Copyright, 1931 by Henrietta H. Brannon Editor-in-Chief Myra F. Le Sourd Business Manager the: Le;genda WELLESLEY COLLEGE Edith Souther Tufts In 1880, when Wellesley was but five years old, two girls came from Dover, New Hampshire, to enter the freshman class. They were Edith Souther Tufts and Mary Hale Young, college room-mates for four years and life-long friends. From Miss Young we learn how Miss Tufts, presi- dent of ' 84 since her senior year, has been the best loved member of the class, the center of its reunions and for many years hostess to her college friends who have come back to Wellesley. Since 1885, when she received her B.A. in Music, Miss Tufts has spent the greater part of her time here. She was a teacher at Dana Hall from 1885 to 1898 and in 1893-94 an instructor in Greek at the college. She received her M.A. at Yale in 1895 and from 1898 until 1900 taught at the Norwich Free Academy. In 1902-03 she was again an instructor in Greek at Wellesley and in 1903 became registrar, keeping her position as instructor. She became Dean of Residence in 1919 and retired in 1930. Miss Tufts has the honorary degree of LL.D. from the University of New Hampshire. Mr. and Mrs. Durant were still hving when Miss Tufts came to college. She has known all six presidents and has been in the midst of the many changes which have taken place. Beloved by students in every class, she was made honorary member of the class of 1911. Our first memories of Miss Tufts are of her little talk at Barn Recep- tion that first week of Freshman year and of tradition nights in the Vil when she came to tell us stories of old College Hall. At Eliot, she would say, ' Tm sure Miss Young remembers . . . and Miss Young would return, Why, Edith Tufts, you know youVe remembering things that never happened in the world! But Miss Young says that Miss Tufts ' memory is really remarkable. Gradually we came to know her as a gentle guide in the little diffi- culties of our first years, as a gracious hostess at Tower Court and as a person whose presence brought sweetness and light to any gathering. To us she is the symbol of all that is fine in Wellesley. Miss Tufts has gone back now to the old house in Dover where her father and mother began housekeeping, and there, in remodelling and redecorating, she finds work for hands that cannot be idle. There she is hostess to her friends, among them the many Wellesley people who miss her here and find little visits with her happy and inspiring. r To Edith Souther Tupts We Dedicate the 1931 Legenda FOREWORD We, the class of 1931, welcome this long- awaited year with a realization of its signifl cance not only to us hut to those who have plann ed and iuor ed so long for the new Wellesley symbolized b the spire on the hill. Years of change and disaster, of renewed zeal and firm endeavor have ensued since the first days of old College Hall, in 1875. J ow, in 1931, luith the completion of this beautiful structure, we see a Wellesle y whose face is steadily becoming a perfect expression of her changeless spirit. yr-u-L:[J- II -fix !

The ideal is of the highest learning in full harmony with the noblest soul, grand by every charm of culture, useful and beautiful because useful; feminine purity ind delicacy and refinement giving their luster and their power to thef ' j ipst absolute science — woman learned without infidelity and wise without conceit, the crowned queen of the world by right of that Knowl ' dgje which is Power, and that Beauty which is Truth. 1 J We wish to express the gratitude of the college to those who have made possible our reconstruction program, especially to Mrs. Matthew Astor V il s and Colonel Edward H.

So thought the arriving class of ' 32 in 1928, as it piled into Pierce Arrow taxis, marvelling the while at the Wellesley miracle of large-scale transportation. Juniors now, going on seniors, we still remember our growing pains, experienced in the first bewildered days at Wellesley. We spent those days learning highways and byways, and Wellesley ways and rules. Afterwards we settled down to making friends. We heard from revered upper-classmen that our class was the best-looking yet, and from others that we looked like babes. Privately we decided that the class of ' 32 was going to get along. The versatility of the class was apparent from the start, as was its friendliness. Each college activity had its enthusiastic supporters among our members, while the class as a whole enjoyed all the traditional events: step ' singing, with Libby Brackett leading. Barn productions, in which our more talented members soon appeared — Betty Keith, Vivian Grady, Janet Rosenthal and the rest — serenades, sophomore tea-dance. Field Days. Even going over the line might have been classed as one of our activities. When the old order — supply the inevitable — after spring vacation we did our best to keep the Wellesley tea-rooms ha2;y, and to shatter their whilom peace with our chatter. That spring, too, a part of the college that we had not known was revealed to us in the glamour of our first Float Night and in the bright pageantry of Tree Day. We returned to college sophomore year, world-weary and self- confident, only to discover that we knew even less than before. Baffled by the Hebrew prophets, subject to weekly attacks of stage-fright at Matthison House, we almost envied the class of ' 33 — academically. We did learn during the year to recite loudly. Competition with riveters and stone- workers taught us that. Lib Reynolds and Kelly Leonard piloted us safely through the year, while Mary Liz, Wheeler did us proud in C G. Athletic honors were upheld by Janet Smith, Molly Smith and Alice Rigby, who walked away with all the tennis championships. Last fall — upper-classmen! The heartbreaking note about senior cars is almost forgotten, in spite of long tramps with senior friends in snow and mud and rain. Our health, it seems, was not damaged, for we won both the Fall Field Day Competition and the Winter Carnival Events. We have complained all year that we never really worked before, but we managed to live through mid-years and to exist somehow until Junior Prom. With Libby Kaiser as class president and Mary Mac Norton as Prom Chairman, it was bound to go off as beautifully as it did. But next year we ' ll be seniors. How calmly we glide into the port of Age!

