m i ■ ' ..•■.rJ ' V ' i -J- iV ' V CH TH M COLLEOt h- rill- LlortArt CH TH M COLLEGE CORNERSTONE 1961 Chatham College Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania The school year of I 960-6 1 has been one of change at Chatham College, change which has nnade a busy and difficult initia- tion for our new President. Dr. Edward D. Eddy, Jr. came to us in September from the University of New Hampshire where he was Vice President and Provost, and since he and his family have moved into Gregg hHouse, his beneficent influence has been felt in all phases of campus life. An advocate of the open-door policy, Dr. Eddy is never too busy to listen to our gripes, problems or ideas. He hopes to do away with the plague of misunderstanding in the college community by increasing chan- nejs of communication among faculty, ad- ministration, and student. The President ' s roundtable where all campus issues are freely discussed, the informal open-houses at his home, the friendly wave and quick smile are all important parts of the new administration. We are grateful for the comforting words, for the assurance that the changes which we are undergoing are a healthy sign of growth and not a phenomena peculiar to our college. With deepest admiration and respect and with grand hopes for the future, we dedicate the 1961 CORNERSTONE to President Edward D. Eddy and to the spirit of intelligent non-conformity for which he stands. The CORNERSTONE for 1961 seeks, as do all yearbooks, to provide a lasting record of the past year for the interest of the students and for the memories which it will some day recall. This year ' s staff, in our at- tempt to capture the spirit of Cha- tham in pictures and in words, pre- sents Chatham as we see it, perhaps colored a bit by our vision of Cha- tham as we wish to see it; thus, the theme of individualism within the college community. Any record of this school year must read like the METAMOR- PHOSES, but let it suffice to say that the change which we are under- going indicates a striving on our part to reach a higher goal, and let us keep in mind this quotation from Plato: A society is made up of men . . . whose individual characters de - termine its direction. It Is the common wonder of all men, how among so many millions of faces there should be none alike. Sir Thomas Browne 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Human faculties are common, but that which converges these faculties into my identity, separates me from every other man. — That other man cannot think my thoughts, speak my words, do my works. — hHe cannot have my sins, and I cannot have his virtues. hHenry Giles 17 18 19 20 3 Vim 21 23 24 .

As a result of studying the problem of over- organization in student government, Legis- lature has been dissolved and its duties and functions assumed by the S.G.A. Executive Board and its member committees and boards. This action results in an increased efficiency in decision-making, clarification of channels of communication, and elimination of duplicated representation. Still seeking to cut down on over-organization and inefficiency, a commit- tee is surveying the purpose and function of S.G.A. Board, itself; hopefully, this revamping v ill stimulate increased interest and activity in student government. More responsibiliy is delegated to all students, especially those on S.G.A. Board; the results are sometimes questionable! 64 Dr. Arthur Tuden addresses the African Seminar.

Intellectual independence, personal integrity, honesty In all relationships and consideration for the rights and well being of others are the goals of the Honor Code, and are purposely broad and inclusive, designed to encompass both personal Ideals of honor and the ideals of the campus as a whole. Honor Board exists to insure that the standards of honor are adhered to, to provide positive guidance in developing the maturity necessary to these standards, and to offer leader- ship at those times when individual responsibility and community respon- sibility conflict. But in the last anal- ysis, the spirit of honor depends on the student body, its attitudes and actions. The Code itself is as elastic as the students permit it to be. The foundation of Honor is here at Chat- ham; it remains for the student body to build upon it.

Introduction: Speaking broadly, the senior class deals with the problems raised by Thoreau in his Essay on Civil Disobedience, but they can ' t speak of this in a Thoreauian monologue because the class does not speak with one voice. Instead let us turn to that more ancient form, the Platonic dialogue, which suits better the continuing questioning which characterizes their life to- gether this year. We have often been very concerned with the nature of the class, or of social groups in general. But haven ' t we also tried to define the individual? Perhaps it is best said that we have tried to define the rela- tionship of the individual to the community. Agreed, and I might add that we have found the problem much more complex than it apears on first glance. Even when we have resolved our differences and found solutions, the results have continued to be questioned, and unanimity has been im- possible. hiasn ' t this been a strength as well as a weak- ness? We have not claimed to know what is best, but we have felt conviction about argument. Dissent has clarified our views and strengthened our conviction. But the weaknesses should be pointed out, too. While many of us have been willing to isolate ourselves for tutorials and personal affairs, we may have lost something im- portant by failing to take advantage of our last opportunity to do things together. ' Togetherness ' has become a somewhat nasty term, but it does signify for some of us a value which we have missed this year, one perhaps better called a sense of community spirit. Even so, hasn ' t this experience contributed to a strength- ening of our judgment? We have been forced to weigh values not only in our personal affairs but also in the larger context through the issues of academic, religious, and personal freedoms which have been so hotly debated. In criticizing the basic forms of community life we have tried to open the way for a new structure which protects the rights of the individual to choose and act while still preserving the stability necessary to any society. We hope that out of the present discord, characteristic not only of this class or this college but of the world around us, a new harmony may be built which approaches more closely the ideals of justice and love.

