| ‘ % Nae, Diverse and widespread changes at Wheaton have given rise to the question, have the girls changed, too? After all, Wheaton is its students. The answer is yes, they have changed, and no, they are unchanged. Warmly friendly, thoughtful, courteous, genuine and loyal—they are the same Wheaton girls I have always known. More responsible to meet the challenge of ever-increasing freedoms, more conscious of the need of facing social inequalities, more certain of the value of the tools of learning, they are more maturely able to cope with an insecure world. Leota Carolene Colpitts A.B., A.M. Dean of Students

PLLA ODL ERE LE SLE SABE — a : ee : os i we Seas Walter James Kenworthy A.B., A.M., Ph.D. Dean of the College Our world changes so rapidly now that many of us have come to resent change as such. We all agree that a flexible mind is an essential attribute for anyone who wants to live comfortably in this world. Of course, complete flexibility is never achieved by anyone, but fortunately is not really desirable. Your professors have shown you the ways in which schol- ars deal with both new and old ideas, and they have encouraged you to prac- tice these methods. I hope that you will neither be fright- ened by novelty nor infatuated with it. Be comfortable with your own views and evaluate each new thing. Never be afraid to accept or reject any new idea or method. Your class has been successful in preserving the traditions of the College during its period of greatest change. I have no fears for your future.
