There is op- portunity for placement not only in private practice but also in trust departments and I think a woman is more empathetic to the various personal problems which ensue in this area.

On going to law school without serious intention to practice, I feel strongly on this subject with reference to any professional course of study for women. I do not believe that with roday's competition for graduate "The professional schools are education any woman should take a place in an educational set up to turn. out professionals, institution without such intent. By doing so such a person not dilettantes." (Maas ) nor only deprives another of a place, bur also vitiates the cause of other women who wish to be accepted in such an institution. The professional schools are set up to turn Out professionals, nor dilettantes, and if the schools themselves get the impression that women are wasting their education they are less and less likely to accept them on a parity with men on whom they can count to follow through seriously. I have one piece of advice. The girl who goes to law school must face the fact that she may have to give up a great deal of social activity because of concentrated study. Once out of law school, I feel the days when women lawyers were looked upon as strange beings have gone and that most women lawyers are evaluated on their own merits. • Ruth Rusch Sheppe '40 majored in economics and business administration, then attended George Washington Uni- versity Law School. After being admitted to practice, she worked for the National Labor Relations Board as a Review Attorney and later as an Adjudicator with the Veterans Administration. Although she has not practiced law since her marriage (to a lawyer), she says her legal training has made her far more aware of her rights as a householder. She thinks there are many more opportunities for legal work for women today, particularly in "My legal training has made me the government where there are jobs for women law graduates far more aware of my rights as which are both legal and administrative. a householder."

The right to bail is thought CO be funda- mental to the presumption of innocence; no man is to be imprisoned until proven guilty. Unfortunately, bail is usually set, almost automatically, in high amounts ($1,000 up co $100,000) and few defendants can raise it. So they have to pay a bail bondsman 10% of the amount of the bail and he puts up bond in courr. But most criminal defendants are poor and can't raise the $500 at $1,000 to pay the bondsman either. For want of money they stay in jail until erial. Their families go on relief, they lose their jobs, they can't pay for a lawyer to defend them, and their chances of proving innocence diminish.

It is not. I have sober hopes we can do better for the future. To sum up the past few years since I returned to the law, I would have to admit I have earned little money (my husband has been superb in not belaboring this); I have done work in fields that desperately needed good lawyers and could not afford to attract many ambitious young breadwinners on the way up; the satisfactions have been immense; I do not think I have had to neglect my family (I have never yet worked an 8-5 schedule and for the most part I'm home when the children are); 10 CONNECTICUT COLLEGE ALUMNAE NEWS -that the practice of law per se was not my cup of tea, welfare type programs.

While I continue to dabble in politics, I really find that pre-school children are much too time- consuming and emotionally satisfying to allow for an out- side career. However, I believe that with the children launched in school, I will return to politics or a peripheral area of the law.

Tax law is my special area of the law. However, since taxes have become such an important part of everyone's chinking, the tax lawyer must of necessity become knowl- edgeable and involved in many other areas, particularly trusts and estates, corporate law, partnership law, etc. I highly recommend law as a suitable career for a woman. All fields are open to her if she is a good attorney. Many of my friends practice with large firms in the estates and trusts field. Others I know of are in the securities field, anti-trust law, government (U.S. and state attorneys), trust administration, and Legal Aid. My experience has been somewhat diverse. Let me state at the outset that I have never had any difficulty securing any position I desired, a fact which should be encouraging to all women attorneys. After law school, to combine my legal background with my economics background, I became a Personal Trust Administrator at the Chase Manhattan Bank-a pleasant experience but lacking the challenging legal problems I had hoped to encounter. At that point ] decided to practice law only. Since at Columbia I had really enjoyed my tax classes, I joined the Internal Revenue Service and began to study for a Master's in Tax Law at NYU.

DECEMBER 1966 25 alumnae day 1966

The bright faces below belong to a few of the 150 prospective students who came on Alumnae Day, October 8, 1966, for a good look at Connecticut College. They were greeted and well-briefed in Palmer Auditorium by Mr. Cobbledick, Dean Noyes, and Carol Friedman '67, President of Student Govern- ment (upper left). Taken in tow by 16 students, they picked up box lunches in Crozier-Williams, and then separated into small groups, each with a student hostess, for a picnic outdoors on the greensward under a blue October sky. We strolled among them, asking now and then what a girl's impression was, with Mr. Biscuti by our side to snap her picture. After lunch, the girls took a campus tour, guided still by their student hostesses, and wound up the day with a swim in the pool for those desiring it. Over 100 alumnae attended luncheon in Harris Refectory. Priscilla Duxbury Wescott '41, President of the Alumnae Association, presided. She introduced the speakersc-Presidenr Shain, who spoke on the state of the college, and Professor William Meredith of the English Department, Director of the Summer Program in the Humanities, who spoke on the obligation of educated citizens to work directly toward the improvement of public education.

As I share now in the history of the College, I seem to become more and more aware of the devotion of human effort that have gone into building Connecticut to this point. I don't mean to be too solemn, but I think it is appropriate to remember for a moment what a lovely trust it is "I want to tell you how proud we are of the Class Agents, of the Alumnae as a whole, of your Alumnae Association, for rhe stunning record made last year in Annual Giving. The record of more than 4,000 contributors and $191,500 is of course the finest ever made at Connecticut College. The people responsible are you; the quality of your organization, publications, and above all your spirit, exhilarates everyone on the campus and off the campus who hears about it. May I say, for my part, how much more exhilarating you make my job of fund-raising. Nothing succeeds, as Winston Churchill said, like excess. The excess of your bounty is very persuasive when I approach the foundations, the government, and the very rich. When we plan our campaigns, we are building on your campaigns. Your effort makes our efforts not only smoother, but more effective."

Professor Meredith -

"Because I've been privileged to represent the College in one of its most direct confrontations with public education, I have had some sense of how our alumnae stand. They have said and written things to me about the Summer Program in -the Humanities that make clear that in various roles-as teachers, as voters, as parents-they share my belief that the apathy and niggardliness of Americans toward public schools is related to our worst and most unneces- sary public problems, and that they are finding ingenious ways to serve their belief,"

Bredeson 1929-1966 Robert C Bredeson, assistant professor of English, died suddenly on September 16, 1966. Before joining the faculty at Connecticut College in 1961, he served as an instructor of English at Grinnell College and at the University of Minnesota. A specialist in the field of American Litera- ture, he was continuing with his research, begun in graduate school, on the effect that travel literature had on the prose style of Mark Twain and other late nineteenth century American writers. The dignity of his life will forever be remembered by the College community. He was, in the heroic sense, a man of remarkable courage. Despite the years of pain and physical restriction, his brilliance of wit never faltered; his quick but geode humor never failed. As a great teacher, he inspired his students by the quality and depth of his devotion to literature. As a faculty member, he inspired his colleagues by the quality and depth of his dedication to this College which he loved. As a man, the memory of his valiant life will always continue to inspire those who knew him as scholar, as teacher. and as friend.

It was held in a bam belonging to Barbara Seelbach Lindblad '51, on September 30th. Featured were 80 trays, exact copies of authentic old- time designs, which had been decorated in weekly work- shops over a long period. Techniques included antique stencilling, Tole painting, and free-hand bronzing done on tin manufactured in the old-fashioned way. They were all sold within the first hour. Other items offered, also hand-made, were Christmas and picnic table cloths of trimmed burlap, placemar sets, packaged felt decorations for tree skirts and sweaters, and artificial flower arrange- ments. Home-made tomato juice and salad dressing, fresh vegetables, flowers and fruit, enhanced the atmosphere. There were even pony rides outside to keep the children happy.