They are trying hard to be the only class to never win song contest. Two years in a row they excelled in the art of kidnapping. Even the possibility of holding the only junior prom without a band was briefly enter- tained by two imaginative prom chair- men. The class of ' 62 still holds the distinction of being most athletic, or at least that is the impression which is giv- en by their collection of trophies. On many subjects the class is united; they are proud of their sisters, appreciative of mealtime, apprehensive about tutorials, and concerned over their futures. On many more subjects they are di- vided; political opinions are often violent, the phrase our commitment is used In varied ways, discussions center on pros and cons of chapel cuts, basic courses, nuclear warfare, democratic govern- ment, June weddings, and abstract art. Juniors are increasing their knowledge of World Issues, and many of them seem to take seriously C. Wright Mills ' advice, Blessed are the cynical, for only they have what it takes to succeed. Together they learn to face up to the problems of today while each junior is busy crowding in the courses that she hopes will widen her own scope of understanding and in- crease her preparedness for the last year to come. 126 Elaine Kessler, Lmda Hahn Kathy Otto, Carol Jo Bullen Judy Hallock.

They turn out in great numbers to cheer the Bucs on to victory. Election time brings pledges of untiring support for the candidate which is so carefully chosen, or for both candidates If this Is the students ' first encounter with the political system. Sophomores still find time for talking happy-talk between trips to the concert and art museum, play and ballet. Weeks are spent In decorating Webster Hall for the Bal du Masque to give Chatham a prom that looks like a prom. Along with all of her commitments and growing responsibilities each sophomore is busy discovering her own capacity for work. It isn ' t easy to avoid the gloom which comes around exam time when work piles up no matter how well the sched- ule was planned, but somehow this class of ' 63 has bottled up a reserve supply of en- ergy which is vented during that period of mid-semester blues and which continuously erupts in the dining room whenever the pace Is slowing down. The diversity of activities encourages many new interests and Insures that no two girls leave their sophomore year exactly alike.

September I960 — a new and sparkling class joins the college community overwhelming it with their size and, come Song Contest, with their volume. Full of spirit and enthusiasm for the life they are col- lectively rushing into, they overflow the lecture halls, overcrowd the dining halls, and overrun the ivy halls in their willing curiosity and their quest for knowledge. The stress is on academics, but their knowledge must include still more; they master the art of making small talk and the art of making friends; they learn the history of their college and the truth about blind dates. This class of green and white acquires not only the ability to complain and suggest but also the knowl- edge of when and where it will be most effective. Here are one hundred and ninety eager freshmen drawn together for the first time within a space where they must all carry the same basic courses, wear the same purple dinks, eat the same Saga food, read the same New York Times, and still, Chatham ends up with one hundred and ninety different opinions and one hundred and ninety dis- tinct personalities. The largest class brings the most problems, the greatest spirit , the loudest voices, the most confusion — all these the freshmen may share, but the success which Is to follow — this belongs to each freshman and to her alone.

The proof is in the pudding, and therefore the editor ' s comments at the end of a yearbook need only be acknowledge- ments and credits. There should be no need to mention the long hours of hard work (as I have just slyly done); in a successful yearbook their traces are covered by the polished surface of the finished product. Credit and compliments for the 196! CORNERSTONE be- long, above all, to the editors: to Lee Reuland, Art Editor, who first and last gave visual form to the pages; to Karen Leyon- mark, Photography Editor, whose mental eye also functions as a camera lens; to Gall Slegrlst, Literary Editor, whose good taste in nouns and verbs has added an extra flavor to the book; to Debbie Wolowltz, Assistant Editor, whose noncommittal title conceals a most heterogenous job, and to Lee Tarullo, Business Manager, to whom has been delegated all our money worries. We also thank Wendy hHaskell, Connie Merlino and all the other students who scheduled picture-taking, contributed photographs and drew layout. We extend our deepest gratitude to Mr. Smith and Mr. Oss- man, our advisors, who have steered us away from Error and out of Indecision. We thank Mr. Wilson and Mrs. O ' Toole of Public Relations for access to their photography files and we thank Miss McEIIIgott for her friendly advice. We owe many thanks to our professional associates: Walter Sickles, our photog- rapher; Edward Vltarelll of Vendome Studios; our old friend, James MacWilliams, representative for Foote Davles, Inc., our printers; and Dick Stewart and the Smith Company, for our covers. 154 Annet+e Frank Editor-in-Chief if.
