In March 1910, a committee of the Hartford College Club decided to test the reaction of the public toward a proposal of a four-year college for women, since the exclusion of women from Wesleyan University meant that there was no in- stitution of that sort in the state of Con- necticut. Encouragement led to material- ization and on Saturday, January 14, 1911, an expanded committee unanimous- ly voted to accept the site offered by the City of New London for the new college. A charter was granted to Thames Col- lege on the 4th of April, 1911, by the Connecticut General Assembly; however, the name was changed to Connecticut College for Women in July. The official inauguration took place at Thames Hall on October 9th, 1915. Dr. Frederick Sykes, the first president,spoke with fervent idealism of the new college as a college that would look forward not backward, as a college of breadth in its ideas and sympathies . . . as a college that from the first, by reason of its ideals and aims and by reason of its faculty, should be individual. The conception of education that Dr. Sykes hoped to real- ize at Connecticut College was: The union of the old education with the new, ideals of culture and character united with technical training, social direction, and human sympathy.?

DEDICATION The attainment of the fullest and most meaningful potential of personal existence is the goal of every member of this community. To Rosemary Park, President of Connec- ticut College, who has shown us by deeds that such a goal is not impossible to attain and is well worth striving for, we gratefully dedicate the 1962 Koine. It is rare that a college is fortunate enough to have a President, who personally em.- bodies all that one hopes to teach and learn and is the living illustration of the highest goals of education. Miss Park is such a person. Believing that education is a total and unending experience, she has courageously entered the arena of many of life's offerings, any one of which might stagger a lesser person, and has distinguished herself and Connecticut College in all of them. Although one might suspect that there could be no time for warm. th, depth, and probing in so full a life, it is precisely her warmth of understanding and her constant search to experience life in depth by knowing it in full, that has made Miss Park not only successful in all undertakings, but also admired by all who know her.
