t Oun ' Dean Greetings to the Class of 1 949 ! The yearbook for the Class of 1949 should be a chronicle of notable events, for these three years have been full of achievement. Yours was the excitement of arrival before the new wings on Maxwell Hall were furnished, — and your first year was busy with visitors viewing your domain at all hours of the day and night. Visitors from all over the world have been the order of the day, since the meetings of the International Council of Nurses in the spring of your freshman year. Yours was the distinction of starting the celebration of The Half-Way Mark in the middle of your second year. The installation of General Eisenhower as President of Columbia Uni- versity coincided with the opening of your senior year, — and your class presi- dent represented all of our students in that remarkable academic procession. Your success in the 1948 Red Cross Drive ($1,116.00) and in the 1949 spring bazaar benefitting the Foster Parents Plan for War Children ($1,900.00); the establishment of the Sample Room as a regular service in Maxwell Hall, and its fine contribution toward the Yearbook; your effective interest and support of the student recruiting activities: all of these achieve- ments combined with your outstanding academic and professional records bear permanent testimony to your abilities, to your good judgment in choosing leaders within your group, and to your fine spirit of cooperation. We congratulate you on all of these achievements. We promise you our sincere interest in the years to come, wherever you may be; and we welcome your resourcefulness and your high ideals in the ranks of our alumnae! jLwffi.0W
