'1,..n.. 4-..a.-u....L'Lsf:1.nf.i1.1u - Queens College, a small, private, liberal arts institution with a Presbyterian affiliation, has been home to young women since 1857 when it was called the Charlotte Female lnstitute. ln these 125 years, Queens has seen its share of changes inevitable to a vibrant institution. Between 1900- 1919 Queens prepared women for roles as teachers and wives, by 1932 the college had upgraded academic stan- dards and obtained its accreditation, the college was debt- free and graduates were beginning to enter the business world in 19405 the 19503 saw the dedication of Bell: Chapel and a campaign in which students raised over 330,000 toward the installation of a pool in Ovens Physical Education Building. During the 1960's Dana Building, Ever- ett Library, Walker Science building, EH Little Fine Arts Center, Harris, Wallace, Albright, and Barnhardt dormi- tories were built - and in 1969 a chapel sit-in ended required chapel attendance. The early 1970's evidenced hnancial problems as inflation drastically raised the price of college education. The late 70's brought President Billy l,Wreman to Queens. Under his leadership the college has strengthened its undergraduate program, expanded its of- ferings to new community markets, engaged in progressive assessment management, and raised over six million dollars through a New Horizons fund and a church campaign au- thorized by the Presbyterian Synod. The 1980's show the highest enrollment in Queens' history with 1,068 students in its various programs, and 81,152,000 in gifts for current operations.

As a home, a place of heritage, Queens serves as a starting point for the inevita- ble, but not guaranteed achievable, growth towards mature adulthood. Each year the cycle of birth and rebirth is initiated as uprooted freshmen struggle to tind their niche while return- ing upperclassmen stretch and strive to till their everexpand- ing ones. The time here is short, yet Queens offers to young women living in the present a doorway into the past as well as the future - a doorway whose perspective is needed to stand conhdently in the everchanging present. Queens becomes in WE. Channing's words, Home - the nursery of the inhnite. VIRGINIA CLUB 'fl Nw. 1 nun Us lim: .- n X .1 Y Top: Self-explanatory. BOTTOM: Virginia Club, 1928.