Johntz Song Leader Mary Elizabeth Anderson | Factotums M. Eleanor Poland ( One Hundred Fifteen -J CLASS OF NINETEEN THIRTY-THREE It was a happy hour when the puffy old 7:30 from Boston chugged out of Wellesley, leaving behind on the station platform the first group of 1933. We were not like the proverbial freshmen, forlorn, as we stood there. And while for a stranger it might have been difficult to notice any possibilities in these first arrivals, to ourselves we were wonderful. With the beginning of classes, however, we were not unlike our predecessors, and in spite of the small bit of excusable conceit we felt in having a president. Judiciary member and Senate representative all our own — and Best, Atwood and Brastow at that — we were properly impressed by the upperclassmen, the comp teachers and the senior cars. With Fame Anderson leading our songs at step-singing, the pride hinted at on the station platform in September rose to unprecedented heights. In November we acquired the last of the requisites of a full- fledged class, the rest of our officers. Peggy Hull was vice-president; Lee Maddox and Muffy Broomell, secretaries; Sally Landers, treasurer; Marcia Heald, Billie Creed and Cleo Higgins, executives; and Eileen Sparrow and Jo Day, factotums. A httle awed but nevertheless confident, we faced our first set of college exams. With that ordeal over and a good record behind us, we settled down seriously to the making of history. Barn quickly recogni2;ed the talents of such people as Finny Hirsch, talents so beautifully exhibited in Spring Informals. A. A. saw the necessity of having such athletes as Fu2;2;y Price, Jane Mapes, Betty Roche, Dorothy Heintz, and Ellie Wilder on varsities. We won the Indoor Gym Meet! C. A. sent many of us to conferences, where we sat mute and wished to goodness we had the nerve to say something, and C. G. began training us for vague secretaryships and vice-presidencies . We showed our first spark of real initiative at the Sophomore-Freshman Serenade when we welcomed the youngsters with a combination party- serenade, including dancing, food and entertainment at Alumnae. More hockey, more Barn, more of those alluring secretaryships (actually in our possession now) made us think we were pretty capable, yet made us realize, too, how far a class team is from a varsity, a secretary- ship from a presidency. We needs must work for the glory that is our due. So we ' ve settled down. WeVe put on the shelf all childish thoughts and actions — to be taken down only outside of business hours and not to be displayed before seniors — or freshmen. We ' ve begun to listen to people when they talk about generals; we ' ve applied for Vil Junior offices; we ' ve graduated to Philosophy and Bible 102; we ' ve started to think about numbers and rooms for next year; we are sophomores meditating on juniority.

Would we ever get to distinguish them and to associate all three correctly? Would we ever get to know these people? Although the task seemed ridiculously impossible, it was but a short time till bridge games were formed, groups of three and four went down to the Vil for ice cream and a cigarette, and each one of us found her place with her own friends. Despite many times when the days seemed long and lack of something to do brought homesickness, this first week, before campus became a place of terror full of strange faces, hastened the metamorphosis of single lonely girls far from home into groups happy and definitely part of the Freshman Class. For our benefit, speeches were given every morning on some phase of college life or philosophy, tours were organi2;ed to acquaint us with our new surroundings, receptions to introduce us to each other and, most welcome of all, a Varicoarse Veined Vaudeville , and a kitchen tragedy were produced to amuse us; ' ' - i These dramatic efforts were not in vain, for not only did the Freshman Class show its appreciation, but it has proved itself worthy of the notice given it. Our talent has already been recogni2,ed by Barn. A third of the parts in Fall Informals were given to freshmen, namely, Adra Armitage, Eli?,abeth Auld, Bernice Bernstein, Marie Kass, Marian Johnson and Eleanor Washington. Nor is acting the only field in which we are prominent. Over half the new Barn committee members are of the class of ' 34 and the ' N.ews editorial board includes Rose Clymer, Cynthia Dudley and Eliz,abeth Smith. Furthermore, the class holds several records. We are the last freshman class to register in the old Ad. building; we are the first required to maintain a C average in order to stay off pro (and yet the number of those on pro is but shghtly greater than that of last year); and we are probably the only freshman class that has really enjoyed the Sophomore Prom — thanks to the class of ' 3 3. We are still but freshmen; having achieved such heights now, where will we be as seniors?

Trask, ' 32 Treasurer One Hundred 7wenty-one 3 COLLEGE GOVERNMENT College Government administration has witnessed many changes during our foui years of college, chiefly in attempts to expand our privileges with most careful regard both for liberty and order. The 1930 ' 31 ofiBcers, however, have inaugurated little in the way of liberties; in fact, the freshmen have been more limited (by two over- nights) during the year. A certain broadening of the outlook of the organization has been attempted by sending a member from College Government to the Detroit Conference, the delegation to which was more directly sponsored by Christian Association. Even more important was the sending of Edith Kennelly as a delegate to the Geneva Conference. Both national and international student opinion has thus been introduced to College Gov- ernment. But the emphasis of the last year has been upon making College Government organization more efficient and equalizing, as far as is consistent with efficiency, the responsibilities lying on the shoulders of each of the members of College Government and of the college organizations over which College Government has jurisdiction Investigation has been made of weekly and monthly meetings of various organizations for the purpose of grouping them more advantageously so that individuals will not find two meetings which they must attend conflicting and also so that meetings will not be held on more evenings than are necessary. With the same end in view, that of ever increasing efficiency, searching investi gation of the offices in all the student organizations of the college has been held and the offices have been repointed with the time actually put in by the officers as a basis for the number of points assigned. It is hoped that this will equalize the amount of responsibility laid upon individuals and will provide opportunity for more students to take part in college activities. Most important of all, the class of 1931 has witnessed the passing of old Judiciary and the appearance of the Superior Court and the District Courts. The Superior Court takes the place of Judiciary but the District Courts, the real new arrivals, were established to handle minor cases, in the belief that it is not just to the students to send them before a Superior Court for trivial offences and that it detracts from the dignity and competence of the Superior Court to be handling an unnecessary number of minor cases. This organization gives more responsibility to the House Presidents and Village Juniors and removes part of the burden from the Superior Court. It is much to the credit of the present officers of College Government that, find- ing the most ardent cries for improvement of rules temporarily quieted, the organiza- tion has turned to examine and reform its machinery. It is to be hoped that College Government, in its proceedings this year, has amply lived up to the belief that its responsibilities would make for growth in character and power, and promote loyalty to the best interests of the college.

General Secretary One Hundred Twenty-five CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION Christian Association is as modern as it is old. With the passing of years, certain customs, proving antedated, are discarded and more suitable innova ' tions take their place, while other tried and established programs, worthy of permanent apphcation, are carried on according to the wisdom and tradi ' tion of the Association. Christian Association has long been the special guardian of Freshmen, providing big sisters to write them notes of welcome, Ask Mes to answer their tremulous enquiries on arrival, a Freshman Bible, a vaudeville show, a Get ' Acquainted Tea, and half the Christian Association ' CoUege Govern ' ment Reception. Freshman Wednesday evening religious meetings, pre ' viously held throughout the year in Eliot House, have been changed to the different Freshman dining-rooms, and seniors as well as faculty and out ' siders are now asked to lead. On Sunday afternoons, a Freshman Council of about six girls visits the Children ' s Convalescent Home in WeUesley Hills. Christian Association ' s home charity includes parties and a library for the college maids; and this year has provided a much appreciated typewriter for their general use. Community interest is stimulated by Sunday college vespers to be from now on in all the Society Houses and open to students, faculty and outsiders. Reading Groups centering on subjects of current importance meet at regular intervals. The Week of Prayer, changed to Religious Empha sis Week, has for this year ' s topic Changing Standards. Fundamentally, Christian Association is endeavoring to understand and appreciate the present tenor of thought. The two-day drive for Unemploy ment relief brought in over $1,900. One of the most popular elements of Christian Association is the out ' side Social Service, work in Boston settlement houses, hospitals and indus ' trial homes. This year, students attended Executive Board and Open Shop meetings making an intimate study of Trade Unionism, which study may lead to — who knows? The Personnel Bureau has recently cast an addi ' tional significance over this social service work by keeping records of the individual workers for future reference. Christian Association links WeUesley with other colleges through the Poland Springs Conference for New England Colleges, through the Silver Bay Conference, and through the new conference of Connecticut Valley colleges at Northfield. National and international relations are established through the International Committee and the Y. W. C. A. In the fall of 1930, student and faculty representatives gathered at four Commission Meetings to discuss Campus Problems. During Christmas vacation, com ' mission members attended a delegation of all the leading colleges and uni ' versities of the country held at Detroit. We expect this national inter ' change of viewpoint to broaden the collegiate hori2;on and strengthen the principles of progress and virtue for which Christian Association stands.

