We are humang we want to exceed our goals and that's good. lt keeps us on our toes. When the Charlotte Female Institute opened its doors in 1857, most of the students took courses in sewing and music. After gradu- ation, these women either got married or taught school. Now several doctors, lawyers, bankers, and scholars call Queens College their alma mater. Queens has grown up. It outgrew its first three campuses, and several buildings have been added to the present location. However, the physical plant isn't the only thing that has expanded at Queens. The curriculum is much wider than it was five years ago. Women from the ages of 18-22 are not the only ones to take advantage of what Queens has to offer. The New Dimensions program is designed for women over 25 who want to complete their college education. The Live, Work, Study pro- gram is designed to give older students the opportunity to live on campus, attend classes, and workin an outside job. The co-education- al Graduate School, New College, and Queens lnstitute of Lifelong Learning are three other offerings at Queens. These classes are taught in the evening to allow members of the com- munity to take advantage of our resources. Through the years, we have become better. We offer programs to a more diverse audi- ence. We've expanded our facilities. Our stu- dents are of a higher academic calibre. We're happy with it, but it's not enough. We're hu- man. We keep striving for excellence. Opening!5 R
