“If you are concerned about helping your daughter prepare for the multiple roles she will play in the future, here is why a liberal arts women’s college is the wise choice.” “The young woman entering college today requires an educational setting which focuses on change. As women’s roles, opportunities and op- tions proliferate, it is no longer ap- propriate to educate women in the same way as in the past nor to push them into a mold designed for men. Traditionally, women have been ex- pected to be less risk-taking and to take less responsibility for their lives than men, but that is no longer prac- tical. At Wheaton College we con- centrate on nurturing those values which can best prepare women for an exciting but complex and uncertain future. Wheaton is a college which cares about the future — the future of women, of men, and of our society. “A supportive environment is crucial to the needs of women concerned about life in the 21st century. Wheaton’s primary commitment is to provide a quality education which will allow women to take leadership roles in response to future needs. Sex stereotyping with respect to academic fields of study is absent. Women models showing a variety of lifestyle patterns are present. And the expec- tation of meaningful work is em- phasized. Here, women are taken seriously as scholars. Leadership op- portunities abound and psychological support helps to create self-pride, in- dependence and affirmation of self- ALICE F. EMERSON, President WHEATON COLLEGE Norton, Massachusetts worth. Helping our students to find their own special strengths and dis- cover what they really want to do is what we are about. “A liberal arts education is fun- damental to the development of in- dividuals who can cope successfully with constant change. Liberal arts studies are crucial to the development of humane values and critical sen- sibilities. Our task is to teach as much as we are able about the necessary universe to be surveyed — about how to define problems and about pos- sibilities which will allow the solving of problems. We are not training for ‘the first job’ — for your daughter may someday be engaged in a career or activities which do not now exist! “A smaller student body permits close faculty student relationships. Going to Wheaton means lots of hard work, independent study and close relationships with caring teachers who help each person to increase competence and confidence. Faculty advisers and career counselors work with each student to design a four- year academic program suited to in- dividual interests and long-term plans. As a result of the close ties and mutual respect which develop, many of our students get the opportunity to participate in research and other projects with their teachers. Appearing in October in Pittsburgh, Houston and Dallas. “Wheaton’s career exploration in- ternship program encourages testing talents and pioneering new profes- sional territory. To interface with the acquisition of sound academic knowl- edge and skills, Wheaton offers an internship program which gives your daughter the opportunity to leave the campus during January break to work in a medical lab, art gallery, law office, tv station, government agency — the possibilities are endless, the avenues exciting, and the chance to work with or around women in as many different fields as possible expands aspiration levels. “As for going to college in New England, it is a uniquely invigorat- ing experience. The profusion of col- leges, cultural events, libraries and other professional resources within 40 minutes of our doorstep makes our area an unusually rewarding one. The Wheaton bus plies the routes to Bos- ton and Provi dence twice a day giving Wheaton students the double advan- tage of urban enrichment and rural campus beauty.

PRESIDENT ALICE FREY EMERSON “Ten years ago women were really struggling with that issue of career versus marriage, that’s not really an issue for young women now. It’s how they can mix it.” “Co-education has the normal stereotypes and offers women no new roles, and we must prepare women for new roles. They are no longer staying at home as wives. Society accepts the fact that women work to earn money, sometimes to send children to college, but women stay after the need is gone. The working woman is a fact; 40 percent of all women work.” re a ee Say