Remembering Janet McLellan ' s bass voice. As Shyloc rose Norma, with talent most rare, The proud boast of ' 30; — we cannot forbear To bless Germany and the doctor who came And gave Mrs. Farber to thirty-one ' s fame. To list all her triumphs were burdensome task — We give her green laurels. What more can one ask? Now it should not be hard for you to surmise on What star swift arose on our sophomore horizon. ' Twas a Douglas, named Teddy, with proud, high white brow — Those who saw dress rehearsal may still recall how By a draft from the wings and a candle flame ' s wisp Our Teddy was early near burned to a crisp! But Beauty, she saved her! Miss Julia Van Gorder ' s Calm head and quick hands soon restored all to order. With Arms and the Man Teddy also found fame. And Amherst soon proved the play was not ill-named. Paris claimed Ted a year. We sore missed her, but still She returned to play Bice with marvellous skill. We bow to her talent, and dare to presage That she ' ll find footlights elsewhere than Barnswallows ' stage.

Here endeth the drama of one nine three one, Omitting the Shrew which is not yet begun And leaving Op ' retta behind, not before us, For our songsters were weak — though some made the chorus. But let four more lines be writ in the name Of those who have labored for Barn without fame — The committees, the finance, the coaching — friends, please Forget not to mention the merit of these. And lastly in reverence we doff low our hat To Thayer (Virginia) and Patterson (Pat).

One Hundred Thirty-seven MUSIC The choir, with a membership of over one hundred, is one of the few col ' lege choirs in the country which sing both glee club and choral music. It has had many distinguished predecessors, among them being the Glee Clubs of 1889-99, a Zeta Alpha quartet, the Phi Sigma sextet and a college chorus. In 1900, at President Ha2,ard ' s suggestion, a college choir was established which has become increasingly important in the musical life of the college. Professor Hamilton C Macdougall was its first director. Miss Hazard ' s interest is still manifested by her gift each year of the senior choir pins which she herself designed. Under the direction of Maurice C. Kirkpatrick, Lecturer in Music, Organist and Choir Director, the choir program this year includes three musical vesper services, special Christmas and Easter vespers, combined con- certs with the Amherst and Yale Glee Clubs, a formal concert at New Haven, a program for the American Association of University Women in Boston and the usual Baccalaureate music. The Orchestra was organizied thirty years ago by Professor Macdougall and in spite of many handicaps and reverses, has held together ever since. Jacques Hoffmann, the present conductor, has worked to help make Orches ' tra a vital part of college life. In the last two years many changes have been made, the Constitution has been revised and Orchestra now seems to be on the road to success. Several innovations, such as harp solos and piano concertos, now appear on the program. By a gift of the Music department, several wind instruments, much needed, have been bought. The Orchestra gives an informal concert in the fall and a formal one in the spring. Mr. Hoffmann and the members of the Orchestra deserve the full support of the college.

One Hundred Forty-jive L K LETTERS After living a year on a corridor inhabited by all three editors, the head of Press Board and their associates, we find it difficult to get a perspective on life among the literati. We are told that said corridor is the noisiest in Tower, a fact which may or may not have a bearing on the subject. This freedom of self-expression, however, does help one follow the fortunes of the various publications. The Saturday night typewriters clicking out editori ' als, the Sunday morning exodus of half the corridor to the Dugout, the sticky bits of the Lit Review dummy flying out the door when a window is opened, the Legenda mounting boards being lugged up and down by night and by day and the tales of the unruly boys from the Boston papers mean atmosphere, if confusion. Our new homes in the Hetty H. R. Green are impressive, and we turn our keys with pride, but the News Hound was sorry to say goodbye to the chapel pipes and Press Board to the creaky little office where thumb tacks didn ' t matter. In spite of the spacious office now provided, we cannot imagine Lit Review made up anywhere but on the floor, and Legenda, which has never had a home, will probably always be troubled with the wanderlust. We would be heartless and ungrateful if we did not dedicate one para- graph to the nurse of our first feeble efforts, the Twig. Who knows what blossoms of genius would have been nipped in the bud if the Twig had not existed? We are thankful to have known that purely freshman joy. Our work is almost ended and printed pages face us with some lines of which we are proud and some we wish we had not written. But on the whole it is a good game. Most of us are looking forward to ink-stained second fingers and nails ruined by typing long after Press Board and J ews, Lit Review and Legenda are handed down to future generations.

