MRS. WINIFRED H. DURFEE. A.B., A.M. Retiring Dean of Women Mrs. Winifred H. Durfec, Dean of Women. Hope College few professors can boast of such a career as hers. Twenty-seven years of constant vigil over the lives and destinies of all the young girls coming to Hope's cam- pus -certainly a responsibility, but she has done her work well and is entitled to that hour of leisure granted to a chosen few. We wish her bon voyage” on her pleasure cruise and success in her literary ventures. Mrs. Durfce's adventures in the educational realm have been many and diversified. After graduating from the Academy in her home- town of Belleville, JefTerson County. N. Y., she attended Oberlin College until her Jun- ior year. Her first degree was obtained at the University of New York and her Master's Certificate from the University of Wisconsin. Her summers she spent in further research work at Harvard and Northwestern. She taught successively in Belleville Academy. Glen Falls Academy, Keuka College. N. Y., and Hedding College, Abingdon. Illinois, where she was the head of the F.nglish de- partment. From the latter school she came to Hope, where she immediately took up her duties as Dean of Women. As instructor here her first class was one in Sophomore English, which she shared with Dr. Nykerk. Later she also taught French and became head of this department in 1919. She has retained this position since. Her teaching scope has included Freshmen and Sophomore English. Shakespeare, Words- worth, Drama and all four years of French. Mrs. Durfee has become as much a part of Hope College as Voorhees Hall itself. She has grown with it, seen it expand and devel- op into the fine educational institution it is today and she may well be satisfied with the realization that she has had a great part in its building. Through all these years Mrs. Durfee has held a warm place in the hearts of her girls.” Her gracious smile and friendly greeting will certainly be missed on Hope's campus. tin
