KAPPA KAPPA GAMMA WINTER 1964 An Edu~ated W oiDan Kappa Kappa Gamma has many wishes for her undergraduate daughters but none concern her more than the quest for excellence in scholarship. The girl en rolled in college today fills a highly contested and coveted position as a member of the academic community. She earned this position because of her potential ability to profit from it. Anything less than excellent performance makes her a usurper. We would hope that each of our young members would crave intellectual ful fillment for its own sake. The joy of becoming deeply involved in a subject, the curiosity about the world around her, the challenge of courses both stimulating and difficult, these are the marks of a scholar. Kappa also hopes that her members be oriented to the world outside of books and campus. No one is truly educated who has not become familiar with the con cert hall, the art gallery, the museum. A knowledge of current events, current lit erature, current development in fields other than her specialty is part of the cul ture expected of an educated woman today. An appreciation and taste for these things can be cultivated and thus bring color and richness to her life. To wish for scholarship excellence in our members is not enough; so Kappa Kappa Gamma strives to help her members achieve their goals. A realistic scholar ship program, a cultural enrichment program, a quiet place to study, resource material in chapter libraries ... these we can provide. No less important is the help and encouragement, love and understanding of Kappa sisters. Kappa Kappa Gamma is proud when her members and her chapters achieve high grades. However, grades and honors are not an end in themselves but rather an indication that teachers have found the student worthy of their efforts. Honor and integrity must never be sacrified. The only real motivation needed to achieve excellent performance is a student's delight in personal accomplishment and her wish to live up to the high level of expectancy shared by her parents, her college and her fraternity. a 1u Scholarship Chairman 3 VOLUME 81 NUMBER 4 The first college women's fraternity magazine Published continuously the KEY since 1882 OF KAPPA KAPPA GAMMA WINTER 1964 Send all editorial material and COVER: The Wilbur Cross Library on the University of Con eorrespondence to the necticut campus has a large new addition which has recently been opened.
