M ;v- c OPYRIGHT 1932 ™™ HENRIETTE AHRENS, Editor-in-Chief MARGARET N.MOYNIHAN, Business Manager BAKER, JONES, HAU3AUER, INC. DISTINCTIVE COLLEGE ANNUALS DUFFALO, N. Y. GGeNDA ULjy I A W N AaA X DGD Mary Lowell Coolidge De n, who in the course of one year in Wellesley has en- deared herself to the whole college. Coming to us from Bryn Mawr Radcliffe and Vassar, Miss Coolidge was singularly prepared to take a place of leadership in the new Wellesley. In so short a time as a year Miss Coolidge has succeeded in drawing a closer bond between the administration and the student body, and having known her, the Class of 1932, upon leaving, looks forward with renewed confidence to the Wellesley of the future. I r: rj-.TTMi ' T;ji % The Legenda is essentially a record of our past, of an eventful four years in which we have seen many changes in the buildings we have lived and studied in, and even more radical changes in our own grasp of the fundamental purposes on which the college is founded. So strong is the sense of growth and development experienced through our college years that we cannot present our book as the last testament of a class that has been, but rather as an unfinished account of the 1932 that has come to see that in wellesley incipit vita nova.

A smooth green lawn now covers the place once occupied by the lowly ' ' chic en coop, and sets off to advantage this very attractive entrance. ARCHWAY o HE OF THE MAKT beautiful and un- usual archways of Hetty H. R. Green Hall, fayniliarly noiun as the new Ad Building. The picture shoivs some of the interesting Gothic detail of the building, and through the arch we catch a glimpse of the curving driveway beyond, an effective bit of landscape architecture. SAGE HALL Ti HIS VIEW OF THE Botany Building shows also the entrance of the Zoology Building, completing the new biological unit nown affec- tionately to science students as the Bozo Build- in. g. The architecture stri es a distinctly modern note in pleasant contrast to the Gothic which predominates throughout therestofthe campus. GALEN STONE TOWE R Ti HIS PHOTOGRAPH SHOWS the hell tower of Green Hall which rises above Found ' ers ' ' Hall, commanding a view of the surround ' ing campus. On Commencement Day, 193 1, the hells made their official dehut. The chimes which now announce the ynorning chapel hour have hecome a familiar sound, hut lose none of their charm b i repetition. fe3 y s H ' ... fc w. f ? t S 3 t i .«■« Vi ii!S ,- fet «?C5 ..S-v . ? ij!ir   .W III UIJ SEVERANCE HALL s EVERAKCE HALL, finished in 1927, is one of the newer dormitories, and completes the Tower group.

It is in appreciation of the unselfish service she has given the college, and in realization of what her friendship has meant to us, that the Class of 1932 has chosen Miss Christian as an honorary member. A member of the Class of 1915, Miss Christian returned to Wellesley in 1918 to assume the posi- tion of Christian Association secretary, which office she held for two years. In the fall of 1928, when the present senior class was a freshman class. Miss Christian returned to her Alma Mater after an absence of eight years — this time as head of Webb House. There she remained for two years, until she was appointed assistant Dean of Residence, It is in the latter capacity that we have all known Miss Christian, and in knowing her have learned the quality of her friendship. An attempt to analyze that quality would be fruitless; as Lawrence Binyon says. For Mercy, Courage, Kindness, Mirth There is no measure upon earth. J ay, the i wither, root and stem. If an end be put to them. 44 Margaret Davis Christian 45 George Arliss Each year the members of the senior class choose as an honorary member a citizen of the outside world whose work in some phase in the building up of modern civilization has been significant. This year the class has chosen George Arliss, who has demonstrated that great acting is not confined to the stage and in so doing has not only provided excellent entertainment for the public, but has also con- tributed much to the development of a new art. A dramatic critic, commenting upon Arliss art as displayed m Disraeli, has said, It is the happy medium, the natural, full-scale expression of life. From the most subt le nuances of irony and persuasive wit to the emotional abandonment of anger and despair, and back again, this veteran stage star moves with the smoothness of a calipered shuttle, bringing to each mood and man- ner convincing ease that could have been acquired only through a fortunate combination of genius and rich experience. His is the full art of the stage, and to the ' talkies ' it is a rare gift, as priceless as an example as it is valuable for its own sake. 46 George Arliss 47 Margaret M.

Treasurer 123 College Government Association In the four years that the class of 1932 has enjoyed the privileges and shared the responsibilities of College Government, the College Government Association has been developing steadily along two lines, toward more efficient machinery in its legislative, administrative, and judicial branches, and toward a general liberaliz;ing of the college rules. The organization under its 1931-19 32 officers has pursued the same policy of measured development and critical analysis of its own weaknesses as a complex working body. With these aims in mind College Government appointed a joint committee of students and faculty to study and revise the Gray Book. With the consent of the Senate changes were made in extending privileges, notably the senior late permission rule, and the rearrangement and simpliiication of the Gray Book itself. College Government has also tried to improve the machinery of elections in several ways. While the girls elected to the junior vice-presidencies were formerly village juniors automatically, now the College Government Board chooses, before minor elections are held, the list of village juniors from which the vice-presidents are elected. Again the power of nominating for president and chief justice of the organization has been taken away from the student body as a whole, and put in the hands of a committee appointed by the Senate. This change was made to secure a more responsible and serious selection of candidates, and is in line with a method which other college organizations have found highly satisfactory. With the increase in the flexibility and rationality of rules, co-operation has been attained to a large degree. In dealing with student problems m the last year emphasis has been placed on the responsibility of the indix ' idual to respect and protect the highest interests and welfare of the group. With the objective of individual freedom checked only by responsibility to the community, faculty and students have worked together for an efficient and equitable system of government. 124 Cornelia A.

The desire of many of those most deeply interested in C. A. is that it may be not only an organization but a fellowship of all those who have become members by signing the pledge: We unite in the desire to realize a full and creative life through a growing knowledge of God. We determine to have a part in making this life possible for all people. In this task we seek to understand Jesus and follow His principles. Because the Wellesley Christian AssO ' ciation is a member of the Y. W. C. A. of the United States and a participant in the World ' s Student Christian Federation this fellowship is one with people all over the world. Of the many activities carried on by C. A. one of the best known is the Sunday evening vesper services. C. A. is also responsible for the week in February given over to special afternoon and evening services and discussions called, this year, the Religious Forum. The Religious Council, a newly created part of C. A. which has charge of the Religious Forum, represents m membership the different religious groups in college. Another new and apparently successful undertaking was the presentation of a medieval nativity play in the chapel shortly before Christmas vacation. Other C. A. activities carried on in past years are more familiar to many. C. A. may be most easily recognized by the freshmen as hostess at the C. A.-C. G. reception and get-acquainted tea, as entertainer in the vaudeville, or quide in the form of Ask Me ' s. C. A. is also responsible for publishing the Freshman Bible and providing big sisters. To all classes reading groups offer an opportunity for informal study of interesting problems of the day. The maids ' library is under C. A. supervision. To many students the work which has some relation to the world outside campus has the most appeal. A number of students have classes at the settlement houses in Boston. These contacts are arranged through the Social Service Committee. The Student Industrial Committee makes it possible for those interested to attend union meetings in Boston and to meet girls who work in the Brockton mills and exchange ideas with them. The World Fellowship Committee was fortunate in being able to help entertain a group of foreign students visiting this country early in the fall, as well as arranging study groups for those interested in European political and religious problems. The Conference Committee has arranged for a number of students for conferences at Cedar Hill, Northfield, Poland Springs, and Silver Bay. Here it is possible for us to come in contact not only with students of other colleges but to become awakened to a clearer realization of the problems facing the world today. 128 Wellesley Students ' Aid Society, Inc.

