by WINONA F. YOUNG '19

IT is fitting that articles on the Student-Alumnae Center and Mrs. Louise Sykes should appear in the same issue of the ALUMNAE NEWS. Mrs. Sykes, announcement of whose death appears below, exerted a lasting influence on the students in college during her husband's years as president. Those students, now alumnae, have in turn given to the rest of us a sense of Mrs. Sykes' strong beliefs. The early years of any endeavor often foretell the character of the succeeding years. Students and alumnae of the College can therefore be grateful that for this First Lady learning was a matter of great import, enabling the individual to live, as Miss Park said on Alumnae Day of this year, with "an inward refinement."
