Mary Alice Marshall
The Mary Alice Marshall Music Scholarship was established in May 1973, by members and friends of the Temple College Choir. The scholarship, in honor of Mrs. Marshall?s 18 years of teaching at Temple College, assists a student who exhibits an interest and talent in music and participates in the College Choir. During her 104 years, Mrs. Marshall was an iconic member of the Temple community and continued to serve on the board of the Temple College Foundation until her death.
Impact
In the music program, you know Mary Alice Marshall. We take all of our classes in her building. And there’s a picture of her when you first walk in to the Performing Arts Center. But I feel like I know her even better. Everyone tells stories about how short she was, how strict a teacher she was, and how long she lived. I hope I have even a little bit of that kind of success in my music career and in my life.