The class of 1929 played auction bridge — and ate tuna fish — stopping every few minutes to shush loudly those members of 1932 who were mumbling incoherent bits of lines in nervous anticipation. Fledgling Barnswallows, 1932 could be awed into silence by the card-playing seniors for but a moment. Nineteen-thirtytwo was, in short, confused but ever-hopeful. Surely, thought the con- fused youngsters, with members of our class on committees, this last-minute bustle can be elimi- nated. And, thought these same ever-hopeful youngsters, surely Vicky Eisenberg as Margaret in Overtones, and Lucy Tompkins as Lady Jane in Shall We Join the Ladies will do us proud — that is, if the lighting committee ever arrives! Justification and to spare of all the confidence of 1932 came in those Fall Informals, when the lighting committee did, of course, show up in the very nick of time, and again m the spring, when Vivian Grady (lo, to what heights has she risen), Libby Kaiser, and Marion Gough made their bows in that operette extraordinaire, The Gondoliers. That was the last, alas, but one, of the operatic aspirations of Wellesley. Vicky Eisenberg was Gianetta, as good in that part as she had been as Margaret. No longer, with the social schedule minus the operetta, can Wellesley ' s theatre-goers see classmates as Follies girls. No longer can they see Ruth Royes, Imo Ward, Si Wilson, or Marjorie Wise as Contadini, nor Kelly Leonard, Jan Rosenthal, Bernetta Moorhouse and Jane Stare as romantic Gondolieri. Libby Brackett, Davey Davis, Jean McCormick and Emily Neal must practice the terpsichorean art on — perhaps — Tree Day, instead of in operettas at Alumnae Hall. If operetta comes, can Informals be far behind? Trifles, in the spring of 1932 ' s freshman year, was the first competition play to be presented by ' 32. Two new and very bright stars appeared m that, namely Marjorie Foster and Mary Gage, the one as Mrs. Hale, the other as the County Attorney. Ellen Nealley, whom 1932 was to lose to the Sorbonne for one whole year, played Mrs. Peters to Marian Gough ' s Mr. Peters. The fall of 1929 saw Wellesley actresses back from vacations in various parts, ready to search with renewed energy for the lost key, ready to attack again the problem of last-minute bustle. It was the class of 1930 playing bridge now, and because auction bridge days were over, 1930 played contract before going on in Informals. Kelly Leonard and Dot Davis, committee heads, had done their best on the problem of that bustle, but even their efforts had not rendered the lighting committee punc- tual. One member of the scenery committee tells the story of how she painted a backdrop for the second play while the first was in progress. Old troupers all — the show must go on! Golden Doom was the first offering at Informals, with Carol Densmore and Louise Seedenburg playing the parts of a Page and a Spy, respectively. That play witnessed the dying gasps of the old cyclorama, which was glorified beyond recognition by gold paint. Torches was the second play, and no one who saw it can ever forget Jan Rosenthal ' s superb acting in her first big part. Her tights, her ultra-tights, will stay in our memories for many a year. Third came T he Twelve Pound Look, in which Viv Grady as Lady Sims interpreted the Barrie creation to perfection, and Jane Link ably took the part of Tomhes. 131 Torchbearers was the next to come, to be seen and applauded. Mary Gage was Mr. Spmdler, who never failed pompous Mrs. Pavipinelli (Vicky Eisenberg) m the hour of quotation. Those two actresses were once more — to understate matters — not without merit. Ellen Nealley, of previous mention, took the part of Mr. Spearing. Torchbearers was the play in which the famous goblet episode took place. Julilly House was to throw the goblet to the floor, where it should have broken. In the final performance the goblet bounced! The last of the operettas, The Two Vagabonds, was Barn ' s first spring offering. Vicky starred as Rosalie, while Jan Rosenthal, Viv Grady and Marjorie Wise were good enough to make ' 32 fairly burst with pride. Helen Lobbett and Dot Davis were working behind the scenes, but even their efforts availed not — the excellent tuna fish and coffee Helen supplied the actresses seemed not to allay the inevitable tension before the curtain rose. Nineteen-thirty-two ' s choice for Spring Informals, The Last of the Lowries, won the competi ' tion for the class. Four (by this time) experienced actresses — Eisenberg, Foster, Rosenthal, and Keith were responsible for this first recognition of ' 32 ' s ability. Lucy Tompkins, who had left Barn for a time for literature, came back to her first love in the June Play that year. Betty Keith played Balbina in the same play, and Louise Seedenburg had the part of a nun. Proud of its new juniority, 1932 returned to Wellesley in the fall of 1930, ready for the reception play, Rehearsal. Many juniors were committee heads, working the traditional long hours for the traditional small thanks, but there was still hubbub in the Green Room while Miss Pendleton and Ginny Thayer welcomed the class of 1934. Bee Barasch was behind the scenes, pinning costumes, calm in the midst of the uproar. Mary Gage was there, using all her executive ability to supervise 132 the scenery committee. Louise Seedenburg, whose posters and programs were always successful, was wondering whether the next would be as good. Henri Ahrens was trying out the noises from without, and getting every prop in its appointed place. Dot Upjohn, head of the lighting committee, succeeded in working wonders with spots and floods. Ruth Kemmerer was fitting wigs and whiskers — when she could find an actress not busily engaged in eatmg tuna fish. Members of the class of 1931 had graduated to the dignity of the card-table now — playing the Culbertson system — and 1932 was almost calm enough to sit, even as the seniors, and play cards throughout the din. Vicky had transferred, to return another year, but the others were all there, represented by Jan Rosenthal, Mary Gage and Betty Keith in the play. Viv Grady and Kelly Leonard were full-fledged officers — vice-president and treasurer, respectively. New talent came in with those who transferred to Wellesley that fall. Kyle Habberton (and her make-up was a sight to behold) made her first appearance in The Drums of Oude, one of the plays given at Fall Informals, while Carol Mather appeared for the first time in The Trysting Place. Ruth Benedict, of subsequent fame, first stepped upon the boards of Barn with Carol. Betty Keith had a major part in the third play, Aria da Capo. Enter Madame gave Kyle another chance to use the talents she had shown us she possessed, and afforded Betty Keith and Jan parts which they, as always, handled most skillfully. In the Green Room the committees and the actresses assembled — and mild profanity attested the fact that the last minute bustle was not yet eliminated. Spring Informals brought A Night at an Inn, as ' 32 ' s contribution. Kyle as The Toff gave a fine character performance, as did Betty Keith as Albert Thomas and Marjorie Foster as Klesh. There was plenty of hidden talent discovered in that play — what with Mil Adell, Violet-Page Koteen, Elise 133 Davis, Virginia Wood, and Betty Pond all deserting other activities to tike part in dramatic work for the first time. The class of ' 33 v ?o the competition, but the class of ' 32 found the scenery com- mittee ' s lost key before the performance ! Many of the well-known ' 32 ' s stayed for the June Play: Benedict, and Mather, Foster, Seeden- burg and Link were some of the more experienced actresses who appeared in that. New to Barn audiences in speaking parts were Henri Ahrens, Libby Brackett, Ruth Ball, Connie Newbury and Virginia Harte. Senior year at last! Behind the scenes in the Green Room, while the scenery committee was over- turning furniture in a frenzied search for its lost key, while members of three classes awaited im- patiently some dilatory committee, the class of 1932 serenely, confidently, nay, even proudly, played bridge — the official system, contract. An alumna of the class of 1888 wandered in, looked around, and chuckled to herself. As it was m the beginning, is now — it ever shall be, she murmured as she wandered out to find a seat and watch Barn ' s presentation of The Stepmother. Viv Grady, now president, addressed the class of 1935 before the play, in which Carol Mather as a lovelorn doctor and Jan Rosenthal as Mrs. Prout were ably aided by Lillian Libman and Marian Johnson, who will, perhaps, play bridge next year. It was the class of 1935 which watched and wondered in the Green Room before Fall Informals in 1931. They watched Mary Gage working on scenery, they watched Ruth Kemmerer, again fitting whiskers, Izzy CranfiU, breaking tension by making everyone laugh. Dot Upjohn and Bee Barasch going about their work and they were confused but ever hopeful. Surely, they thought, with members of 1935 on committees, this last-minute bustle can be eliminated. Surely our members who 134 are acting in these three plays will do us proud. Which they did, but that is another story, and one which will appear in the Wellesley yearbook three years from now. Rococo was the first of the Informals, coached by Viv Grady. Ruth Benedict as Mr. Reginald had much trouble with — and made a great success of — her toupee, which persisted in slipping. Jephthah ' s Daughter, the second of the plays, was directed by Izzy CranfiU. Vicky, back once again, and Marjorie Foster, whose very names connote good acting, had the parts of Sheilah and Dinah. Last of the Informals was Tickless Time, in which Ina Gotthelf was the only member of ' 32 to appear. Her characterization of Mrs. Stubhs was so well done, however, as to uphold the honor of an entire class. Formals brought The Swan and complete success for 1932. Behind the scenes ' 35 was awed by shushes from the lips of the seniors, the seniors who played bridge — the official system, contract. On the stage Elizabeth Roosa, who took the part of Dr. J icholas Agi, made everyone wish that she had appeared in more pl ays at Alumnae. The same wish applied to Sylvia Glass, in a comic part, for both newcomers were highly successful. Lucy Tompkins came back to Barn, after a long absence; her interpretation of Alexandra, and Vicky ' s of the Princess Beatrice more than justified the pride m them that ' 32 has always had. Ruth Benedict and Marjorie Foster were splendid, as usual. Spring Informals and June Play are still to come, before the dramatic career of 1932 as a class will be over. Some of our more talented members may continue in theatre work, may continue in the out- side world to shed reflected glory on their classmates. But now is the time for those of us who have always sat out front to give thanks to Barn, its officers, its committees and its actresses, for the pleasure they have given us for the last four years. 135 ND ■ r.

