DEDICATION The Editor and Staff of the ' Pennsylvanian wish to dedicate this book to the Alumnae of Pennsylvania College for Women, in the hope that in doing so the attention of the present student body will be called to the fine achievement, and the high ideals of the great body of graduates who have gone before them. We wish them to feel more deeply than before what a fine heritage in the form of ideals and traditions these women have given them. We want it to be a tribute to each member of the Alumnae Association, but especi- ally to the very fine work done by six individuals. Miss Coolidge and the Alumnae Council selected these women as representatives of the highest honor in the fields of Social Service, Civics, Music, Education and Y. W. C. A. work. They have, after careful study and discussion, chosen Miss Meloy for the Social Service Field, Mrs. John M. Phillips for Civics, Miss Grace McBride for Music, Miss Mary McKee for Education, Miss Edith Stanton for Y. W. C. A. work, and Mrs. Keister as a representative of all the former Presidents of the Association, and as a fine and efficient executive. Our only regret is that we cannot name five or ten more graduates who have made important contributions in some field, for P. C. W. should be proud of the achieve- ment of her alumnae in every phase of work that they are doing.
