Wellesley College - Legenda Yearbook (Wellesley, MA)

' - PREFACE THE Legenda of our Class of 1933 is a record of our achievements as a unit in the great college community. But such an account must necessarily include in its dramatic pages the tale not only of our four eventful years, but that, too, of the growth and development of the college during that time. We have seen the rise of new buildings on our campus, the rise of new ideas in our classrooms, and we have heard outsiders speak of a new Wellesley. But we, who have seen this development and have really been a part of it, realize that what the outsiders say is not altogether true. In edifices both of stone and thought the college has changed, but in spirit it remains ever the same. And so we of 1933, in loving recognition of that Wellesley spirit which never dies, recount our four years in this place as the recital not merely of happy events, but also of our fulfill- ment of those traditions which most express Wellesley ' s timeless beauty and inspiration.

BARNSWALLOWS ' RECEPTION QMONG the many means of welcoming Freshmen, a reception by Barn has become an established custom. Long before the new auditorium provided its infinitely modern equipment, the Barn President welcomed the Freshmen from the stage of that other theatre which really was a Barn, Dower House. The organization, its joys and possibilities, was intro- duced and a play played itself out before eyes that were shining with excitement, while many Freshmen hearts made vows that their owners would walk Barn boards or help to put on Barn plays. Till this day Freshmen attend in awe and delight; and through four years of college follow the vicissitudes of the Dramatic organ- ization with loyalty and interest.