Barth, 1932 VoHeyball One Hundred Sixty-one i THE ATHLETIC CAREER OF ' 31 Eager to uphold Wellesley ' s athletic reputation, we entered as Freshmen in the fall of ' 27, only to be given yellow as our color. That in itself would daunt the boldest spirit — any spirit save that of the class of 1931. We proved it a groundless superstition. Humbly we must admit we set no unattainable records. We were defeated more frequently than we con- conquered. But we will not be forgotten. Fall Field Day found us young, bewildered and inexperienced. We lost, but five names were enrolled on the honorary varsities: Fisher Smith, Jay McKen2;ie and Lu Lynah, Hockey; Margot BeU, Basketball; Sue Andrews, Riding. Not bad for Freshmen — and the much heralded event of the day was that of the Andrews twins taking a jump together in perfect form. In the spring the field was wet, the outcome dark. We didn ' t place, but Track Varsity gained two more names, Ginny Macomber and Margot Bell. Our sophomore year found us at the zenith of our career. We won the day, including the class cups in Volleyball, Riding and Basketball and the Putting Contest Cup won by Pudge Levy. Our glory, moreover, was recorded for all time. The Fox Movietone men saw to that. Varsity lists included Kay Fee, Basketball; Pudge Levy and subs. Lib McClellan and Peg Breyer, Golf; Fisher Smith, Flo Harriman, Spud Kelly and sub. Jay McKen2;ie, Hockey; Bill Andrews and sub. Jean Adams, Riding; Eleanor Draper and sub. Brownie Brownson, Volleyball. That was the fall of the English Hockey game. On the Wellesley team that faced the invaders were Fisher Smith, Jean Herzberg, Flo Harriman, with subs. Shirley Eberth, Jay McKen2;ie and Spud Kelly. Hundreds witnessed the battle and Welles- ley was defeated only by superior skill. It is interesting to ' 31 that when the same English team met the All American Women ' s Hockey Team in Philadelphia, Lu Lynah played for America. Still inexperienced, we found the winter Gym Meet beyond our powers. Flo Harriman, however, made the Indoor Basketball Varsity and Margot Bell placed as sub. on the Gym Varsity. Spring Field Day, ' 29, also escaped us, but Varsity lists abounded with names of ' 31. Lou Bender, Flo Harriman, Lacrosse; Wiggle Lineberger, Betty Knode and sub. Myra Le Sourd, Tennis; Lou Conway, Ginny Felter and subs. Spud Kelly and Eleanor Parkhurst, Baseball; Ginny Macomber, Peg White, Margot Bell and subs. Kay Durant and Mim Stokes, Track; Eugenie WiUiams and sub. Jeanette Prutting, Crew; Isabel Weber won for us the Individual Archery Cup, and both the Track and Archery Class Cups went to ' 31. In dancing Chick Rose won Intermediate Honors, and Bethine Coe Final Honors. Fall Field Day of our Junior year found us, perhaps, resting too heavily 0ns Hundred Sixty-two f on our laurels, for we were completely vanquished. Only personal honors redeemed us. Varsity lists included Lou Schutz;, Jean Herzberg, Fisher Smith and Flo Harriman, Hockey; Kay Fee and sub. Margot Bell, Basket ' ball; Pudge Levy, Golf; Sue Andrews and subs. Bill Andrews and Jean Adams, Riding. Awards were numerous. Ws went to Flo Harriman and Fisher Smith, Hockey; Kay Fee and Margot Bell, Basketball; Pudge Levy, Golf; Jean Adams, Sue and Bill Andrews, Riding; Sue Andrews also carried off the Individual Riding Cup. In the winter Gym Meet we were disqualified, owing to the inability of four people to represent five. Flo Harriman, however, won a place on the Varsity. We held our heads higher. Warmer weather, apparently, was what we needed. Spring Field Day will write the class of ' 31 down in posterity. No, humbly we admit, we did not win, but look at our list of honors. Varsities: Lou Conway, Eleanor Parkhurst, Ethel White, and sub. Ginny Felter, Baseball; Wiggle Lineberger, Betty Knode and Lucie Locker, Tennis; Flo Harriman and Lou Bender, Lacrosse; Margot Bell, Ginny Macomber, Peg White, Catherine Mitchill, and sub. Mim Stokes, Track; Isabel Weber, Lillian Davenport, Archery. The awards were equall y as numerous. W ' s to Lou Conway, Spud Kelly, Eleanor Parkhurst and Ginny Felter, Baseball; Wiggle Line- berger, Tennis; Flo Harriman, Lacrosse; Margot Bell, Ginny Macomber, Peg White and Mim Stokes, Track; Isabel Weber, Archery; Marjorie Siskey, Eugenie WiUiams, and Peg Breyer, Crew. The Track Class Cup was awarded to 1931, and Individual Cups were awarded to Isabel Weber for Archery, Flo Harriman for Lacrosse, and Margot Bell for Track. Flo Harriman received the first bla2,er. The Fall of ' 30 found us sedate Seniors, too old, too sagacious, and too haunted by thoughts of the General to do anything except sit by while the Sophomores swept off all the honors. However, we still held our own in the awards. Varsities: Kay Fee, Basketball; Fisher Smith, Flo Harriman, Spud Kelly, and Jean Her2,berg, Hockey; Sue and Bill Andrews, Riding: Pudge Levy, Golf. W ' s went to Agnes Swift, Ruth Hosley, Sue and Bill Andrews, Riding; Kay Fee, Sheila Burton and Margot Bell, Basketball: Jean Herzberg, Fisher Smith and Flo Harriman, Hockey. The Individual Cup in Riding went to Bill Andrews, in Basketball to Kay Fee and in Golf to Pudge Levy. Lest we forget — ' 31 won in Crew for the first time in our brief but prodigious history. And for Terpsichorean ability we are proud to men- tion Bethine Coe and Betty Dixon as members of Orchesis, that holy of hohes among the more aesthetic. This, then, is our history, as yet unfinished. With spring still ahead of us, who knows but we may add new glory to the name of ' 31? One Hundred Sixty-three SISKEY. PRUTTING. HONE. RIDDLE.

T SOCIETIES It was but a year after Wellesley was founded that the societies had their beginning. Phi Sigma and Zeta Alpha were organi2;ed at the suggestion of Mr. Durant to help further the social life of the college and to pursue a definite line of work. In 1881 these societies were discontinued because of the feeling on the part of the Faculty that they interfered with the academic work of the members. Eight years later they were reorganiz,ed, and have continued to hold their position as centers of work and play in the college. At iirst both of the societies did literary work, but when their activities began to be duphcated by various Enghsh Literature and Compo ' sition courses each chose a special field. Phi Sigma studied the folk lore of various countries. Zeta Alpha confined its studies to the modern drama. Shakespeare Society was founded in April, 1877, when the London Society was three years old. The new society made connection with the older, and was for a time allied with it. From its beginning the work of the society has been a study of Shakespeare at regular meetings, terminating in the presentation of one of his plays at the end of the year. In May, 1889, the Art Society was granted a charter providing an opportunity for additional study of art, to offer a stimulus to scholarly work, and to promote good fellowship among the undergraduates. In 1894 this society adopted the name Tau Zeta Epsilon, and enlarged the scope of its activities to include music and literature as well as sculpture and painting. During their Freshman year the class of 1894 formed the Cottage Street Political Club which became a college organization in the fall of 1891 under the name of the Agora. The society was the result of a feeling among its charter members that women lacked knowledge of political questions. Its aim has always been to create an intelligent interest in the political ques ' tions of the day, and by free discussion of them to train its members to take an active and responsible position on all such questions. Alpha Kappa Chi was organi2,ed in the spring of 1892 under the name of the Classical Society, by which it was known until 1897. The society was for the purpose of furthering serious study of the classics. Member- ship was at first restricted to students of the classics; later eligibility was extended to students who were not majoring in Latin or Greek. The work of the society was then broadened to meet the new requirements — to in- terpret as simply and severely as possible the stories and myths of the Greeks into modern dramatic rendering, with the classic rules of drama retained so far as is congruous. Membership in the society is now restricted to Juniors and Seniors. The Central Committee, composed of six student members and a member of the Faculty, adjusts the list of applicants and the list of the girls whom the societies desire as members. Each society is restricted to a membership of thirty-five sirls. One Hundred Seventy-nine AGORA Officers Jean March President Louise Herzog Vice-President, Head of Wor!

