SJ QQ? j A,. -, . -:f Q i 4- Achievements OUNDED in l860, the Woman's College of Due West celebrated its sixtieth anniversary Commencement week, May 29-June l, l920. In the last sixty years the college has graduated l,099 young women and trained a total of 5,5 I 9. The non-graduates are included with the gradu- ates as a matter of fairness, because in the early years of its history it was far less general for girls to complete the course and graduate than it is today, and many of the non-graduates are quite as loyal to the good mother and quite as faithful in doing her bidding as are those who have been fortunate enough to receive the diploma. As a class the students of the Due West Woman's College are far from wealthyg quite a number help to put themselves through college. The majority of the students come from the middle class Southern home. To have made college education a reality for these girls is the primary achievement of the institution If one attempts an investigation into the careers of the daughters of the Due West Woman s College one IS impressed first of all by their modesty Their work has been done as a matter of course and has so entered into the warp and woof of community life that its identity has been largely lost N trumpet has been sounded to call attention to their achievements Vvhat they have been able to do they have accomplished quietly as their natural neces sary gladsome duty towards the common good Of the total number of graduates and non graduates thirty five per cent are teachers Others are missionaries home makers business women Y W C A and Sabbath school secretaries trained nurses and leaders in their com munities in social religious and civic work There have not been lacking from the list of graduates a few names well known in academic and social and philanthropic fields of service but the col lege prides itself most upon the splendid average of her graduates By far the Vast majority of her alumnae and non graduates have gone out into the homes and schools and churches where zealous workers and modest leaders are most urgently needed vfai ry , . . . . 9 9 3 ' . , . . . . . .
