Romance flourished in their day, as in ours. In fact, the class of 1894 chose Always keep a certain end in view as their motto, and left no doubt as to their aim in life. Maybe we should take lessons ! Dr. Henry D. Lindsay, Miss Cora Helen Coolidge and Miss Janet Brownlee were the next three people to leave a mark upon the college. Dr. Lindsay as Pres- ident, Miss Coolidge, as Dean and President, and Miss Brownlee as principal of Dilworth Hall, the preparatory department of the college, exerted a very strong in- fluence over the college in this vital period of its growth. Under them, it became an established, not a struggling ins titution. They bridged the gap between PCW ' s beginning and its maturity. Under them, the school ' s adolescent years were happy ones. They handed a scholastically recognized college of the first degree into the keeping of Dr. H. L. Spencer and Miss Mary Helen Marks, who have guided it into being one of the foremost women ' s colleges in America. The history of this college has been a history of people. Of its presidents and deans, of its students, and of its faculty. All of them have added something to what is Pennsylvania College for Women today. And of all these, no two have been of such importance as Miss Marks and Dr. Spencer. They have given the students something of their own fineness and character, they have guarded the tra- ditions, both academic and otherwise, of PCW, and have been sympathetic and helpful to all students in all situations. It was a blow to all of us here in school, and to the alumnae all over the country, when we learned that Dr. Spencer was leaving at the close of the school year. We cannot conceive of a PCW without him, and as seniors are a little pleased that we will never know it. He has been the greatest single force in the history of the college, and under his guiding hand we have become a truly liberal college. He leaves an enviable record behind him, but also leaves his personality in every part of the school. We know that Miss Marks will continue to do in the future all that she has done in the past for PCW. A college is the people who make it. and these two people have indeed made the PCW of 1945.