Newbury, ' 32 Indoor Basketball Lacrosse Riding Tennis Volleyball Winter Gym 164 Athletic Association By the time we reach senior year, a pair of discarded gym shoes and a dmi recollection of required training are for most of us the sole reminder of a brief albeit strenuous athletic career. Even so, we do remember in the fall of freshman year the game with the English hockey team when ' 32 was represented on the varsity by Esther Gebelein. Another varsity position was held by Robin Adair on the golf team, and at fall Field Dayjeannette O ' Connor won the individual riding cup. Most of us also remember Winter Carnival. There was a full moon, and the snow was deep and dry, so that the skiing and skijoring were particularly good. In the spring of freshman year the outstanding event was a play day with five other colleges. At spring Field Day Miriam Fitts won the individual baseball cup, and in the crew competition Float Night we came in third. Sophomore year was uneventful, except for the Swimming P ool Carnival held in the fall. In spite of the fourteen hundred dollars thereby added to the fund, the Swimming Pool remains a fond dream of the future. At spring Field Day ' 32 was well represented on the varsities — Miriam Fitts, Clarice Connally, and Mary Larkin on baseball, Mary EHzabeth Smith on track, Alice Rigby, Idda Jova, and Nancy Ott on tennis, Helen Gunner, Robin Adair, Carol Densmore, and Margaret Habermeyer on lacrosse, and Jeannette O ' Connor on riding. This was an even better showing than m the fall of that year, when the varsity hockey team included Esther Gebelein and Robin Adair, varsity volleyball accounted for Bebe Barth and Virginia Hodson, and Elizabeth Freiberg and Jeannette O ' Connor placed respectively on varsity basketball and riding. Our crew came in last in the competi- tion, but we did have to our credit one member on the varsity, Bobby Trask. In the fall of junior year the W was awarded to Esther Gebelein for hockey, to Jeannette O ' Connor and Margery Sloss for riding, to Jeanette Myers for golf, to Elizabeth Freiberg for basketball, and for volleyball to Bebe Barth, at that time head of volleyball. Jeanette Myers was a member of the varsity golf team that fall, and on varsity hockey was Esther Gebelein, Robin Adair, and Carol Densmore. Winter Carnival that year bore startling resemblance to a swimming meet; nevertheless, it marked ' 32 ' s first real victory. On the gym team that winter were Robin Adair and Helen Kirk. In the spring, the heads of sports, ten of whom were members of ' 32, were elected for the following year. W ' s were awarded to Belle Kirch, Bobby Trask, Helen Kirk, and Jean Wells for crew, to Claudia Jessup for archery, to Mary Larkin, Mildred Adell, and Miriam Fitts for base- ball, and to Robin Adair for lacrosse. Our varsity membership for the spring of ' 31 showed Bobby Trask and Jean Wells on crew, Claudia Jessup on archery, Mildred Adell and Miriam Fitts on baseball, Alice Rigby, Nancy Ott, and Idda Jova on tennis, Esther Gebelein, Connie Newbury, Helen Gunner, Jean Wells, Margaret Habermeyer, and Robm Adair on hockey. This time the crew competition was won by us, by way of climax to a successful season. The fall of senior year showed ' 32 well represented on varsity hockey by Robin Adair, Esther Gebelein, Jane Link, Jean McCormick, Connie Newbury, and Rhoda Reynolds; on varsity basket- ball we had Elizabeth Freiberg. Fall Field Day we pass over! However, the spring season is still before us. And if the record of the past three years shows no amazing achievement, it is at, least an interesting and varied one. 165 Crew Barbara Trask Helen Kirk Dorothy Upjohn Mildred Marcy Susan Brockett Ruth Ball Rhoda Reynolds Anna Louise Dunham Jean McCormick Marie Kass, ' 34 Eugenie Williams, ' 31 Barbara Trask, ' 32 Marjorie Breyer, ' 31 Yvonne Smith, ' 31 Elizabeth Gatchell, ' 33 Elizabeth Bowman, ' 31 Rosalie Sherman, ' 33 First Crew Substitutes Head of Sport Isabelle Kirch Deborah Burt Barbara Trask Jean Wells Cox Dorothy Newnham Frances Eldredge Cox Varsity Crew, Spring of 1931 Margaret Atwood, ' 33 Jean Wells, ' 32 Nancy Fitzwilliams, ' 33 Marjorie Siskey, ' 31 Cox Substitutes Dora Cummings, ' 33 Isabelle Kirch, ' 32 Cox 166 Basketball Elizabeth Freiberg Elise Davis Margaret Kayton Mary Larkin, W Jean Wells First Team Substitutes Elizabeth Pond Head of Sport Elizabeth Freiberg, W Miriam Fitts Mildred Adell Isabelle Kirch Varsity Team, Fall of 193 1 Isabel Sorzano, ' 33 Elizabeth Freiberg, 32 Priscilla Woodley, 35 Elizabeth Marren, 33 Jane Loomis, 33 Natalie Bolton, 33 Norma Markell, 31- Substitutes Jane Mapes, 33 Margaret Connors, 35 167 Lacrosse Amabel Price Helen Gunner Esther Gebelein Jane Link Rosamond Peck Louise Oilman Mildred Adell Esther Gebelein, ' 32 Ruth Chapman, ' 33 Jane Mapes, ' 33 Mar.iorie Lufkin, ' 33 Head of Sport First Tear Virginia Harte Margaret Habermeyer Margaret Moynihan Elizabeth Pond Constance Newbury Jane Adair, W Substitutes Caroline Densmore Jean Wells Varsity Team, Spring o 193 1 Helen Gunner, ' 32 Elizabeth Roche, ' 33 Jean Wells, ' 32 Margaret Habermeyer, ' 32 Constance Newbury, ' 32 Florence Harriman, 31 Jane Adair, ' 32 Amabel Price, ' 33 168 Caroline Densmore Esther Gebelein Rosamond Peck Jean McCormick Virginia Harte Margaret Habermeyer Hockey Head of Sport First Team, Fall of 193 1 Jane Adair, W Jane Link Helen Gunner Constance Newbury Caroline Densmore Rhoda Reynolds Varsity Team, Fall of 193 1 Jane Adair, ' 32 Esther Gebelein, ' 32 Jane Link, ' 32 Jean McCormick, ' 32 Constance Newbury, ' 32 Rhoda Reynolds, ' 32 Marion Mullison, ' 33 Louise Gilman, ' 32 Elizabeth Auld, Ruth Wiggins, ' 34 Loretta Carleton, ' 35 Margaret Carmichael, Barbara Carr, ' 35 Sallie Clover, ' 35 Jane B.

