Leonard who was Preceptress of the College for fort -nine ears. Her portrait now hangs in North Hall of John Sutton. In memor ' of this pioneer in education we have Leonard Literary Society. The organization has brought to the campus this year a top-flight artist from Hollywood and one from Broadway. It has from its own Theatre Workshop presented three full-evening pla s and man ' one acts. These one-acts along with the full-length plays gave a beginning experience to many who might never otherwise have had opportunity to engage in dramatics. The workshop builds hours of service in theatre experience for English majors, especially juniors and seniors. It also includes seniors from other department -. 150
