Gwendolyn Crawford Elliott came to the University of Delaware as the Dean of Women at a time when great changes were being made. The Women ' s College no longer existed as a separate entity, and the rules which had governed the women had to be modified to fit the new situation. From this chaos she created a unified body. The old spirit was not lost, but it was enhanced by a new progressive outlook. Mrs. Elliott was cognizant of the problems of youth today, and she used this knowledge in formulating her policy. Her door was always open to those who wished to come in and talk with her. Through her understanding and experience we found the solution to personal as well as academic problems. She was more than a Dean of Women — she was a friend. Those of us who knew her find ourselves richer for this contact. Although Mrs. Elliott was here for only two and one-half years, the results of her integrity, compassion, ©ii®a(e a®s and understanding will not be erased. She is still an integral part of the University of Delaware. It is with deep appreciation and gratitude that our Staff, on behalf of the Class of Nineteen Forty-nine, dedicates the Blue Hen to Mrs. Randall Elliott. It is fitting that those who entered here four years ago should desire to be together again on leaving.
