YESHIVA UNIVERSITY 500 WEST 185TH STREET NEW YORK, N. Y. 10033 To Our New Stern Alumnae: I offer you my warmest Mazal Tov greetings as you conclude your studies at Stern College for Women, and enter the ini- tial phases of Life after Stern. You are fortunate to have been at Stern during a period of academic growth and intellectual excitement. The improve- ments at Stern during the past three or four years are by now sufficiently well known and well documented to require no further elaboration. But it is good to celebrate creative achievements, and so to inspire each other towards even greater accomplishments in the future. May your life after Stern be one in which the Torah and the Madda which you have learned here at Stern will succeed in transforming your own personal lives, in forming your careers, and enhancing your homes and families. You will always be cherished by us — your alma mater, the faculties, the administration — and you will always be welcome to come back home to visit, reminisce, advise, and help. May Hashem be with you in all your undertakings! Cordially yours, President

STERN COLLEGE FOR WOMEN YESHIVA UNIVERSITY 245 LMir»BtonAv»no« N»w York, NY. 10016 (212)481-0587 These days, attending a college has become essen- tially commonplace and without great signifi- cance. A typical student might transfer from school to school without developing roots or edu- cational coherence. This description does not fit the Stern College woman. More often than not, your having chosen this college represents the logical next step in a clear educational plan — to study in depth the pre- cious heritage of the Jewish people and to build bridges between that heritage and Western civil- ization. This is a tall order and really requires much more than four years of study. For precisely this reason our curricula have placed enormous em- phasis on the development of skills needed for a life-time of learning. The Class of 1984 takes with it the respect and friendship of the entire Stern College community. We trust that in the years ahead, as you build fam- ilies, develop careers, and exercise community leadership, you will look back warmly on your ex- perience here. On behalf of the faculty and staff I wish you great success. May you go from strength to strength in all your undertakings. CiJc ' V
