A change of administration is infrequent and involves new personalities. A cycle of which we have been a part is completed and a new one generated. No longer can we look at our four years of college as the present; we must now divide them into the past and the beginning of the future. Participating in this transition point of M omit llolyoke history is a revelation. l or we are very much aware that in spite of the change in leadership, in spite of innovations, the character of the College has remained the same. Since its foundation in 1837, Mount llolyoke has been striving to realize tlie ideal of the enlightened and constructive woman, who can respond intelligently to the needs of her time and her society. This objective unites all administrations—although the woman may change from Panganaskian to Uncommon. A Llamarada coming in this year of transition will try to evoke a sense of Mount Holyoke’s constant growth and its underlying stability, and to suggest musings on the interdependence of the past, present and future. The Grove and Mary Lyon's Grave, 1890

She was to lend her influence likewise to a maintenance within the college of a genuinely demo- cratic atmosphere as the only one in which a sincere education can flourish •Arthur C.
