l l FOREWORD HE CUMNOCK of today is built upon enduring foundations. lt bears the name of an inspiring in- terpreter of literature and life, Dr. Robert McLean Cumnock for many years the head of the School of Oratory in Northwestern University. It embodies the ideals of three women of vision and power. Mrs. Merrill Moore Crigg, a woman of rare understanding and unfaltering faith, who had been first assistant of Dr. Cumnock, opened Cumnock School in l894 as a School of Expression. . S l ln l904 Mrs. Kate Tupper Galpin organized the Academy. Mrs. Oalpin possessed an unusual insight and capacity to inspire students to do and become their best. ln l9l6 Miss Helen Augusta Brooks became the headmistress and for ten years built her strong and beautiful spirit into the lives of the Cumnock girls. Under her leadership in l922 Cumnock moved to this commodious building. ln i928 Cumnock became coeducational. Cumnock has been and is fortunate in a body of devoted teachers carefully selected for scholarship, character and wholesome influence and a company of capable students loyal to its ideals. lt is our earnest purpose to make Cumnock a worthy memorial to those who have built their lives into its foundations. And still more to take full advantage of its unique and enlarging opportunity. Cumnock proposes to stand for high scholarship, for moral integrity, for social usefulness and for spiritual nobility.