' ' c , , ■ •m if t l ' i ' ,v T GLIMPSES OF THE PAST While steam shovels and giant trucks drowned out Shelly ' s lyrics and even the roar of the tumbrils of the Reign of Terror, while workmen clambered on the scaffolding far above, we were reminded of another exciting time, sixty years ago, when the first building on campus was in process of construction. The first stone of College Hall was laid on August 18, 1871, without cere- mony and without guests. Florence Con- verse writes: ' ' Mr. and Mrs. Henry Fowle Dur ant came up the hill on a sum- mer morning and with the help of work- men set the stone in place. A month later Mrs. Durant laid the corner-stone. Mr. Durant ' s eye was upon every detail, writes Miss Converse, ... he often took his lunch up to campus and ate it with the workmen. A girl who knew the Durants is quoted: Life was keyed high in Mr. Durant ' s home, and the keynote was Wellesley College. While the walls were rising he kept workmen ' s hours. Long before the family breakfast he was with the builders. At prayers I learned to hsten night and morning for the prayer for Wellesley — sometimes simply an earnest ' Bless Thy college. ' We sat on chairs wonderful in their variety, but all on trial for the ease and rest of Wellesley, and who can count the stairways Mrs. Durant went up to find the least toilsome steps for Wellesley feet. Night did not bring rest, only a change of work. . . . Devotion and consecration I had seen before, and sacrifice and self-forgetting, but never anything like the relentless toil of those two who toiled not for themselves. On September 8, 1875, the college welcomed three hundred and fourteen students, having turned away two hundred applicants because of A group of students in ' 8 1 MISS TUFTS and MISS MARY HALE YOUNG seated in center One Hundred hlinety ' jive J lack of room. There was a herd of Jersey cows grazing in the meadow that day, as the carriages drove up Washington Street, past East Lodge and up the avenue of young elms and purple beeches. An alumna writes: The wooden bedsteads with their wooden slats, of vivid memory, the wardrobes, so much more hospitable than the two hooks on the door, which Matthew Vassar vouchsafed to his protegees, the high, commodious bureaus, with their ' scant ' glass of fashion, are all endeared to us by long assocation, and by our straining endeavors to rearrange them in our rooms, without the help of man. There are many undimmed memories of those first days — of the brass dinner-bell secured at the last minute and rung at six o ' clock the following morning by two students who walked through all the corridors, of the examinations which showed that only thirty of the three hundred and fourteen could begin college work, of the tennis set from England and Mr. Durant ' s difficulty in persuading many of the students to take such very violent exercise. The Sunday schedule in 1876 was this: Rising Bell 7:00 Breakfast 7:45 Silent Hour 9:30 Bible Class 9:45 Church 11:00 Dinner 1:00 Bed Prayer Meeting 5:00 Supper 5:30 Section Prayer Meeting 7:30 Once a Month Missionary Prayer Meeting 8:00 Silent Hour 9:00 9:30 THE CREW OF THE ARGO. 1876 One Hundred Tsjinetji-six ui: T CLASS BASKETBALL TEAM. ' 98 The personality of the founder impressed itself on everyone connected with the school and for a long time his ideas on education formed the stand ' ard of action, but, inevitably, there was a gradual expression of opinion by faculty and students. Succeeding presidents and professors made important changes, and in 1876 the students took their first step toward self govern- ment by passing a law against cheating. In 1881 came the Courant, WeUeS ' ley ' s first periodical, in which college questions were freely discussed. There were faculty-student conferences on the Magazine, the Legenda, Ath- letics and the Junior Prom. In 1901, especiall y, there was much discussion, oral and written, of Student Government. There were mass meetings and meetings of faculty and student committees. Miss Pendleton, then secretary of the College and chairman of the faculty committee, was one of Student Government ' s most convinced and able champions. On June 7, 1901, the official organization was effected and Frances L. Hughes, 1902, elected as first president. The formation of Christian Association in 1884, of the first Athletic Association m 1896-1897 and of Barn m 1897, the first Tree Day in 1877 and the beginnings of the Legenda in 1889, of the Magazine in 1892 and of the Press Board in 1912 were highlights, but to know what they meant to the students of those days one must dip into the old Courants, Preludes, T ewses, Magazines and Legendas. Life for most Wellesley girls then meant campus activities, and changes were vitally interest:ng to the individual student. w One Hundred T inetyseven - nwm I iyrttn ac J ' m « m v- Members of ' 86 MISS PENDLETON st.inding, left Of voluminous gym suits and thick white turtlcneck sweaters, of crews chosen as much for their abihty to sing as to row, of Legenda pictures in which the Hterary editor, in leg ' o ' ' mutton sleeves, reclined on one elbow on the floor, with her head in the wastebasket — of these visible witness may be found only on the Wellesley shelves in the Libe, in the gallery at Alumnae and in a few private treasuries. But they are as much a part of our Wellesley as we. A rainy afternoon in the den at Phi Sigma brought ghosts of the past to walk on Tupelo again and rewarded our search through old Legendas with gems such as these: P endleton R eally E ats F reshmen At C ertain Epochs (1903) DON ' T wear a blouse with a capacity of more than two bushels or carry yourself at an angle greater than 35 ' .

Dear Sir: Your little note was received, and I wish to say in reply that while I sincerely desire to pay the bill of forty-three cents, which, as you say, has been on your books since November, 1900, yet at present it seems unfeasible. Painful as it is for me to own it, I hesitate to ask again any of my neighbors, and so must wait until my cheque comes from home. I was to have it at Easter to buy my Commencement gown, and meet your demands, but as it has not arrived I contemplate wearing my Trecday gown, in which I have twice appeared as Ophelia and once as a little child on May Day, and relying on your further clemency. Hoping my awkward situation will appeal to you effectually, I remain Your friend, Jane S.

