As president and friend of Western College, Dr. Ralph Kiddoo Hickok commands the respect and admiration of all of us. As head of the ad- ministration, Dr. Hickok serves Western with unfailing energy and sincerity. No one of us stands more steadfastly for Western and for all the traditions which have grown up around it in its eighty-five year existence than he. He is constantly aware of the highest aims for which the college is striving. We are proud of the pro- gress we have made under his leadership. THE PRESIDENT

Alumnae Hall, the second building to be erected on the campus was a gift of alumnae, non-graduates, trustees, and friends. A momentous event in the school's history took place in 1894 when the name was changed from Western Female Seminary to The Western College. In the next year bacca- laureate degrees were given for the first time. Just before the turn of the century, Peabody Hall was no longer large enough to accommodate the student body. Two cottages located across the road from the campus were used for the overflow students. To meet the needs of these students McKee Hall was built and used for the first time in 1904. Sawyer Gymnasium was added to the college in 1913. In 1914, the year the Honor Society was formed, the col- lege received Patterson Place, today the president's home, as a gift. During this period Kumler Chapel was built to lend still more beauty and dignity to the campus. Mary Lyon Hall was added in 1925. Ten years ago the newest of the Western buildings, Presser Hall, was dedicated. So Western College stands today, a vital reality or a cher- ished memory to all those who know her. PEABODY HALL fri..

THE .YOCl!Il DHIN For all of us Dean Tappan typifies the many ideals for which Western stands. Her council and understanding are given readily and without partiality to each and every one of us. In her capacity as Dean of Women she gives us week- end and late permissionsg she is always well-informed on every Western activity and tradition. But it is not for these that we shall remember Miss Tappan. We shall remember a warm smile, a true friend. There is not a student who will not feel a loss when Miss Tappan leaves behind her present duties as Social Dean, not a student who will not welcome her in her new capacity as Academic Dean. For in whatever position she may be, we know we shall find the same keen judgment, the same quick wit, the same Miss Tappan. ANNA HELEN TAPPAN Ph.D. BBN at
