IN MEMORIAM N MONDAY afternoon, April 9th, the Head of our Cos- tume Department, Miss Grace Wilson Ripley, died suddenly. She has left a vacancy that cannot be filled. Her wide knowl- edge, her wider interests, her deep regard for her students made the rooms where she worked places of inspiration and wisdom. She was a teacher whose field was constantly growing broader. Her enthusiasm for dress and all its social and esthetic values, her love of beautiful color and sweeping lines, her wide-awake knowledge of her own subject as it is related to the life about her was as keen and as thorough as her love for the archaic and beautiful classic draperies, and the rich quality of oriental robes. But the boundaries of her mind did not stop there. She loved painting and sculpture and music. She read Plato and Aristotle. She filled in any spare moments in wide reading and thorough research. The last weeks of her life, and even the last hours, were dedi- cated to the welfare of her students, all of whom she loved as friends and as individuals. We shall not forget her.

MESSAGES FROM LTLHE PRES yee [No “No SNe ONS Castle Hot Springs Hotel Castle Hot Springs, Arizona March 25, 1945 EAR GRADUATING CLASS: Your letter was forwarded to me here in Arizona, and I wished that you were here to share my recreation. From the moment you turn off the main highway and drive twenty- four miles, winding around extinct volcanoes, covered with desert cactus, you are in a different world—‘‘out of this world”. Sequoia cactus that look like Steig drawings, rise up everywhere, in their weird shapes, and everywhere there is an infinite variety of other cactus for ground cover. Castle Hot Springs itself is an oasis in this desert, with palms and pepper- trees, water and green grass— 7 Most of all, I would like you to go on these rides—to places like Burro Basin, Hell Gate, Fort Misery and Spring Valley—places at the back of beyond, and way up on the top of the world, where mountains and wide horizons are spread out before you, and man seems so small. Every rise you climb keeps you breathless, wondering what is on the other side— The “hollows are plumb full of hush to the brim,” and always there is “beauty and wonder and peace”. May a breath of this beauty and wonder come to you, accompanied by the Arizona sun and air and “Good luck have thou with thine honore’”— Faithfully, HELEN M. DANFoRTH