So far, the outstanding feature of higher education has been a four-hour examination of my anatomy, undergone with the scanty aid of an angel robe in a place called Mary Hemenway. The rest of last week is peculiarly blurred in my memory, save that I dmily recollect having been addressed by sundry dignitaries on the ends and aims of my being here. The campus, what one could see of it through the rain, struck me as the chief reason for my presence in these parts. The scenery, my dear, is divme! Saturday A.M. was the first chapel service with the seniors m cap and gown and the faculty m all sorts of outlandish regalia. In the P.M. there was a reception on the President ' s lawn at which one signed one ' s name at least a thousand times (for the sake of future identification) and ate rasp ' berry ics and gingersnaps. Monday and Tuesday I began the pursuit of Geology, French, English Lit, Art, English Comp, Hygiene, and auction bridge. By way of relaxation we were received Saturday night by the Barn- swallows (dramatic society) at which time there was a play and dancing, sans males, of course. Time for dinner — continued m my next. Jane Dear family, October, 1928 The fire at Eliot this afternoon really wasn ' t serious — in case you read about it in the paper. I ' m still all of a piece, and have retained my original wardrobe in comparative completeness. Love, Jane Dear family, November, 1928 Sorry to have been so silent, but there ' ve been things to do. I wrote you about the sophomore and freshman serenades, didn ' t I? I ' ve got my green lantern with a hole burnt in it stuck over my mirror. Since then, we ' ve had a political campaign, and a game with the English hockey team. They beat us, but even so, our class is patting itself on the back to have had a member on the varsity — Esther Gebelein. As for the campaign! We ' ve been living in a soapbox atmosphere for weeks, what with Hoover and Al glaring across at each other from posters tacked all along the corridor. The climax of it all came a week ago Monday with floats and a band and speeches. The college houses went as different groups of voters, the faculty obligingly representing the ignorant vote. Graham McNamee presided and filled in the gaps. Lindy appeared, and John Coolidge led the band in ' Tve been workin ' on the railroad. The candidates. Hoover and Smith, accompanied by their respective wives, were introduced from the platform by Will Rogers — who was really the hit of the evening, valiant oratorical efforts on the part of the nominees notwithstanding. It really was unique. Give my love to everyone, and will you please send up my old blue skirt? I ' ll try to write sooner next time. Jane Dear family, November, 1928 This cloistered academic retreat has suddenly turned to Bedlam. We ' ve all reverted to medievalism — you see, Fran Eldredge, the freshman president, lives in Fiske, with the result that for the past two days we have been barricading ourselves in the house with piled-up furniture, and have resorted to pouring buckets of water from the roof upon sophomores below. We got out early one morning and greased the fire escape so that they couldn ' t get in that way. The few that did, we tied up with fire ropes. As to just what it ' s all about, we ' re a little hazy — I think it ' s a tradition. There are rumors now of a truce, but we ' re keeping the hose handy. Vale, Jane 180 Dear Joe, December, 1928 I ' d adore to have you meet me. Do you think you can make it? — Friday, the twenty-first, at 6:45 A. M. ril be mighty glad to see you, old thing. Jane January, 1929 Dear Sally, What with getting up at five A.M., which was murk midnight, to help serve coffee and doughnuts to the Vil juniors who came around the morning we left, and taking the 1 A.M. Special back from New York after vacation. I ' ve been keeping ungodly hours. Nothing to do now but settle down and study for exams and try to dodge the flu — half the college is in the infirmary and the rest of us are wheezy. I ' m going down town and buy me a Wellesley special by way of moral uplift — 5000 calories as a conservative estimate ! Jane P. S. The new dorms are open — Stone and Davis. February, 1929 Dear Joe, Exams in this place are a fright — oh, for the good old college boards. Hygiene was the last after- noon, which was a blow — of the location of the cerebellum, I ' m still in doubt. I think there were nineteen people m the taxi on the way down to the station afterwards. The only excitement since the new semester began was Winter Carnival last Thursday night. Skiing and skijoring and tobogganing and an obstacle race and a tug-o-war and fully two feet of snow and a moon and hot dogs and a bonfire. It was grand fun. I ' m afraid I ' m reverting to type, going collegiate in a most horrible fashion. There seems to be a mouse in my wastebasket. My brassie wasn ' t designed as a murderous weapon, but I may be more successful with it in this instance than I am in its legitimate use! I ' m looking for- ward to seeing you the week-end of the fifteenth. Let me know just when to expect you. My love, Jane March, 1929 Dear Sis, I ' ve been having a busy time. A week ago today was the Freshman-Sophomore tea-dance, with much corsage, and a floor show, together with the usual water-ice and gingersnaps. They must be another Wellesley tradition. Last week-end, as you know, Joe came up. We went to the operetta out here — The Gondeliers, which was really swell — with dancing afterwards. Saturday, we went dancing in town. Vacation starts tomorrow and I haven ' t started packing yet, and have a paper to copy. Yours for bigger, better, and more papers, Jane P. S. I forgot the biggest news of all. The J ews came out today. WE, Wellesley, are at last to be allowed to indulge in a little nicotine withm the sacred precincts of the Vil — nay, even more, of the campus itself. All this with restrictions and reservations, of course ! Dear family. How can I write you with the Marathon going right past the house? April, 1929 Jane 181 Dear family. May, 1929 More Tradition, with a capital T! Last Saturday was May Day. We all rose at an ungodly hour, and dressed in virginal white. The first thing on the program was the senior hoop ' toUing down Tower Court Hill. Then chapel and after that the sophomores formed the senior numerals on the hill, followed by a senior car with wheels that really moved. That afternoon a county fair came off with everyone in the most unconventional garb, a maypole dance, the crowning of the freshman president as May-Queen, and a Junior-Sophomore tug-o-war through Longfellow Pond, to boot. Next Saturday promises to be equally strenuous. We ' re having a Play-Day with five other colleges. Excuse the scrawl. Ill write more later. Jane Dear Sal, June, 1929 The inquisition is again upon us, but I must take time out (any excuse will serve to keep me from the reptiles of the Mesozoic) to tell you how grand it is that you ' re spending July with us. Life here is one continuous rush. Friday was Float night — crew races, the christening of our class boat, floats from Alice, varsity crew — and of course mosquitoes, pop corn, and ice cream cones. Next day was tree day with a pageant on Tower Court green to the honor of the orient and Kubla Khan, followed by the race to our class tree to which the sophomores beat us, sad to relate. It ' s hard to believe freshman year is over. You know, it ' s really been great fun. I ' ve about decided college is not half bad. Love, Jane Dear family, September, 1929 Can it really be a whole year since freshman week? It seems hardly possible I ' m all of a sophomore, hving in the Quad with upperclassmen and feeling very superior to the freshmen. This first week has been fully as hectic as last year ' s — unpacking, getting settled, finding out just who ' s back and where they ' re living, dragging my freshman to the reception Saturday afternoon — which was held m Alumnae on account of the weather — and standing in line for hours, actually, at Hathaway House! Courses are going to be interesting this year — even Bible. Did you know that Judges V, the part about Jael and the tent pin, is really older than Genesis? Gym, I still have with me, and the letter r, which, due to the accident of having been born west of the Alleghenies, persists in the English language as she is spoke by me, and is giving the Reading and Speaking Department considerable trouble ! No time for more now. Will write again soon. Best love to you all, Jane Dear Sis, October, 1929 Nice of you to think of writing your sister. I wish you could see the old town; I wonder if you would recognize it — there have been so many changes just since last year. Hathaway has an addition, there is a new signal system in the square — fearful and wonderful and utterly confusing — the old trolley line has gone, replaced by buses, Davis ' have an addition, there ' s a new block on Church street and one at Washington and Grove Streets. We now have another beauty shop, a Thayer- McNeil shoe shop, a Seller ' s restaurant (real food), a new dress shop, and a gift shop with gifts for men a specialty — a dire need filled! And the Thrift Shop has expanded! As for campus! The new Ad building goes on apace, and that side of Founders has become so noisy that our French class has given up the struggle and moved over to temporary quarters in the chemistry building. French verbs and hydrogen sulphide just don ' t seem to mix very well. Do write to me soon and tell me all the dirt. As ever, J. 183 November, 1929 Dear Sally, This last month has been continuous rush — Barn reception with The Dear Departed, which was howHngly funny, the Sophomore and Freshmen Serenades, the Boston Symphony concert — perfectly splendid — fall formals with three plays, Golden Doom, Torches, and The Twelve Pound Look, all very well done, and a dance afterwards at which I stagged. I ' m getting positively brazen as regards this stagging matter. Johnny, as you know, was down for the game, and we had a simply swell week-end. He ' s a darling. The only thing I ' ve missed this fall has been the Freshmen-Sophomore fight. They ' ve instituted a new system of hazing, but it doesn ' t have quite the same — je ne sais quoi ! — as our feud with the Class of ' 31 had. On a certain day the freshmen all had to appear with green hair ribbons, to be accosted by upperclassmen and requested to sing any one of several previously assigned college songs. Those that failed were brought to trial later and made to pay the dire penalty. We ' re going to hike over to the Needham Tea Tavern for