lung Elizabeth Topham Kennan President of the College Mary J. Jacob Lcah Glasser Dean of International Students Acting Dean of Freshman Mount Holyoke's 150th year is an event for all of us who are members of this com- munity, both on campus and around the world. It is a time for celebration and for recollection of the past. In a blaze of fire- works we began the year, and our rejoicing has taken many shapes as the months have gone by. The year has significance, however, be- yond our own community and beyond its festive side. It is more than a time of self- congratulation. The triumph of our found- ing in 1837 capped years of travail by Mary Lyon and those who were her friends and supporters. The power of our growing and strengthening over one and a half centuries was the power of literally thousands of indi- viduals who gave of spirit and substance not only to this institution but to the larger task of education and to the struggle of all wom- en to find fuller opportunity for participa- tion in the work of civilization. And the rolling tide of all those years pushes us into the future and calls us to accept a new chal- lenge. Again and again I hear the same defini- tion of Mount Holyoke's nature: Mount Holyoke women care, for each other in pro- viding the support of friendship, for the state of the world and the people who in- habit it, for the academic enterprise and the life of the mind. Our caring is visible and it puts upon us a burden of responsibility: to act, to make a difference, whether as moth- ers, or teachers or leaders of corporations and nations. Together we can accomplish nothing less than the binding of all to the goal of universal decency. The past meets the future now, in the person of each of you who are members of the Class of 1987, in the person of each ofus who have studied and grown in the shelter of these walls. Let the future begin: togeth- er we will build a new world, a world that we can help guide to an understanding of the caring, the courage, and the thoughtful caution that we learned as daughters of Mary Lyon. Good luck and good cheer to the sesqui- centennial graduating class! fagwk 21