(1908) THE GLEE CLUB IN ' 96 One Hundred TvJinety-niTie I ' ! 1 Alice Vinton Waite RETIREMENTS As WE go to press, news reaches us that in June, 1932, Dean Ahce Vinton Waite is to retire with the honorary title of dean emeritus. Miss Waite has served Wellesley for thirty-live years. In 1896, under the presidency of Mrs. Julia J. Irvine, she came here as an instructor in English. She had received her early education in Vermont, her B.A. degree from Smith in 1886 and her M.A. in 1894 after graduate study at Yale under Professors T. R. Lounsbury and A. S. Cook. In 1903 she became Associate Professor and in 1911 Professor of English. Miss Waite was appointed Dean of the College in 1913, and until two years ago has taught her popular course in modern drama. Next year she is to have leave of absence and will travel in Europe. Two Hundred r The class of 1931 is happy to have known the two deans who are now retiring after years of distinguished service. Miss Waite was a pioneer in education for women and has kept in step with its development. She is one of the strongest links between Wellesley past and present, having witnessed its growth from seven hundred students in 1896 to its present enrollment of fifteen hundred and fifty. Although none of us could take Miss Waite ' s course in the drama, her wit is traditional, and occasional meetings with her have left memories of twinkling eyes, quick understanding and a strong and charming personahty. We are sorry that the girls who come next year to find the little old Ad building gone will never know the smile and the active step which brightened its halls nor the spirit which animated so many plans and so much work for Wellesley. We recall with pleasure and gratitude three veteran professors who retired in the spring of 1930 after many years spent in the service of Wellesley : Alice Van Vachten Brown, M.A., Professor of Art, 1897-1930. Margaret Hastings Jackson, M.A., member of the Italian Department since 1890, Associate Professor of Italian and curator of the Frances Pear- sons Phmpton Library of Italian Literature, 19044910, and Professor and Curator, 19104930. Margaret Sherwood, A.B., Ph.D., L.H.D., member of the English Department since 1889, Associate Professor of English Literature, 1898 ' 1912, and Professor, 19124930. ' Two Hundred One 1 H % Vii THE POETRY ANTHOLOGY OF 1931 (Being a Brief History of the Senior Class Done into Abominably Bad Verse, or So She Says, by that Blithe Bard, Mousie Stix.) FRESHMAN FOIBLES « ' Hear the loud alarum bells, Brazen bells! ' :| What a tale of ignorance their message tells. f|j When a freshman, not too bi ' ight. Mailed a letter in the night — Knowing only English locks. Poor dear, she mistook the box — Oh, the clanging and the jangling of those bells! At Noanett, in feverish fret, the Freshmen gathered were When an outpost, like a frightened hare, came in and made a stir. Sophomores m the hall I see, I have counted fiftythree! Spake one: WeVe ovei- ' powered! But cried Chapman: No, you coward! We must fly and tight them quick. Lest with soap smells we grow sick. We must take them unawares. We must throw them down the stairs! And the sun came up, and the moon went down, and gone was the autumn night. But never a moment stopped the fray of the Freshman- Sophomore fight. Girl after girl, both broad and tall, the Sophomore leaders came — Girl after girl the valiant Sze flung down to the floor in shame. For some were crippled, and some were bruised, and the banisters were no more — God of class fights, was there ever a fight like this in the world before? Oh, well sing a little ditty Of a girl who thought committee Work in Barn Association would be fun. So with manner blithe and hearty She approached Maggie McCarthy Trying out for a committee? And which one? Two Hundred Three saucscar£srUKi. .;M3 SOPHOMORE SALLIES Break! Break! Break! The Wilder brickwork down — And I would that my heart could utter The thoughts that my tears have drowned. Oh, well for the Shafer girl, Who loves to play golf in the halls; Oh, well for the Severance lass. Who smiles at the bleak gray walls. And the Gothic tower raises Its peak to the rose-streaked dawn — But oh for the space of those Wilder rooms. And the light of the sun that is gone! Break! Break! Break! Till there stands not a single trace! But the French toast crisp and the salads green Will I find in no other place. Where, oh where are the pretty sophomores. Where, oh where are the jolly sophomores. Where, oh where are the cute, young sophomores. Lost, lost from the Senior Class? They went out on their roll calls — C ' s, They went out on their papers — D ' s, They went out on their qui2;2;es — E ' s, Lost, lost from the Senior Class. Hundred Five r I would not smoke in Alumnae Hall Where the college girls stomp by, The girls who are glad and the girls who are sad, As glad and as sad as I. I would not smoke in Alumnae Room, Where the air is thick and blue, I would take my book to a quiet nook For I have much work to do. I would not smoke in the tea-room (French) For the chairs are too hard for ease; And the bridge crowd, too, is a noisy crew Who scoff at the grades of D ' s. I would not smoke in the room downstairs. Where gathers the common rabble, I would take my book to a quiet nook For I have no time to gabble. I would not smoke on the terrace wide For gone is the summer sun — And the tales loud told, and the stones ice cold Kill work that must needs be done. I would not smoke in the library For a placard is on the door — I must take my book to a quiet nook Not Above the Ballroom Floor. I would not smoke on the stairways white For I want a B. A. in June, And I cannot think sense when girls commence To shriek and some to croon. I would take my book to some quiet nook Where there is no noise at all. But on Wellesley ' s face, there is no such place — So I go to Alumnae Hall. ' voo Hunired. Sstve-a JUNIOR JINGLES On every little hill there lie Collegiate-Gothic buildings high That bind the campus with the sky, And twixt them all, a road runs by Into the town of Wellesley. And up and down the Juniors go. Gazing where the pine trees grow Down to Hathaway below, Down into the Village. Baked beans come and endeth never, Caper sauce goes on forever, But the girl who is more clever Goes down to the Village. There the steaks are Seiler ' s pride, Specials in the Dragon hide. And Inn teas are not denied, Down within the Village. Close by Davis ' , placard-hailed, Exhibitions they have trailed, Lack of funds they loud-bewailed — In the town of Wellesley. Stuart ' s to some must be the goal. Others revel at the Hole, While the literary soul Goes to Hathaway. ' m Two Hundred Tvjine Here we live by night and day, Moments in the Vil are gay, Bhght is on us it we stay Safe upon the campus. We know not what the movies be. And yet we go there steadily. And little other care have we — The Juniors blithe of Wellesley. Sometimes a sombre Senior ' s voice Cries: Now, while you may, rejoice! Next year you will have no choice Studying up for Generals! So to the Vil they gaily go. And cancel what they do not know, Miss Smith, please put us not on pro! Cry the gay young Juniors. Who are these and what is here? And have we few classmates this year? Some girls have flunked out, my dear! And they crossed themselves for fear. They who once were Juniors. But Pres. Pen mused a little space, And said: There ' s time to keep your place, This year you ' ll have no cars to race. You who once were Juniors. Two Hundred Eleven SENIOR SIMPLICITIES Where are the bikes of our Freshmen year? Left in the cellars — a rusty mess. Where are the ice skates we once held dear When the lake fro2;e in a sheet of glass? Where are the horses we loved to ride When the hills glowed with spring ' s soft green grass? Where are the skis of our sophomore pride? But where are the cars of the Senior Class? Girl, hfe is short and college long. And spring will come and the winter pass — Keep only this for your unsung song. But where are the cars of the Senior Class? I met a simple Wellesley lass, Her face was blank to see. She wore sport shoes and used no rouge — She was a trial to me. And where are all your other friends? Where have your classmates run? With smile of pride, the maid replied: We ' re 1931. Yet some of you were sent back home. And some flunked out on grades. And some have married stalwart men, And some have taken trades. I meet them. Miss, in Boston town. In New York we have fun.