tea. Autumn here in New England is perfectly gorgeous; it ' s too nice to stay indoors. So adieu. Jane P. S. What do you think of the new styles? December, 1929 Dear Sis, Since I last wrote — let ' s see — we ' ve had fall Field Day — at which our class trailed ignominiously in the rear — and the swimming pool carnival, which was a huge success, and netted $1395 to the fund. They had a vaudeville program presented in the auditorium twice during the evening, a ten- cents-a-dance system, cider, coffee, doughnuts and ice cream for sale, with booths in charge of the various college organizations and the six societies. (Time out for a fire drill. Oh !) Will you do as we decided about Dad ' s birthday? Thanks loads, darling. Also you might let fall the gentle hint that I ' m broke and in debt! Best love to all the family, Jane P. S. The annual campaign of dress a doll or give a dollar is on now. January, 1930 Dear Johnny, Another Christmas vacation has come and gone, and we ' re back again with nothing to look for- ward to but Midyears — and one particular week-end! Life hasn ' t been purely academic since January 8, if the truth be told. The Brown Glee Club gave a concert here two weeks ago, followed by dancing, and last Saturday night Hugh Walpole spoke at Dana Hall on Art and Immorality in the Novel. He ' s a delightful person. This is a very poor apology for a letter but I ' ll write again soon. I ' m going down to the Vil and buy me some soap, and then to the Inn for our favorite cinnamon toast and tea. My dear, I ' d like to be having tea with you this afternoon. Always, Jane 184 March, 1930 Dear Sally, This is written in the libe with one eye on the reserve shelf and one on the clock. I hate the libe. I ' m sorry but I do. Exams were simply fiendish — particularly Bible. Even now, if anyone says types of leadership in the Old Testament to me, I just simply go green. I spent the week-end after exams m New York, and of course came back all ready to start the second semester ! Rosa Ponselle sang here that first week; I enjoyed her as always. The following week-end was Senior Prom and the campus was lousy with men. I was a sophomore maid — all dressed up fit to kill in a black dress and a little ruffled cap and apron. What with checking coats, and slinging bacon and eggs around at supper, and later doing a little cutting-in — oh, most discreetly — my feet were about ready to drop off when I finally got home. The next night was a play, The Truth About Blayds, presented by the Yale Dramatic Club, and followed by dancing, open to the college at large. I went on a blind at the last minute. He was somewhat of a drip, but I had a good time anyway. Did you read m the paper about Miss Hazard ' s gift of the Browning letters to the Treasure Room of the library here? When you come up I must be sure to have you see them. Well, it seems to be time for the before class cigarette. Cheerio! Jane May, 1930 Dear Sis, Another six weeks lapse — truly I ' m ashamed of myself. Operetta — The Two Vagabonds — and the Freshmen-Sophomore tea-dance came just before vacation, and there were the usual papers and quizzes to take up every last minute. The tea-dance was really fun — nautical decorations, lemon and lime ice, and Burt Low ' s orchestra. But was I glad to hit the home trail next day ! Vacation was perfect except for your not being there. I ' ve been busy ever since. For one thing, spring has come and you know how divine it is in Welles- ley — with the peepers shrilling in the meadow-pond, et cetera. I feel an attack of Wordsworth coming on. I just haven ' t been able to let my tennis racket or my brassie stand idle in the corner — and we ' ve been canoeing once. May-Day was last week. We, as all good little Sophomores must, formed the senior class numerals on the hill, made a crew shell, obligingly rowed ourselves into a tree, and then tore down the hill to get our hoops. That afternoon we had an old English village festival, all very Manor hall-ish, and Nottingham Forest-ish, and great sport. A large time was had by all. No time for more now. I ' ll be home before we realize it, but do write me anyhow. Love, Jane October 4, 1930 Dearest family. The sight of you waving from the station platform is still with me, though (confession) I have been busy as a little red wagon since then. Freshmen, with their reporters ' blood, and their battle cry of how, when, where, why, and what demand service every moment. Being a Vil junior is fine training for future motherhood. I have forty waifs of the storm under my wing, and you can be sure they ' ll know their onions when I ' m thru with ' em. (Who murmured something about mixed metaphors?) And we, the jolly juniors, were once even as they ! Campus looks just as it did last spring, except that there are no senior cars ! What a lack — just when I was beginning to cultivate seniors, by listening to their talk about Generals. Consensus of opinion seems to be that the new rule about cars was a bit high-handed, but since the vehicles of all the men working on the new Ad building take up most of the available wagon room, I suppose the parking problem, if we had senior cars, might become acute. 186 The new Ad building, by the way, is nearly completed. I understand that we move over there after Christmas vacation. You should hear the teachers and students on the north side of Founders shouting at each other in classes — from long habit of last year, when the competition of stone- cutters and riveters outside rendered the loudest classroom shouts low murmurs. The tower of the new building rises high above Norumbega Hill, now, m true collegiate dignity. Barn put on a good entertainment for the freshmen the other night; Miss Pendleton and Ginny Thayer spoke, after which came the presentation of Rehearsal. Speaking of entertainment (and coming down to a lower plane, bien entendu) the Varicoarse Veined Vaudeville which the Vil juniors sponsored wasn ' t bad, either. At least the freshmen laughed uproariously at the jokes, all of which were aimed at them. I have a Lit paper due at one-forty, darling, so if you ' ll excuse me. 111 continue in our next. Love to you all, Jane + October 25, 1930 Dear Mother, As usual, I ' ve been so busy this past week that I haven ' t been able to send you the volumes I ' d hke to. Three papers, writer ' s cramp, and an inner feeling of satisfaction were the results of all my labors. As a reward I took myself to the concert given here on the 25th by the Boston Symphony. Bach and Debussy, Wagner, and Beethoven — the program was varied, you see, and Koussevitsky! Changes his collar between every selection. Having been m the doldrums because of all the papers assigned but not yet completed, I was awfully pleased when John (old reliable) asked me to go to Hartwell Farms for dinner last Tuesday. We sat m front of the enormous fireplace along with the other antiques and talked till I completely forgot my academic troubles. Will you please send me some soap. Mother? Also toothpaste and, if you don ' t mind, some of my favorite face powder? Thanks. With much love, Jane October 30, 1930 M i dear Father, Yours received, and jocular contents noted. No, you old meanie, of course stores m Wellesley don ' t sell soap or face powder, at least not to girls whose last cent of allowance is gone. (Take that!) As for your advice about not overdoing, I don ' t think you need worry about me. In my letters home I fail to mention the inert hours I spend torturing myself with thought of work which must be done — and often isn ' t ! Excitement attendant on society elections hasn ' t waned yet. Possessors of roses wandered about campus beaming the other day. It ' s fun to belong somewhere in all this femininity. I played golf with Mary last Thursday, on the new and improved Wellesley College golf course, where the new hole is no less than 5,386,403 feet long. If you had been out on that course with me. Dad, you would soon have been elaborately pretending that you never saw me before. I went ex- ploring in cabbage patches, corn fields, apple orchards, gravel pits, water hazards and woods. Write me soon, darling, and — lest you forget — allowance is due on the 1st. Love to you and all the family, Jane November 20, 1930 Dear Mother, Just time for a line. Please send permission for me to go roistering up to Dartmouth house-parties at once. Longer letter coming in a day or three. Love, Jane 187 December 7, 1930 Dear Sis, You are probably convinced by now that I ' m either dead or suffering from some particularly violent form of amnesia. My apologies, dear, for not sending frequenter evidence of my very frequent thoughts of you and that nuisance of a nephew of mine. I ' m in Phil class now, suffering from an acute attack of inferiority complex, since I can understand the words of neither students nor prof. Looking back over the past month and selecting therefrom bits of news for sisterly ears, I find one item that I know will interest you — Countee Cullen ' s Reading, which occurred early in Novem ' ber. You ' re such an admirer of his Black Christ that I wished all the time that I was listening to him that you could have been there. A week ago Barn put on Enter Madame — very successfully, I thought. Kyle Habberton was qui te medical as the doctor. Dancing at Alumnae, at which I stagged, concluded the evening ' s entertainment. There were only two decent men there — I rushed them with little — nay — no success. The most raucous social event of the month for me was Dartmouth house-parties, nertzy as usual, but a bit wearing. You should see Monday classes, Liz, — any Monday class. Half the girls, with circles under their eyes, nod patiently, awaiting a blessed afternoon nap; the rest are rosy -cheeked pursuant to a week-end spent in worship of the Great Goddess Health. Only a short time now till I ' ll be with you all again, Liz. I ' ll be so glad — I ' ve missed our solve- the-riddle-of-the-universe talks. Really! Jane WESTERN UNION NL RCD PDQ 9;43 P December 17 EXPECT ME DECEMBER 19 ON 6:40 TRAIN CHEERIO Jane February 14, 1931 Dear John, I ' ve missed you quite a lot since you got the swell New York job. I ' ve no one with whom to plough the muddy way to Tea Tavern now; no one who takes me to Hartwell and chicken dinners. College, however, with that one lack (not the chicken dinners — you) is much the same. Exams and ski-pants were the two outstanding changes apparent after Christmas. To my mind ski-pants are the worse affliction. I can scarcely believe that it ' s been over a month since I left home and Christmas