Administration uides the ollege... ,lane Louise Dlesick . . .helps . .from marks lo marriage CORPORATION The Simmons College Corporation is a phrase familiar to each of us. But who are the corpora- tion? The college charter contains the official answer to this question. Simmons College was established by the will of the late John Simmons of Boston, as an institu- tion in which instruction might be given to Women in such branches of art, science and industry as would best enable the scholar to acquire an inde- pendent livelihoodf' In 1899 the Legislature of iNIassachusetts granted the college its charter in the form of an act of incorporation. Remember Economics 1? If so, you will remem- ber that the corporation represents Simmons College, not in its individual members, but in its status as a group personality. VVhat does the corporation do for us? Read on in the charter: . . .to receive, hold and manage the property and funds devised or bequeathed by the will of John Simmons, late of Boston, deceased, for the foundation and endowing of an institution to be called Simmons Collegeg and generally to conduct the affairs of said collegef, The twenty-five members of the present Sim- mons Corporation are the embodiment of our college and personify the principles of fairness and honesty which mean so much to us all. ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS Miss .lane Louise lNIesick, Dean of Simmons. is as important a part of college life as classes them- selves. Her able advice and sympathy have helped students through all kinds of difliculties!from marks to marriage. Charming and gracious, she is always ready to discuss anything which concerns their welfare. lkliss hlesick was graduated from hiount Holy- oke College in 1909, took her ANI. degree at Co- lumbia University in 1913, and her Ph.D. at Columbia in 1921. In 1930 the degree of I,itt.D. was conferred upon her at hIount Holyoke. As Instructor in English, and later as Assistant Dean, Miss lilesick learned to know Simmons girls and to understand the Simmons system of education and honor, both of which she has since expounded in her office with unfailing courtesy--and firmness. A question each girl at Simmons has her chance to answer before graduation is the quiet W'hat would you like to see changed here?,' This con- siderate inquiry has made clear to many of us the interest of the collegegand of our Dean-in each individual. In the friendly smiles and greetings which she meets each day, the Dean has her tribute from her girlsf' Richmond K. Bachelder UNO checks cashed after two p.m.
