DEDICATION Miss Marguerite Wynne-Roberts, in her ten years as Assistant Dean of Jackson College, has been a loyal friend and devoted advisor to both the men and the women of Tufts University. With respect and admira¬ tion, the Class of 1965 proudly dedicates their Jumbo Book to Miss Wynne-Roberts. After being graduated with a B.S. in Physical Education from Arnold College, Miss Wynne-Roberts studied dance in England and taught at the Chelsea Polytechnic School and the Bedford School of Dance. Returning to the United States, she taught physical education in a private girls school in West Virginia and later at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. There, she was appointed Assistant Dean of Women under Dean Katerine Jeff¬ ers. In 1954, Miss Wynne-Roberts accompanied Miss Jeffers to Jackson College. Since her arrival at Tufts, Miss Wynne-Roberts has shown a warmth and friendliness that has en¬ deared her to all students. With the delicate gestures of a graceful dancer, she has performed her job with sincerity and understanding. Recognizing the ad¬ vantages that Jackson girls enjoy by being, on the one hand, a small girls school, and on the other, a part of a large, coeducational university, she too en¬ joys “working with men as well as women.” Miss Wynne-Roberts expresses her belief that the school should be a “warm and friendly, homey place” in her beautiful floral arrangements. Her work with the Calendar Office and her help at the many University social functions are but small indications of her love for the college community. We remember Election night when she made cocoa for us all; the Christmas party when she prepared coffee before most of us had arisen; and, most of all, the thoughtful ear she has lent us when we have had need to talk. We, in dedicating our yearbook, wish to show our respect and appreciation to Miss Wynne-Roberts for her invaluable contributions in fulfilling her own main interest—“making Tufts and Jackson a better place—making them, the best.” 5

ALONG THE ROW The bell rang from the Chapel while we walked. Oh, where are autumn days and nights like these! I showed my friend the tower above the hill, And Capen Path, Ballou between the trees. A gate in the fence showed faintly in the dusk. In East and West the lights began to shine. A group of men passed by and called, “Hullo —” My heart sang, and I thought, “My college — mine!’ 9 The Row in autumn twilight! Tall dark trees Leaned kindly over us. We talked of games, But I remembered old familiar friends, And I was silent, thinking of old names. The men who walked the Row before my time Were by my side, good ghosts my thought awoke — While I must show my friend the tennis court, The newest hall for men, the gym. He spoke: “How you must love this place!” My heart stood still And ached to think how much I love this Hill. John Holmes
