FOREWORD This year marks the cightieth anniversary of Spelman College. The years between 1881 and 1961 have been years of tremendous growth and progress It is a far cry from the basement of Friendship Baptist Church and the temporary barracks left from the Civil War to the score of modern build- ings on our beautiful campus. From the dedicated people who have devoted their lives to Spelman throughout these eighty years, Spelman students have received a glorious heritage. Seldom do we pause, however, to look outside our own c01lege generation for illumination on the meaning of our life at SpeImanV The grade we made in geography: the inspiration received from a vesper service, the decoration of the plaques in Howe Hall, a stimu1ating cIaSS discussion of Oedipus Rex e these varied experiences and countless more are all parts of the picture. Reflections of 1961 is our attempt to bring together the memorable aspects of the past and present and fit the irregular pieces together as best we can.
