Wellesley College - Legenda Yearbook (Wellesley, MA)

Page 25 text:

This year has been one of expansion for the Wellesle) literary magazine, Review. In addition to short stories, essays, and poetry from the composi- tion elasses, Review has made a speeial at tempi to include free work done bv students, critical articles written especially for us, facult) articles, and something on the current situation written by a member of Forum. Aided by a contest, a new cover was designed, and the make-up of the page changed. It would not have been possible to effect these changes without the closest cooperation between the literary staff, which selects the material and lays out the book; the art board, which takes care of the illustrations, cartoons, and publicity posters; and the business board, which handles subscriptions, advertising, and circulation. 3 M £( L£U Review Editorial Board: Jean Barkin; Dorothy Bauer: Nancy Borden; Barbara Chandler; Nancy Chisler; Clara Cohen: Elizabeth Hart:; Sally Hays; Joan Hubel; Catherine Lawrence; Char- lotte Lazarus; Jean Lehman; Harriet Mills; Elizabeth Schwartz; Barbara Swan; Zaruhi Zulalian.

We decided not to be, and that is one reason whv Legenda has taken a rejuvenating tonic and burst forth into plaid. In recent years, several magazines have proved successfullv that pictures can be used to convey information with little explanatory printing. We thought — what could be better than pictures to recall to your minds four years at Wellesley? So we, too, have made a change, an artistic one, we think. Setting these pictures in a larger book, we have tried to do them more justice bv accenting them with color. These changes may make Legenda seem different, but we hope you like it as well. 20

To o-tum During the last decade, current events have become increasingly important to the world at large. Paralleling this trend, Forum has become increasingly important to Welleslev College, for it is, in a measure, responsible for keeping the members of the college abreast of the times. It is an organization to which everyone here belongs. Aided bv a faculty advisor, a board of students determines its activities. Each year, the board plans and executes, with the help of the college, programs dealing with political and economic affairs of the day. It procures outstanding speakers for din- ners and lectures, sponsors student discussion groups, debates with other colleges, and cooperates with members of the faculty in offering series of related lectures. High spots of the last campaign season were a mock convention and a mock election, complete with torchlight parades and rabble-rousing speeches. Forum attempts to be impartial and non-partisan. In line with this policy, it sponsored, before the recent presidential election, speeches by members of the three major political parties. It was fortunate in procuring for this event one of the presidential candidates, Norman Thomas, leader of the Socialist Party. Forum aims to give members not only an intelligent knowledge of present-day events, but some understanding of the antecedents of these events, insofar as they can be ascertained.
