Sarah Pithouse Becker '27, president of the Association, welcomed the alumnae and noted that the 25th reunion class was "not afraid to sit up front." "They're getting deaf," someone shouted, and the beachcomber hats worn by the Class of '50 bobbed in appreciation. An invitation to swim in the magnificent new pool followed the reminder that after midnight keys to dorms must be secured from Fanning. Then the meeting got underway.

"Are there no alumnae dues as such?" It was explained that the Alumnae Association receives a grant from the SALLY BECKER OPENS THE MEETING College while the 50th Anniversary Fund Drive is in progress and that Alumnae Fund has been suspended for the three fund-raising years. The Association remains autonomous, however, while the College underwrites its budget. Jimmy Francis Toye '35, who came from England for reunion, introduced a motion to accept the proposed budget. It was unanimously approved. Natalie R. Maas '40, retiring senior Alumnae Trustee, introduced the following resolution which was unanimously adopted by a rising vote: On March 1, 1960 with the death of Agnes B. Leahy '21, the Connecticut College Alumnae Association lost an alumna whose contributions to the entire college community over a period of almost forty years were unparal- leled.

TUDENT apathy, earlier days, the S pressure of admissions, and the Im- portance of the 50th Anniversary Fund were some of the subjects cov- ered by President Rosemary Park in her talk to alumnae at the gala All- Alumnae Banquet Saturday evening. Introduced by Sally Becker, Miss Park welcomed back the largest group of alumnae ever present for reunion, recalling that she had personally presented diplomas to six of the ~eturn- ing classes. She reflected that this year was her twenty-fifth of academic life. Looking back, she remembered .. the mid-thirties as a time of great activity, a time when buildings were going up and plans were being made, the product of President Blunt's confidence and foresight. The College, she added, is still growing and has before rt many incomplete tasks.

the custom of sitting down in small groups for the evening meal. Another problem which concerns the faculty is to decide which courses are best taught to a large group, which to a small group.

HE College is at present in the ALL-ALUMNAE BANQUET T midst of its 50th Anniversary Fund Drive, its first appeal for capital funds. Miss Park announced that the Fund had received $2,078,000 toward its goal of $3,100,000.

Miss Park described an exciting change of attitude on the part of the students. Until recently a kind of un- real amiability and apathy prevailed. Following the breakdown of the Sum- mit Conference, the student apathy began to crack. Aware of the student interest, Miss Park invited members of the history and government depart- ments to discuss world affairs at an evening meeting. A notice was posted, but no one anticipated the response it received. Almost 500 students crowded into the lounge and jammed the cor- ridor outside. Students want to grow up to the times, Miss Park stated, and they are beginning to demand more of the faculty. We as alumnae have a responsibility to encourage this spirit, Miss Park con- cluded. We have completed our re- treat to the suburbs; we have become aware of the neglect of public education. These unhappy stirrings are evi- dence of a new maturity which we as educated women should welcome. 9 • •

A HOP, SKIP AND A JUMP (continued) we encourage fewer large meetings during the year, with supplementary area get-togethers. In answer to the question, "What, in your judgment, makes Connecticut College unique?" we found many answers: a particular course of study; an inspiring professor; insight into the world of the scholar. A recurrent answer was: "I think the Alumnae are outstanding."