Sapphire blue in the autumn frost — When I no more may hear your pines Sing their sad music, storm ' wind tossed — After I care not to curse your ways — Dried ' up learning and petty rules — There will be time for my songs of praise Freed from the fetters imposed by schools. Then I will tell you the tears I cried To leave your beauty of starlit lake. Then I will scatter the clothes of pride Covering now my heart ' s slow ache. Never think, since my lips are still, I can leave friends I have found with you- Never believe that your mist ' hung hill Did not fashion the dreams I knew. Know only this: that my voice was quick To tell you of all the things I blamed. Know that, though silent, my heart is sick. Weighing the balance, I am ashamed. Two Hundred Thirteen MAY DAY Nineteen thirtvone marks the end of a tradition. May Day morning is still to be celebrated by hoop ' rolling and the formation of the numerals on the hill, but the crowning of the May Queen and the afternoon festivi ' ties are gone. It is not that we are outgrowing simple pleasures, but that the pageantry of May Day was becoming more and more formal and its spontaneity would soon have been lost. It is amusing to look back at the May Days in College Hall, when the seniors got out at six in the morning with pails and mops to scrub and decorate the statues in the corridor. One of these, the statue of Harriet Martineau, dubbed by the girls Aunt Harriet, was always decked on May Day with garlands or odd articles of clothing. The May Day on which Ginny was crowned queen is, of course, memc rable to ' 31. Our spirit that day cannot be denied. The County Fair at which Fran Eldredge was crowned and the fair at Nottingham, with El Best the center of attraction, bade farewell to May Day with appropriate gayety. We can still look forward to the thrill of the race down Tower Court Hill and wonder which of us will follow the fleet footsteps of Anne Porter, ' 28, Emily Rockwood, ' 29, and Louise Schmidt, ' 30. We are sorry that Legenda goes to press too soon to include the name of our first bride. Two Hundred Fifteen FLOAT NIGHT Reminiscent of the days when the class crews rowed on the lake at sunset, singing, in flat-bottomed boats, we celebrate Float Night again this year. Inspired by the Floats of three years past, in which the Arabian Afights, Alice in ' Wonderland and the J ihelungenlied were beautifully portrayed, the class of ' 3 1 presents Idylls of the King. The change of date to May fifteenth this year may mean an audience shivering more than usual, but at any rate the committee has provided something to iill the gap between the races and the floats. At the time of going to press the chairman cannot give exact plans for the event. The class of ' 3 1 and the three seniors in charge are grateful to those members of the other classes who have made Float Night possible. The heads of all the sub-committees and those who have made the floats are from 32, ' 33 and ' 34.

The first was based on an Idyll of Theocritus about the return of Adonis, and this Grecian pageant was followed the next year by a portrayal of Marco Polo ' s advehtures in the glamorous court of Kubla Khan. With 1930 came a reaction. The traditional pageant gave way to the representation of the idea that the modern era, even though dominated by machines and robots, has an inherent beauty. Our Tree Day of 1931 reaches to the beginning of civilization, to the beating of the drums of primitive man, and shows the development of music through the ages until it culminates in the unified and harmonious symphony. Not alone by music is this idea evolved, but by the use of those colors which seem best to express the char- acter of the instruments, the flaming red of the first wild rhythmic beats, the metallic greens and blues of the brasses, the shades of purple and violet to suggest the subtle overtones of the strings, and sprightly orange, green and brown for the wood winds. Just as the colors are all held within the sunHght, so are all the instruments a living part of the symphony. The Tree Day committee of 1931 has effected a change. From this year on Tree Day will be semi-open every year.

For once, realization surpassed our anticipation. It was worth our three years of waiting. The week ' cnd began on Friday afternoon with bridge and tea dancing at 2. A. That night the Wesleyan Paint and Powder Club entertained us with A. A. Milne ' s Dover Road, followed by dancing. After a morning of proudly dragging our reluctant men to classes, Saturday afternoon plunged us again in the social whirl. There was tea dancing at Tower, followed by Prom dinner at Severance, Claflin and Tower, and finally Prom itself. Alumnae was transformed into a summer flower garden, complete even to a crystal globe, a rose-trimmed garden gate and a slim sickle of a moon. Roy Lamson supplied the music, the frozen underclassmen the admiring audience. Prom Committee Two Hundred Twenty r L E THE COMMITTEE Edith Kennelly Chaumav.

The campus was soon covered with a snow as beautiful as the one which honored senior prom our freshman year. A few brave men appeared on campus Friday morning. Officially, how- ever, the week-end began Friday night with Prom dinner at Tower and Severance, followed by the much anticipated Prom itself. Thirty-one went futuristic with a vengeance. Silver £sh swam on electric blue panels in anything but a marine manner; octopuses leered from the walls; a sea gull swooped above the door. Roy Lamson again provided a rhythm as restless as the decorations. Saturday afternoon found us dancing at Tower, and Saturday night opened the doors to the rest of the college with the William and Mary Players ' Just Suppose, followed by dancing. Monday, a heaven-sent holi- day, allowed most of us to recover our equilibrium and gave opportunity to the more hardy of us for a winter sports week-end.

