve already had dinner,” said Jamin Craig, a freshman from Nashville. “So I really like [the change] if I didn’t eat breakfast or lunch that day.” Some students found some humor in the change and feel it’s a welcome but incomplete one. “I’m going to get all three meals at 8 a.m.,” said Sawyer Wallace, a junior bible and theater major from Alabama. “I think it’s a good change but I’m still paying $8.50 per meal for a $6 meal plan.” Sodexo’s meal plans have been under scrutiny from students for some time, but this change has brought some welcome relief for some from restrictions placed on those plans from the...