vacation behind. (Shades of letters of an ingenue!) Classes are meeting in the new Ad building (Hetty H. R. Green Hall to you and you and you) ; seniors and freshmen alike wander the corridors of Founders and Green Hall with hunted expressions, trying desperately to find 200 and something Founders. Ramrod members of faculty and administration alike unbent for Tradition Night, just before exams. The Event occurs once in four years, and serves to prove to each college generation that teachers are just great, big, grown-up children, after all! We went early, taking sandwiches, and sitting firmly in fourth row seats for two hours before the performance, despite cravings for cigarettes. Miss Balderston as lovely Betsinda eluded the amorous approaches of old Valoroso (Miss Johnson) and was saved in the end by valiant Hedzoff (Mr. Zigler). Altogether the fantasy was fantastic enough to delight Thackeray and all of us good Wellesley girls. Exams, since then, have come and gone, with their accompanying nightmares, leaving us none the worse for all our cries of woe. New classes started on the ninth — we ' ll have a breathing spell 189 now for a week or so. Last night, with no studying to do, I went to the Winter Carnival on Tower Court Hill, which our class. Til have you know with a burst of school spirit, won. Bobby Trask was one of the main reasons for ' 32 ' s victory — her skiing was unbelievably good. I ' m going to try a little skiing in my own inimitable way next week ' end up at Jaffray. We ' ve a holiday Monday (mirabile dictu) and our crowd is taking advantage of the long week-end for some intensive winter sporting. Wish you were going to be up there with us, though with your influence aggravating my natural laziness, I ' d probably spend all my time sitting peacefully in front of a fire- place, never once catching sight of a ski. Do write to me soon, Johnny. And tell me all. As ever, Jane March 8, 1931 Mother dear. Many, many thanks for the cake you included in my laundry case last week. It was a thing of the past ' ere it came to light. I wrote you, I think, that the Model League of Nations was to come off at Wellesley last week- end. I ' m sure Geneva is not more exciting. Mary Losey and Florence Smith, important on the plat- form, seemed to be in charge of the Wellesley end of affairs. Mary, by the way, had her picture taken shaking hands with a Hindu, so you ' ll probably see Wellesley publiciz;ed again in the Mid- week Pictorial, under the caption, Hands across the Sea. I don ' t believe I ' ve ever told you about seeing Mary Wigman dance. It was an unforgettable experience — she is easily the foremost dancer of the age. Her idea is to make of the dance an entirely independent art, no longer an interpretation of music. Some of her dances were almost breathtaking m their loveliness. Spring vacation dates, I have finally ascertained, are March 28 to April 8. Thanks again for the swell cake, mum, and write me. I ' m going to put envelopes m my mailbox as decoys. Love to you all, Jane March 18, 1931 Dear family. The even tenor of Wellesley ways has been resumed after one of the most exciting days in the college ' s history yesterday. The seventeenth of March, as every good little Wellesley girl knows, IS the anniversary of the Great Fire in College Hall. (The year was 1914, which also saw the begin- ning of a war, you will remember.) Since the new Ad building represents the culmination of seven- teen years of work to rebuild the college after the Fire, the whole college joined in celebration of the visibly completed New Wellesley yesterday, beginning by tearing down the old wooden structure which has served as Administration building for many a year. What a really determined bunch of females, bent on destruction, can accomplish, was demonstratjd at the old chicken coop yesterday. Graduates and faculty members joined with all us savages in breaking windows and rifling offices. Chapel was beautiful — duplication of its l7-year ago predecessor. A bonfire in the evening, in which the boards of the Ad building went up in smoke (symbolic enough for anyone), concluded the day. Major officers for next year were announced just before the big event. K. Kirby and Viv Grady are Barn; Mary Liz Wheeler, C. G.; Hortense Landiuer, News; Jane Adair, A. A.; Mary Mac Norton, C.A.; and Cornelia Robison, Head of Judish. They ' ll awe next year ' s freshmen just as Virginia Onderdonk and her cohorts awed us so many years ago. I ' ll be happy to get home to late breakfasts, though I ' ll probably be a gibbering idiot by the time I step off the train — I have so much work to do between now and vacation. Love, Jane 190 Dear Aunt Sophronia, June 10, 1931 Thank you so much for remembering me with a graduation present this year. It happens that I ' m looking forward to another year at Wellesley, but I ' m glad you made the mistake, anyway, for I love the perfume bottle, and, with your permission, I shall keep it as my next year ' s present. You ' d hardly know your Alma Mater now. Aunt Sophronia; when you next come back to the States, you ' ll see an entirely new Wellesley, as far as buildings go, anyway. We ' ve had loads of fun at school this spring. Do you remember how unbelievably beautiful the campus is in May, when the lake is blue and ripply, and a million little flowers appear on its banks? Canoeing on the lake has been one of our chief diversions since April — that and riding in senior cars, which come into their own at Wellesley only after Easter vacation now. This year there were only 48 cars on campus, as compared with the 92 endangering life and limb last year. Junior Prom was a modernistic success, thanks to diligent workers. I had one of the home-products — my favorite — up for the week-end, and he swore that Prom surpassed all his expectations. Under pressure he admitted it surpassed his highest hopes. You mentioned the pictures m newspapers of this year ' s hoop-rolling on May Day. I was glad to hear that you won the race for your year — my fondest hope is that I can uphold the family honor. May Day had to be cut short this year because of its nearness to Tree Day, which in turn was moved up because of the GENERAL, Wellesley ' s latest TRADITION. I took your advice and signed up for a society, and am enjoying the work and the companionship a lot. Our society presidents for next year were announced the other day — Ruthie Danner, Betty Keith, Mary Heiss, Marion Hadlock, Sally Jaeger, and Dorothy Davis. I wonder if Senior Academic Council was an institution when you were here. Aunt Sophronia? We hsd spasms of mirth while recognizing the peculiarities of our friends and enemies on the faculty at the secret Council meeting the Class of ' 31 put on. I ' m already looking forward to our own Senior Council, when I ' ll be revenged for three years of hard work! Float Night, came on the 15th of May and was a representation of Arthurian Romance. The floats were particularly beautiful this year, I thought. Our class, incidentally, won the races. Float Night was Friday, Tree Day the next day with Marjory Reed, Tree Day Mistress, as Symphony. The whole colorful pageant was designed to show the gradual evolution of music from the earliest rhythmic beats to the complicated orchestrations of today. I wish you could have been here to see it. Aunt Sophronia — and hope that you will be able to come for some of the festivities next year. Thanks again for the perfume bottle — I do adore it, and I shall be just as grateful for it next June as I am now. . Love, Jane Dear Mother, October 7, 1931 There ' s a new road on Central Street, there are new shops in the Vil, there ' s a new Zoo building in use, but by and large I found the same Wellesley I left last June. There is only one striking dif- ference — the number of girls who are to be seen on campus over week-ends. Quarantine has seen to it that sixteen hundred girls stay in the germ-free atmosphere of Wellesley until such time as cold weather breaks the infantile paralysis epidemic. Wellesley is being rediscovered by many a confirmed week-ender; one may see Copley tea-dance regulars on their way around Lake Waban almost any Saturday afternoon. Last Saturday P.M. I went to the first Poet ' s Reading, and was much interested in what Robert Hillyer had to say about Amy Lowell, who was a personal friend of his. He gave her poems sym- pathetic reading, and sound interpretation. We shall be trekking to Boston after October 15, according to notices on all the bulletin boards. No news till then — getting back into the swing of classes has been the extent of my activities. Love, Jane 191 November 5, 1931 Dear Dad, Your surprise to hear that I have not been elected to the honorable order of Phi Beta Kappa will, no doubt, be — small. Not even upon the list of Wellesley scholars, whose marks are not to be snickered at, do I come. Did I write you about the chapel commemorating the 20th anniversary of Miss Pendleton ' s presidency of Wellesley? An academic parade was called on short notice — and a throng turned out to honor Prez Pen. In high collars, caps, and gowns we marched to the chapel, where Mrs. Atkinson spoke about the years Miss Pendleton has devoted to the realization of a New Wellesley. Miss Pendleton ' s answer was brief and very gracious — she pointed out that her work could never have been accomplished had it not been for the loyal co ' operaticn of both faculty and students, adminis ' tration and alumnae. Speaking of caps and gowns, as I did, if you happen to remember, we spent practically the whole first week here trying them on. I thought I was going to make a beautiful Sweet G. G. till Marie wickedly informed me that I looked like Dracula m my robe. It ' s a thrill to appear in the insignia of seniority even though I don ' t feel quite equal to it intellectually. My Legenda pictures aren ' t bad. I ' m sending them home, as I want your opinion before I order. Please let me know which you like best: the large grinny one, or the small wistful one, or perhaps the toothy one. Day after tomorrow is Fall Field Day — and judging by today ' s indications we should make a good showing. The seniors won the crew competition, while I cheered madly, imbued by a class spirit both novel and pleasing. I ' ve always loved crew races. Much love to you all — and tell everyone hello! Jane November 19, 1931 Dear Sis, The urge to write you is upon me — that urge which comes but once a year. Right in line with your recent venture into the clothing business was a highly successful fashion show held at Alumnae tonight at one quarter ($0.25) per head, for the benefit of charity, bien entendu. Fraser the Florist, I. Miller the Footist, and Stuart the Stylist put it on, aided by college girls as models. They had some swell things (with swell prices attached) to show their huge .audience. I should think some ' thing like that would go over at the University. Take the idea, sis, or leave it, and see if I care. Miss Ida Tarbell was a guest at the college day before yesterday, lecturing on the Vocational Aspects of Literary Work. I was glad to hear her recommend journalism as a good start for more serious endeavors, for, my dear, the hard facts of life are bearing down upon me. Although I ' ve had enough of the academic to last me for quite a spell I ' ll hate like the dickens not to come back here next fall. You know, the place ' U get you if you fail to wear a dinner jacket every night, Trevel ' yan! My love to you, your husband and child, Jane December 3, 1931 Dear Mother, I ' ve been having a swell time lately, neglecting work which should be done. I feel I should tell you that I ' ve been procrastinating so that you can write and scold me about it. Your conscience will then be clear, while mine will be pricked into a functional state once again. Do you follow my somewhat tortuous intellection? The Harvard ' Yale game was great; as you can imagine, I was mightily pleased at the outcome. I won some dollars on the game, which will help my dwindUng allowance, after betting against Harvard all season, this year of all years. 