THEODORA KI MBALL, Treasurer Dorchester, Mass. DIRECTORS ALICE HIGGINS Worcester, Mass JESSIE MooRE Boston, Mass. LOUISE ANDREWS, Brookline, Mass. MARION BURRAGE, Rec. Sec. Cambridge, Mass Most persons come to the close of their four years of college life with a very genuine feeling of regret. There are those who have brought to their work no very serious purpose save that of getting their measure of pleasure and profit from the companionship which such a life offers, and there are those who, in seeking to drink to the full of the opportunities offered, give in return the very best that is in them. To both of these the ending is sad, and it is to them that the Alumnae would send their welcome. Qur interest in our college must not die, because we have turned in one day from students into graduates, but rather it should increase, because it is then more within our power to be of use to our Alma Mater. Many of our number are going out to posts of responsibility, they will be then be able to gauge more accurately the true worth of the work they have just completed, and in retrospect commend what they could not value as they passed along. As graduates our responsibility is even greater than as students, for in the years to come the reputation of the college will depend largely upon our accomplishment, and by it will public opinion be swayed. And so the object of the Alumnae Association is twofold. It must carry on the feeling of comradeship created and become a part of us during our college life, and it must serve as a means whereby our interest and loyalty and responsibility to the college may not be a mere desire in our own minds, but an actual working force. To the class of 1910, which is this year to be added to our ranks, we extend a most cordial welcome. MARTHA WENTWORTH SUFFREN 26
