It is to this quest for Virginia, wirh "creativity, resourcefulness, imagination excellence, coupled with a preservation of the spirit

learning. I should like to note five which compose what we might term the greater family which constitutes
Longwood. Each of these groups is represenred on the stage this morning. A college or university requires the support and cooperation of the community and locality within which it is located. This we have at Longwood. On occasions too numerous to mention, the College has asked varied elements of the community for assistance. In each situation such groups as the Town Council, the Chamber of Commerce, the Police Department, the Farmville Herald, the Jaycees, and many others have responded. Ir is our hope that the College may reciprocare the aid which it has received. Secondly, ladies and gentlemen, a college or university needs an informed and committed governing board. This we have. Many of the members of the Board of Visitors serve to the point of personal sacrifice in terms of time expended in service to this college. Thirdly, a college or university must enjoy the supporr of its alumnae. This we have. It has been my good fortune to visit 16 alumnae chapters, both within and outside the Commonwealth during the past 11 months.

Liz Jones, alumnae director, was on hand to greet them. Dr Willett chats with members of the group during coffee hour given in their honor at the Alumnae House. The students were handed brochures of Longwood and shown around campus. They had the opportunity to hear the Fort Lee Band play in Jarman Hall, and the pleasure of visiting the Midway of Oktoberfest. The alumnae and students were most impressed with the Lankford Student Activities Building—seeing the Snack Bar which is operated by the Alumnae Association, watching students play ping-pong and taking advantage of the bowling alleys. 21 'intfa Cathatine Bickle Hankla, '48, a daughter, Bonnie Staley Sarah Jane Brisentine Mick, '56, a son, Donald Eugene, Jr. Anne Field Brooking Stelter, '56, a son, Edwin Field Charlotte Craig Wood, '64, a daughter, Candace Heather Dale Brothers Birdsong, '56. a daughter Roberta Cadou Rutherford, '64, a son, Robert Michael Jo Hearing Smith, '67, a son, Millard Todd Elizabeth DeHaien Blair, '56, a son Thomas Jackson, IV Betty Dickenson Leonard, '61, a daughter Nancy Dobyns Pettengill, '64, a son, Andrew Wayne Linda Doles Dougherty, '59. a son.
