W[[1[SI[! «[[l[8l[l I HIS YEARBOOK has attempted to portray the students of Wellesley as they are, at work and at play. But it can remain only an attempt, for the complexities of life at college cannot be recorded in one short book. Each student will have different memories of life at Wellesley, but the 1947 Legenda is dedicated to all the students in the hope that each one can find within these pages some small reminder of her college years.

If no two students complete their college careers having acquired, consciously or unconsciously, quite the same benefits, it is nonetheless certain that every graduate has learned one thing: the mysterious answer to all things which, in secondary school, seemed to lie just beyond the threshold of these four college years, is not to be found in the pursuit of a Bachelor ' s degree, nor — in all likelihood — any- where else. This disillusionment, which might be expected as early as Freshman year, almost never presents itself then. For it is thought that beyond the confines of required English Comp., in the realm of the upper classmen, the vital answer will be found. With Sophomore year comes the usual slump, and an intuition — hardly recognizable — of the dis- illusionment to come. But the fact that one has not yet entered her major field induces the belief that the answer lies somehow in the work that follows. At the beginning of Junior year the eager antici- pation of becoming an authority in the field of one ' s choice forestalls the disillusionment. But with the Senior year, as graduation draws nearer and nearer, and the field one had thought to conquer grows wider and more beyond reach, there is, quite suddenly it seems, an awakening to the knowledge that the answer is not here, that in all probability the final answer is not anywhere, but always to be sought after. However much more may be learned from college, that is enough.
