The year of 1960-61 was like a painting, a canvas framed by once-ivied brick, blue uniforms, and a sloping back hill covered with sun-bright trees. Each of us views this painting with different perspective. Each has her special place in regard to the whole. The Tatler is a guide to the things we all shared and recognize---the outlines of a person, the tones of varied discussion, the color of a season, the shape of a holiday. We think of this painting of our year as a masterpiece, a masterpiece begun with the bare, black sketch of the calendar and slowly filled in with the lines of our action, the tints of our thoughts, the shifting hues of our days. We formed per- sonal patterns and placed ourselves into the design of Northrop life, that rococo de- sign shaped by the artists of time, circumstance, and experience. Northrop has not changed us completely, but in this fitting-in process she has tempered us, as an art- ist mixes colors too intense for use. Now the patterns are set, the canvas is finished, we are leaving its frame forever, for wider canvases and larger frames. The sense that helps us recognize this year as a work of art, the sense that helps us discern a masterpiece from a mere assemblage of paint and canvas, is fragile. The prosaic may trample it, trivia strangle it. lt needs protection and training. It is precious, for it can make life wonderful in good times and bearable in bad times. In some of us this sense would never have grown at all if not for the efforts of one who has cheerfully suffered noise, disorder, and spilled paint to find it and develop it in us. She it is who has done her best with every student, no matter how literal- minded or insensitive-seeming. She it is who has brought to all an appreciation and an understanding of the wonderous thing,creativity'. She has taught us to find merit in the clumsiest efforts, even our own, and to find flaws without disliking the whole work, and to know the good from the bad, and the great from the good. Her imagi- nation and talent have added gaiety to all the endless Northrop specialties-bazaars, plays, and dances. For these things, and for the vast amounts of help, advice, and sympathy that she has given an always-harried, sometimes panicky Tatler staff, we dedicate this book to FRANCES CHAPMAN MAGUFFHN
