HANS FROELICHER OUCHER College belongs to a group of institutions for higher learning in the east which have the same general educational objective and policy. What distinguishes Goucher College from other colleges is not. therefore. its curriculum or its academic eminence, both of which it shares with other east- ern colleges. It is rather its atmosphere, its way of looking at the world and responding to its environment, its individual attitude to- ward the problem of the education of women, its reaction upon the revolu- tionary modernism in society and in education, especially higher education. During the last decade and a half a changing world has compelled a modification of educational policy. The western democratic ideal of edu- cation, the Great War and finally the new political status of women are threatening the traditional educational ideal of the east with an annihilat- ing levelling process. It is diiiicult to say whether it is a freshening high tide or a devastating tidal wave. In its beginnings a small college, founded as a non-sectarian institu- tion, by the Methodist Church, made possible thru the liberality of Dr. and Mrs. Goucher, established in the city of Baltimoreethe gateway of the south with its historic traditions and 01d aristocracy survivingeit pos- sessed a most happy mixture of elements from both north and south of Ma- son and Dixon. Under influences both liberal and conservative, in an at- mosphere equally far from the ruthless energy of the north and the then still prevalent indolence and reactionary social attitude of the south, it promised under favorable auspices, an educational product no less efficient because of its being sympathetic, gracious and gentle.

cherls ideal was perhaps the most perfect development of the mental nature of woman with those elements superadded which made Mrs. Goucher the Exemplar and Friend for every Goucher girl: deep, gentle, tolerant Chris- tianity, undemonstrative generosity and ministry, graciousness and sin- cerity of approach, modesty and self-effacement, quiet dignity. This truly seemed the pervading atmosphere in The Womanls College. This left its impress upon the young women who went forth from Goucher. This gave individuality t0 the College and t0 the graduate. Under these influences the position of Goucher was achieved. ttThe ideal entertained by the foun- ders of the College is the formation of womanly character for womanly ends? tJohn B. VanMeterl In response to the urgent demand of time, place and contemporary current, Goucher has become ttGreater Goucher. It is fair to ask what Dr. Goucherls own attitude toward the new order of things would have been. It may be confidently stated that Dr. Goucher, though conservative in his religious Faith, was uncompromisingly liberal in matters of education and social policy. He would have gone forward with the times without ever sacrificing one iota of the ideal upon which Goucher was founded. He would have been the last to tie the hands of his successors. There is not an element in Dr. Goucherls ideal for the ttGoucher that was, which could not and should not be nerpetuated in Greater Goucher. This the suc- cessive administrations have recognized. Thruout, the ideal of the founder has been explicitly and implicitly the guiding and ruling principle. In some respects it has been deepened and broadened. Taking full cognizance of the changing educational policies and currents, the present administration has striven to maintain and enhance the worth of its palladium of a distinc- tive and individual character. Greater Goucheril has in the main contin- ued true to herself, to Dr. Goucherls ideal, the educational ideal of ttthe formation of womanly character for womanly ends? Eighteen
