SOMEONE has been watching you. The penetrating eyes of Donnybrook 59 have swept the campus, recording elusive i111p1essio11s, lasting expressions of Coucher College. F 01 although the ordinary e01- Iege student is to be discovered staring out of a window, observing resplendent horizons broaden before her earnest gaze, or just watching the grass grow, we have chosen instead to look into the Goueher windowseto 111t10speet. We have seen the Gaucher student treading a tightrope between two worldsethe tangible and the intangible, the heat, world of twentieth century polities and pepsi and the aeadenn'e world of the printed page, the latest Realm of Ideas. Her greatest security hes 111 the realization that, teetering 011 the tre111hh11g wire of independence, she belongs Wholly to neither. We have observed her Dedicatio11eusually to a patchwork of expiring hopes, adolescent ideals, nascent ideas.

And the tourth-of-fuly days When :1 bookstore becomes as exhilarating as Bonwit Tellers and 5111 Idea comes at last, streaking like 3 101115111 candle out of nowhere, spilling its brilliance into the little world of Goucher.

DR. OTTO F. KRAUSHAAR THIS year, President Otto F. Kraushaar will celebrate his tenth anniversary as chief administra- tor of Goueher College. These have been years of accelerated progress in both academic and physical aspects. Under his leadership, Coucher has made great steps toward completion of the new campus. Academically, the future looks increasingly favor- able. Problems, which naturally appear when changing from the old to the new, have been solved with a minimum of excitement and a maximum of effi- ciency. That the college survived the confusion caused by a division of location7 that it did not let this in any way interfere with its academic standards is a tribute to President Kraushaar and all those working with him. In 1954, when the enrollment began rising stead- ily, the academic requirements paralleled this rise. Gradually, Coucher became a leader among wom- envs colleges.
