iijuf O32 Stand Coqeflzern The Alumnae do not leave us in doubt as to where we stand with them. They have given many evidences of their interest and affection. They provide endowments, loan funds, gifts, the ben- efits of which we enjoy. Invariably they are eager to meet, to entertain, and to help us. It seems high time that we, ualumnae- to-be, should show how proud we are of them. We wonder if they lcnow how much we lcnow about them. We can rattle off several individual histories. Charlotte Blake Brown, '66, distinguished surgeon and child specialist, establishing the first training school for nurses on the Pacific Coast. Another physician, Mary Niles, '75, was a medical missionary to China for forty years, and there established that country's first school for the blind. The second woman to be elected to the United States Congress was an Elmira alumna, Alice Robertson, '76. More recently Anna Spiesman Starr, '13, has .won unusual dis- tinction in the field of psychology, while Sylvia Chatfield Bates, ,05, has heard the pleasant ring of critical commendation for her novel, The Long Way Home. Admittedly we are impressed by these individual accomplishments, but no more than by the attitude of all Elmira Alumnae. Career women and homemalcers alike, despite the crowding hours of their busy lives, find time to stand together in the preservation of old loyalties and in service to their College. ' l27l