We were importantly installed upon wickep backed chairs, delighting in the endless panorama of the Champs Elysees: English women, with intent faces and loose clothing, French poodles (with their mistresses, of course), Arabs, laden down with garish tapestries, yellow- spatted Frenchmen, stolid-looking Turks, impassive Germans and — well, then the waiter came. We were feeling as cosmo- politan as our surroundings, and said as nonchalantly as possible, Cinq cafes-au- lait et des brioches. We hoped he was impressed. He smiled a bland smile and said, Yes, Miss, right away. Five punc- tured tires proceeded then to reinflate themselves with coffee and chagrin. Yes, life in Paris those first weeks was full of disillusionment. French currency, for instance, is a snare and a delusion. It can be of paper, large, with a disagreeable habit of disintegrating upon the slightest incentive, or of punctured metal. Becauss one gets so many more bills in French money for the cherished five spot, one vaguely imagines that said bills will last longer than in America. One doles out ten franc notes with careless aban- don until the dream is shattered. Thereafter, one can be heard muttering the four-times formula through teeth gritted with determination. We also fondly imagined that Americans were the most persistent hand-shakers known. The French, however, hold first honors. They make of this a special and indispensable rite, requiring a particular technique. Some time is necessary before one acquires the correct combination of pre- cision and vagueness. One should ga2,e abstractedly into space, while the hands meet by instinct. Yet as the weeks rolled by, these petty grievances sank into oblivion before the graver issues at hand. Morning after morning we spent, on very long and very hard benches, in the amphitheatre of the Universite de TEDDY AT CHAMONIX Tivo Hundred Twenty-four r Nancy, absorbing in spite of ourselves the ghastly proceedings necessary to an explication de textes. We should like to take you to the tennis courts in Madame Courus ' garden, where we batted balls on la2;y afternoons, filling our nostrils awhile with the aroma of sizzling -jl - •(i.,-- ? crepes and pot-au-feu. We should i Ll love to take you down the canal in a perissoire, a most collapsible type of canoe. The jaunt would prove an educa ' tion in itself, as we skirted in and out, trying to avoid the barges, over ' hearing bits of conversation in Dutch, German or any of the Rhenish dialects. There are myriad things we would like to show you: the Aguille d ' Argentieres by moon ' light, the blue of a Chartres rose ' window, colorful St. Malo during the Fete Sainte-Marie, golden Florence with her more golden Arno seen from the Mount of Michael Angelo, a Parisian sunrise seen from Sacre-Coeur. All this we can but suggest, hoping for a sympathetic smile. IDA AT NANCY BEE AND FLO NEAR NANCY Tiuo Hundred Tu)enty-|iDe 1 f- 1 MODEL ASSEMBLY OF THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS While the Wellesley student body was still trying to find its way in and around Hetty Green Hall, troops of visitors descended upon us and the blind were called to lead the blind. On March sixth and seventh, 1931, Wellesley was hostess to the League of Nations Model Assembly o f New England Colleges. Under the direction of Mary Losey, ' 32, president of Liberal Club and chairman of Local Arrangements for the Assembly, and Florence Smith, ' 32, Secretary-General of the Council, delegates from thirty colleges, rep ' resenting fiftyone countries, were housed and entertained. Commission and committee meetings on the questions of European Union, Mandates, Minorities, Intellectual Cooperation, the International Bank and Opium were held Friday afternoon. That night the delegates were guests at a dance at Alumnae and visiting faculty and friends were invited by the Departments of Economics and History to attend an informal open house at Horton. In the morning session of the Model Plenary Meeting of the League Assembly, at Alumnae, reports were presented by the Permanent Mandates Commission, the Committee on Minorities and the Committee on the Inter- national Bank, and the first two questions were hotly debated. Emily Houk, Two Hundred Twenty-iix !- iltf ' 33, delegate from Italy, made some remarks on the question of Mandates. The critique was given by W. Yandell Eliot of Harvard. The afternoon discussion concerned European Union, on which subject several Wellesley speakers were eloquent. Edith Kennelly, ' 31, spoke for Hungary; Eli2;abeth Klauder, ' 32, for Argentina, and Mathilde Perlstein, ' 31, although a delegate from Norway, presented the case of the Soviet Republic m a most spirited manner. Emilie Gottschalk, special student from Swit2;erland, spoke in German, with Ann Sommerich, ' 32, as her interpreter. Charles K. Webster, Exchange Professor at Harvard from King ' s Col- lege, Cambridge, gave the critique for the session and extended congratula- tions to the delegates for their intelligent work in the interests of world peace. The Assembly was colorful and exciting. The speakers had command of their subjects and lively interest in them. Speeches in French, Polish, Norwegian and German by natives of the respective countries lent atmos- phere, and strong feeling on certain subjects led to several amusing situ- ations. The departure of the entire Italian delegation when one of their number was not recognized by the chair came at the end of an eventful afternoon in which the delegates ' serious purpose and ready humor were happily mingled.

' - - View of ' Wellesley from the HunneweU Gardens, 1875 AFTER COLLEGE HALL The morning of the seventeenth of February, 1931, when Miss Pendleton led the march of faculty, administration and student body upon the hen- coop to demolish it, was significant to us who have spent a few years in Wellesley, but to those who saw the famous fire of February 17, 1914, the occasion was fraught with deeper meaning. There were many in the line of march that morning and at the chapel service afterward who saw, instead of the little frame structure, the old brick walls of College Hall and the flames which roared in the great curved windows. They could see Miss Pendleton patrolling the busy line of girls, many of them barefooted and half ' clad, who worked to save books, papers and pictures. They could hear her in the chapel giving thanks for the many lives saved and quietly announcing that the spring term would begin on April 7th, as usual. Miss Florence Converse writes: This was the voice of one who actually Two Hundred Twenty-eight r M •The Students ' Parlor. 1875 believed that faith would remove mountains. And it did. By the faith of President Pendleton, Wellesley College is alive today. Of the first iew weeks after the fire, Miss Converse says: . . . . two hundred and sixteen people were houseless; the departments of Zoology, Geology, Physics and Psychology had lost their laboratories, their equip ' ment, their lecture rooms; twentyeight recitation rooms, all the adminis ' trative offices, the offices of twenty departments, the assembly hall, the study hall, had all been swept away. Yet, in a little less than three weeks, there had sprung up on the campus a temporary building containing twenty-nine lecture and recitation rooms, thirteen department olfices, fifteen adminis- trative offices, three dressing rooms and a reception room. Plumbing, steam heat, electricity and telephone service had been installed. A week after college opened for the spring term, classes were meeting in the new building. A spirit of helpfulness and cheer began on the day of the fire, and seems to have acquired added momentum with the passing months. Clothes, books, money, were loaned as a matter of course. By half past nine o ' clock in the morning, Miss Mary Frazer Smith, the secretary of the dean, had written out from memory the long schedule of the June examinations, to be Two Hundred Twenty-nine posted at the beginning of the spring term. Members of the faculty were conducting a systematic search for salvage among the articles that had been dumped temporarily in the ' Barn ' and the library; homes had been found for the houseless teachers, most of whom had lost everything they possessed; several members of the faculty had no permanent home but the college, and their worldly goods were stored in the attic from which nothing could be saved. It is said that when President Pendleton, in chapel, told the students to go home as soon as they had collected their possessions, an unmistakable ripple of girlish laughter ran through the dispossessed congregation. This was the Franciscan spirit in which Wellesley women took their personal losses. For the general losses, all mourned together, but with hope and courage. A few days after the fire. President Pendleton wrote, in her message to the Alumnae and all other friends of Wellesley: The unbelievable is true. College Hall is a ruin. But it is stately and majestic in its desolation, and it inspires us to face the future with courage. While we rejoice that no life was lost, we must grieve that College Hall, which was the visible habitation of precious memories and dear associations, is gone; but we know that no fire can take from us Wellesley women our heritage invisible but steadfast.