192 What with Thanksgiving week-end following I ' ve been going strong. Classes, of necessity, were well attended on Friday and Saturday, but campus, what I saw of it, was peculiarly deserted at other hours. John came up from New York, bringing his usual line of paternal advice to young girls. I am rapidly becoming an Alumnae bridge-fiend, too. Will you please, please write me something that will put a stop to my sudden, if not unprecedented, lazy spell? And you can make speeches to me about it on the 18th, hurray. Jane December 10, 1931 Dear family, This is the last letter you ' ll have from me before vacation, as unfinished papers galore are staring me in the face. I can ' t seem to remember what ' s been happening. Oh, yes, Barn play was a huge success last week-end. They did something real this time with Molnar ' s Swan. The whole play had an almost professional finish; Vicky Eisenberg and Lucy Tompkins were splendid. I wished I had asked someone to come, but no, I stagged that night. Mother, I absolutely must have some clothes — I haven ' t a decent rag to wear. When I unpack my trunk, I ' ll have to make three piles of my clothes, such as they are: (1) For the Laundress, (2) For the Cleaners, (3) To Be Thrown Away. On which sad note I end, with love, Jane January 24, 1932 Dear family. Well ye wot that my letters have been dry as dust, that the Wellesleyan scene has furnished no scintillating material for letters since the Yuletide. The scene is changed, now, verily. I have some news which will knock you for a loop. Wellesley has gone war-time, Wellesley has gone world- minded, Wellesley has gone mad — Wellesley, as someone unhappily said, is a school for knit-wits. To take the thing up chronologically, a special issue of the Hews appeared on January 20, yellow in color and bitter in tone. The sheet called upon Wellesley to mobilize, to appear at Alumnae for a mass-meeting on the following day — last Thursday — to discuss what Wellesley could DO about the unemployed. At the meeting several plans were adopted, none of which entail added expense to our fathers! First and foremost, Wellesley is knitting 500 sweaters — to go to MiUviIle soon. We are to have Poverty dinners in all of the dormitories, too, and the amount the college saves will be added to a sum to which all college organizations will contribute. Just how we will be able to distinguish the poverty dinners from the regular ones is past my ken. Alumnae, by the way, is the scene of fewer bridge games now than ever before — one simply cannot knit, smoke, and bid intelligently at the same time. I must to bed. Let me know, please, whether or not you approve my proposed trip to New York after exams, which begin the 2nd and end the 12th. Much love, Jane February 24, 1932 Dearest John, We ' ve done pretty well on the past two week-ends, it seems to me. I shan ' t forget Mourning Becomes Electra very soon, nor your sliding down the hill at Nashua with your skis trailing on behind. You have ability m that line, John, real ability. Glad you approved of Prom. I thought it was grand myself despite the early hours — Camilla did a splendid job. Cheer up, old thing, these are some of the compensations for being unemployed. I ' ll continue this at the lecture tonight.

Much love, Jane ? 195 Junior Year in France Eleven members of the Class of 1932 are said to have taken the Junior Year in France; it would be more accurate to say that the Junior Year in France had taken them. When one is born in America it is not hard to like wild mountain scenery, eat apple pie, and smile at the accent of the Carolinas. But imagine the inward journey which was accomplished before eleven Americans woke up to find themselves instinctively entranced by formal French gardens, yearning for snails, and raising a Parisien eyebrow at the sound of a voice from Marseilles. Within a year each of us became somebody else who was almost French. This insidious kidnapping process started in Lorraine. Without warning we were locked up in Nancy and told to live like provincial French girls. The first reaction to la province was an em- phatic American No! The second was a very polite reasonable Mais, oui. During three months the atmosphere of Lorraine surrounded us. This is the rampart province, the bastion of the East, where Gallo-Latin culture has pushed back the invading German for fifteen hundred years. This is the province whence come the defenders of France: Jeanne d ' Arc, Marshal Ney, Poincaire. Here, near the battlefields of Toul and Verdun and not far from heroic Domremy, it is not strange that the national consciousness of France should have invaded us. Nancy and Lorraine were an introduction to the most serious French virtues : the sense of national unity and social solidarity, austere economy, rigid morality. At the same time, no city is a more charming example of the light grace, the sophisti- cated elegance of French taste than Nancy !a belle which boasts a Renaissance ducal palace and the most beautiful eighteenth century architectural ensemble m France, save perhaps the Place de la 196 Concorde. When we came up to Paris for the opening of the Sorbonne in November we arrived with a double soul : one was American, the other that of a young French provincial, somewhat stifled by the atmosphere of the severe provincial bourgeoisie, but bringing to the capital that strong national loyalty that only close contact with the province can give. It is impossible to talk about the winter in Paris as a whole, because every day brought some- thing new. The only consistent factor was the rainy mist which delicately veiled the city for almost eight months and which made its discovery even more exciting. The quarter of the Sorbonne made us feel like the inheritors of those medieval clerks who sat on the Mont St. Genevieve to listen to Abelard. The name of every street recalled to us the times when students came to Paris by nations. Every day we walked through the street of the Students of Poitiers and the street of the Irish students. Every morning we walked past the convent from which Victor Hugo had taken his convent of Petit Picpus for Les Miserables. Under the austere aegis of the eagle-eyed Cardinal himself, we heard courses in the Amphitheatre Richelieu of the Sorbonne. And on the Mont Sainte- Genevieve we knew again the feeling of being in not only the citadel of letters, but in the Gallo- Latin citadel where French clarity had repulsed the invading barbarian in the person of Saint Gene- vieve and where it will continue to dominate a whole attitude in European thought. Yet that was only a fraction of the story. A step from the quarter of the Sorbonne lay the Odeon with its brilliant Eighteenth century memories of the Cafe Voltaire. A step in another direction and one was at the Val-de-Grace and thought of the swash-buckling beginnings of the seventeenth century and Spanish intrigues and Anne of Austria. And toward the river lay Saint-Leverin and Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre and Notre Dame herself, all the ancient churches which make France the eldest daughter of Mother Church. We were only ten minutes from cosmopolitan Montparnasse, we walked to the Louvre, and any morning might find us strolling in the Luxembourg in the shadows of the Queens of France. We lived with French families, all kinds of French families. Republicans, Royalists, uprooted Alsatians full of great stories of 1870 and transplanted Russians still trembling over 1917- We were introduced to all sorts of cuisines and the wines and cheeses of every province. And so French a consciousness was grafted upon us that when we drank cider, it was as if we saw the sunlight of ten imaginary summers passed in the orchards or on the beaches of Normandy. Living out of dormi- tories and m the thick of family life we realized how much there is to be gained from close contact with older people. Through the fathers and grandfathers of our French contemporaries, we knew the France of the Dreyfus case, of the idolatry of Victor Hugo, of the Operettas ' of Meilhac and Halevy. Many of them had seen the famous cafes of the Symbolists, the Black Cat and the Clo- serie des Lilas in the days when Paul Fort, Prince of Poets had acclaimed his verses to a whole generation in revolt against materialism and penetrated with the mysterious beauty of Wagner and Mallarme. It should only be said that the Juniors in France knew Paris not only as the center of French civilization but as the capital of the continent. They came into contact with students of every country of the world, from Austria, Scandinavia, the Far East, and tried to develop an international understanding. Paradoxically, they learned at the same time the essential meaning of citizenship in the Republique Frangaise, and in the United States; which is the first step in becoming citizens of the world. — Sylvia Glass 197 Junior Year in Spain We had always thought Spaniards phlegmatic, and we were thoroughly confirmed in our opinion when the Spanish ship m which we embarked took