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
