About the College Scripps emphasizes a challenging core curriculum based on interdisciplinary studies in the humanities, combined with rigorous training in the disciplines as the best possible foundation for any goals a student may pursue. The interdisciplinary emphasis of the curriculum is a hallmark of a Scripps education. Because Scripps students learn to see the connections not only among academic subjects, but also among the major areas of their own lives, alumnae often remark that Scripps “prepared me for life.” From its founding in 1926 as one of the few institutions in the West dedicated to educating women for professional careers as well as personal growth, Scripps College has championed the qualities of mind and spirit described by its founder, newspaper entrepreneur and philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps. Scripps College believes that having women at the core of its concerns provides the best environments for intellectually ambitious students to learn from a distinguished teaching faculty and from each other. The Founder “The paramount obligation of a college is to develop in its students the ability to think clearly and independently and the ability to live confidently, courageously, and hopefully.” —Ellen Browning Scripps One of the most remarkable “Scripps women” never attended Scripps – she founded it. Born in 1836 and raised on a farm in Illinois, Ellen Browning Scripps was one of the first female graduates of Knox College, Illinois, and one of the first women college students in the United States. She began her professional life as a schoolteacher. At the age of 37, she became a path-paving journalist and publisher, joining her brothers in Detroit, where they founded the Detroit Evening News. A shrewd investor, she helped her brothers develop the business into the Scripps-Howard newspaper chain and United Press International. She celebrated her success with philanthropy, giving to improve the quality of life in her community and in support of education. Already in her nineties when Scripps and The Claremont Colleges were being planned, her financial generosity laid the bricks and mortar for the first buildings of Scripps College and secured the land on which the three newest Claremont Colleges would be built – Claremont McKenna, Harvey Mudd, and Pitzer. The College Seal – La Semeuse The seal of Scripps College, designed by sculptor Lee Lawrie, depicts La Semeuse – she who sows. The image of the sower of “the good seed of thought, of action, of life” was chosen by the faculty in the 1927–1928 academic year. They also selected the College motto, Incipit Vita Nova—“new life begins here,” The esteemed Professor Hartley Burr Alexander was largely responsi ble for the seal’s image and the motto. Before he arrived on campus, he suggested Incipit Vita Nova, the first words of Dante’s New Life. 3 The Principles of Community Scripps College is a community of scholars: faculty, students, and staff dedicated to the education of women and the advancement of learning. To further this community, Scripps seeks to attract a diverse student body and to build a diverse faculty and staff. Scripps’ goal is to create a hospitable environment without discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion, culture, color, beliefs, physical condition, socioeconomic background, sexual orientation, or age. Scripps believes that each member of our community contributes to the learning and teaching of all and, therefore, seeks to balance individual freedoms with sensitivity to, and awareness of, the rights and human dignity of others. Scripps recognizes the obligation to respond to the acts and effects of discrimination and bigotry by building an academic community in which people learn to respect and value one another for their differences. Scripps believes that learning and teaching thrive in an environment conducive to freedom of belief, inquiry, and speech, assuring expression of the broadest range of opinions and beliefs. Scripps commits itself to maintaining that freedom, subject only to regulation of time, place, and manner. Recognizing that such expressions may offend, provoke, and disturb, Scripps affirms its dedication to encourage rather than limit expression. At the same time, Scripps encourages community members to show mutual respect and understanding and to employ reasoned civil discourse. Scripps seeks, through its academic and community policies and practices, through its actions and the services it provides to students, faculty, and staff, to secure the widest appreciation for all groups and individuals, to combat discrimination and misunderstanding, and to forge a better and more just society. Each member of the Scripps community affirms, by her or his continuing participation in College life, acceptance of her or his personal responsibility and obligation to the community in assuring that these principles are upheld in all aspects of our lives together. The Principles of Diversity An understanding and appreciation of diverse peoples, cultures, and perspectives informs the intellectual framework on which our institutional mission is based and is critical to Scripps’ ability to maintain its position as a premier liberal arts college. The College is committed to demonstrating that respect of differences among people is a prerequisite to achieving institutional excellence. Through its policies and its actions, Scripps strives to create an environment in which acknowledging and engaging

  • Community at Scripps

    Community at Scripps

    WINTER 2017 SCRIPPSTHE WOMEN’S COLLEGE · CLAREMONT Come Toget her Community at Scripps The Merriam-Webster Dictionary offers three definitions of the word “community”: 1) a unified body of individuals; 2) society at large; and 3) joint ownership or participation. Over the past several months, I’ve learned that each of these definitions confirms that Scripps College is synonymous with the notion of community and that our strong community is a key ingredient of our distinguished heritage. The Scripps College community is unified. Scripps College alumnae instantly enjoy the privileges of membership in a sisterhood that shares the values of academic excellence, empowerment, and equity. These values cross generational and geographic boundaries to unite Scripps alumnae through a range of social, intellectual, and professional activities, from book clubs to excursions to parenting groups, that extend the Scripps experience decades beyond the undergraduate years and miles beyond the campus. Scripps’ community is shaped, in part, by its commitment to influence positive change on and off campus. The College’s history of activism and engagement is evident in community members’ visible and vocal participation in social movements as well as in behind-the-scenes volunteerism, advocacy, and civic service. Members of the Scripps community aspire to not only fight for social justice, but also to model it here on Scripps’ campus in the classrooms, residence halls, and public spaces where we live, learn, and socialize. Our community is also characterized by joint ownership and participation. Student voices provide information and perspectives for College-wide decisions ranging from admission policies to construction planning to recruitment and hiring.