thirteen days to go from New York to Barcelona. But at Madrid we soon found out that being slow about everyday affairs — no self-respecting Iberian really gets under way before eleven A.M. or considers an evening complete if it ends before four A.M. — does not mean that under proper conditions of regal oppression they will not react most vigorously. It was a great shock to us Wellesleyites, used to the unfailing regularity and punctuality of our American professors, to find one day that our Spanish University had suddenly ceased to function. We would doubtless think the skies were falling if tomorrow Bill were to meet us at Hetty Green at eight-forty and drive us away. Our surprise was no less intense when one day last fall we trudged to our twelve-thirty class in history to find the door barred by policemen whose duty it was to keep students away. The trouble was that the students of republican inclinations were in the majority, and had chosen to manifest their political preferences by rioting and refusing to attend classes. Here was a whole group of students risking the loss of a year ' s study just to show Alfonso that they did not like him. What happened was that after various strikes the professors held classes outside the University which the students attended, so that to all practical purposes the University was still functioning. There is no doubt, however, that it was a noble gesture and indicative of the deep interest students take in national affairs. It took on a more serious aspect than that of a gesture in the spring, however, when one member of the School of Medicine was killed in a riot with the police. 198 We were always kept out of bullet range, however. Most of our classes being special courses for foreigners, kept bravely on, and the political situation would have affected us very little had the republican opposition been confined to the student movement. But other people chose to strike as well, so that we were occasionally deprived of our beloved cafes, taxis, movies — luxuries which we thought we could permit ourselves as a reward for our clever financial speculation. The peseta was rather changeable last year, so we would watch the exchange eagerly for days before having our precious dollars changed, and usually take the decisive step when the rate was to our greatest dis ' advantage ! Perhaps my simile with reference to Bill conveyed some idea of the situation to you, but I am afraid my fellow sojourners m Spam would criticise it. The tall bewhiskered gentlemen in George Washington hats with the royal arms on their collars whom we saw stationed on foot or on horse- back at all the important buildings and squares during the strikes would be difficult to imagine using Bill as a starting point. And if you began with Hetty Green to picture the University of Madrid you would never arrive. The latter resembles a prison, being a perfectly plain, dirty-grey building wedged in between slovenly shops m a narrow crowded street. In fact the actual prison a few doors away resembles it almost exactly on the outside. I was not, however one of those ill-fated students who came to know what the inside of the prison looks like, but I am well acquainted with the inside of the University, which is beyond all consideration from an artistic viewpoint. It is built around a typical sunny Spanish garden, but the point seems to be to keep the garden a secret since none of the windows open out on it. In fact windows are for the most part lacking, and where they do exist are high and small, so that a general gloom pervades deepened by clouds of smoke rising from the ever- present canary cigarettes. The classes themselves are rarities. Here we have unlimited cuts (so they say); there one might almost say a limited attendance was forced upon you. It was useless to attend the history class, for example, more than once out of the three meetings a week, class being simply a series of examinations which one took as one felt equal to them, all information having been acquired without the aid of the professor. A teacher ' s paradise, no less. Our classmates were mainly fresh, but well-meaning, enthusiastic, and earnest boys, and a few attractive, up-to-date girls. It was with the latter that we lived in the so-called Residencia, a kind of home for girl students from the provinces. Up-to-date as a description of the average Spanish girl may need modification. Her skirts were still shorter than the mode, her hair still bobbed, and her stockings more orange in color than is strictly aesthetic, but she is very modern compared with the traditional figure m flowing skirts, high comb, and mantilla. This creature of romance appears only on festive occasions, especially at carnival. The girls of the Residsncia may b; a little heavier than we like, but we were still very alike m essential aims and interests. Perhaps they are a bit behind us, however — they have just succeeded in achieving a smoking room. — Helen McLaughlin 199 Junior Prom Committee Mary Maxwell Norton Elizabeth Barth Louise Seedenburg Elisabeth Brackett Vivian Grady .

After a great invasion of men Friday morning and afternoon, the Class of 1932, decked in all its glory, dined at Claflin, Tower, and Severance. Prom itself began at nine in the Alumnae ball room. Betty Granger and her partner led the grand march which the veteran onlookers of the other classes watched with enthusiasm and admiration often too audible for the savoir faire of those concerned. The decorations represented the skyline of New York, while mysterious magenta lights played havoc with gowns and complexions. Miss Pendleton, Miss Waite, and Mrs. Ewing stood in the receiving line with the class officers. Miss Christian, Miss Williams, Professor and Mrs. Cecil Jane, and Professor and Mrs. Campbell chaperoned the dance. Earl Car- penter ' s orchestra supplied the music which kept us dancing till two. On Saturday the social whirl continued. While some of us slept and others bravely took their men to classes, most of us did attend the tea-dance in the great hall of Tower Court. In the evening at Alumnae Hall, the Wesleyan Paint and Powder Club presented Lousdale ' s Aren ' t We All which was followed by dancing. 201 Senior Prom Committee Camilla Wells Louise Canfield Priscilla Place Martha Manly Barbara Vail .

Brief but joyous, ss we look back upon it. The coldest Saturday in February witnessed a gradual immigration of men. The societies held open house in the afternoon while James Keniston ' s orchestra at Agora attracted those who wanted to dance. Tower Court and Severance were turned over to the seniors and their guests for dinner. At half past eight our last formal social event as a class was initiated by the impressive grand march led by Libby Kaiser and her partner. Miss Pendleton, Miss Coolidge, Mrs. Ewmg, Miss Christian stood in the receiving line with the class officers, while Mrs. Chadderdon, Mrs. Wheelwright, Professor and Mrs. Ehrensperger, and Dr. and Mrs. Wellman chaperoned the dance. A bold black and white color scheme, carried out in table decorations and in balloons hinging from the ceiling, transformed the dignity of Alumnae Hall into the abandon of a Harlem night club. Dancing, to the music of the Merry Madcaps, lasted until midnight when supper was served. 203 vS? -? r;K?5?Kp tasw ' y May Day Initiated into the white joys of May Day morning as observers of the wild race down Tower Hill, we felt more at home in baby costume at the County Fair. But we knew how important and grown-up the freshman class really was when Al Albot reached up to crown Fran. When our turn came to sit on the Hill and sing to the seniors, we devised an ambitious scheme, in honor of 1930, of transforming the numerals into a racing shell. Such was our zeal that we presented a boat clearly recognizable m all its eight oars. The Nottingham Fair that afternoon was attended by a group of Robin Hood characters, and even trees, from Sherwood Forest, which added charming local at- mosphere (or so Trask, McCormick, Link, Burt, Marcy, and Adell thought.) For three years we have watched the seniors practice their hoop-rolling, with condescending pity. But now it is our turn to amuse the college with a complete departure from our usual dignity and stateliness and to find whose fleetness entitles her to the claim of being the first wed of the class. 205 Float Night The Class of 1932 has followed the precedent of earlier classes in the type of subject for Float Night. In past years we have been charmed by scenes from Alice in Wonderland, the Niebelun- genlied, and the Idylls of the King, while we close our undergraduate programs with the uni ' versally favorite story, Peter Pan. The committee has made a change this year in its methods of selecting floats. While the chairman formerly appointed certain girls to design the floats, this season the choice will be only after a contest open to all. The designer of the best float will be given a prize while the other successful floats will be presented on Float Night. Since the contest is not yet over at the time of going to press, the scenes to be depicted and the designers of the floats cannot be given here. The Committee Barbara Trask, ' 32 .

Chairman of Fireworks 2G7 Tree Day During our first three years of college we have seen Tree Day programs portray the gorgeousiiess of the court of Kubia Kahn, the modern machine age, and the beauty of symphony. Since, in our four years of academic life, the historical habit of tracing a development through the ages has been thoroughly instilled in us, and because the recent death of Edison has emphasized one of the most striking and important aspects of the Age of Electricity, our 1932 Tree Day depicts the various stages in man ' s use of light. The plan is to represent light in the physical sense and also symbolically as knowledge. Utter darkness, sunrise driving out the night, and the two-edged gift of wild, un- controlled fire, are the themes of the early dances. The more regular rhythms of the next dances represent man ' s growing power of directing the abstract force into such useful forms as torches and lamps. The discovery of electricity reintroduces the hectic chaos of aimless force, the mark of a transitional and undeveloped stage. Then the Tree Day Mistress with her aides comes with stately tread across the green, personifying the spirit of control, man ' s mastery over light. Her pre sence, bringing a marked change in the tempo and character of the dance, strikes the keynote of the pro- gram, orderly control over a titanic force.
