Those who taught us made us think and question, and wonder. They gave us ideas, and we in turn gave them respect. Now the design symbolizes an infinite wonder. What they gave us we have made into a sphere. We united our ejjforts to a school in whose goals we believed. With many long hours' work we acquired not only that which was taught, we gained insight, understanding and a wordless respect for the educated woman whose knowledge reflects her life's work. 10

President William E. Park It is extraordinary in this life how attached one can become to people and places. Because your class -1961-is such a fine one, the faculty and staff of Simmons College have formed affectionate ties with you, so that we feel bad to think you are leaving us. But, in the same way, we are sure that you have become at- tached to Simmons College so that you feel sad to be leaving. However, along with this natural reluctance to face the changes that must come-a reluctance I feel each year as another class graduates-there are many rea- sons to be happy. During your years at Simmons you have achieved a solid foundation of general education and professional training which will give you a start in an interesting and productive career. You have made many friends among the faculty and student body, friends who will be a source of com- fort and stimulation to you always. You have learned a great deal about the art of living happily in a large community made up of people of varying backgrounds and interests. I feel sure that this experience, though perhaps difficult at times, will be of inestimable value to you throughout your lives. Most of all, you have the satisfaction of having started on a course of action which you carried through to a successful outcome. In other words, the joys that are rightly yours as a result of your years at Simmons far outweigh the natural sadness in making a change to a new way of life. Do not forget that we who remain at Simmons Col- lege shall follow the course of your lives with great interest. We hope that you will want to support and help your college in the years ahead. I regret that your class did not have the benefit of the new library build- ing which will open next fall, but I do want to remind you that it was the devotion and the hard work of the graduates of our College which made this greatly needed addition to our Campus possible. We shall be calling on you as graduates to help strengthen Simmons in other ways, so that your ties with us need never be broken. I salute the members of the Class of 1961, feeling sad that you are leaving, glad for our years together.
