8 THE FACULTY

T HE faculty of a college is its cornerstone. On the quality of the teachers and administrat~rs. of an institut~on ultimatel: de- pends the quality of the students who compose the student body and later the Alumnae Association. The creative scholarship of the faculty adds lustre to the name of the college. More importantly, together with the work of the alumnae who were taught by the faculty. it is the college's contribution to the growing body of the world's knowledge and understanding.

The students and alumnae of Connecticut have always enjoyed expressing their affection and admiration for the faculty, and the faculty have usually responded with enthusiasm. Admittedly, here as elsewhere, the course of true love does not invariably run smooth, but the facts are as stated, and a strong and enduring bond exists between alumnae and faculty. We are glad to do honor, in a smell way, through the pages of the Alumnae News to members of the faculty whose retirement was announced in June 1958.
