RECOGNITION T X HE “Whaler” is pleased to be a medium for expressing the high esteem in which Dr. Katharine Blunt,, retiring president of Connecticut College, has been held by all faculty members and students at Bulkeley School during the thirteen years of her administration. The influence of Dr. Blunt’s genius for organization and of her vision in extending the training of young women for professional fields or for new spheres of activity, may be regarded as a national benefaction. Dr. Katharine Blunt’s cordial manner, reflecting her goodwill, her zeal for promoting the social welfare or forward movement of an institution or a civic group, have endeared her to young folks and old alike, here in New London. Dr. Blunt has chosen to make New London her home. The entire community rejoices that these relationships are to continue. We wish her a long and happy life revealing as always the generous cooperative spirit and the voice of a friend.
