There is no equality among years: some merely pass; others are filled with portents and signs and still others represent a fulfillment and pleasure only vaguely envisaged earlier. No one of the Class of 1956 will feel that her four years in college have simply elapsed. For some of you the years will have been full of discovery of yourselves and of your world, and you will face the future with a greater sense of confidence than when you came to college. For others of you, these years at Connecticut will have opened new vistas, but will have revealed too the enormous com- plexity of the problems ahead so that you are overwhelmed with a feeling of humility before the future. But no one of you will wish the years to have been spent differently and all of you will feel an increasing sense of gratitude to the two institutions which made this experience possible for you; the one of these is the oldest institution in the world, the human familythe other is a successful modern invention, the college for women. Both of these institutions take pride in your career here, are filled with pleasure and confidence in your future and send to you through this volume sincerest hopes for your continued success and great happiness. i s President

Wlxom WQ JGUJ Tt is the nature of the soul to appropriate all things. As we first looked at the pages of, and later learned to read, Pinocchio and Winnie the Poob, we were unaware of the theories and the various philosophies that would surround us when we finally reached college. As we left our parents to move to a nine-month home away from home, we realized that we had acquired new directors. With the academic and friendly aid of the faculty and administration, with their suggestions and rebukes, their smiles and frowns, we have been made to see new horizons and to aspire to new goals.
