REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT

To the Board oj Trustees: I have the honor to present the report of the year 1937-38, the sixty-third session of Wellesley College. The detailed statements from the administrative officers constitute a valuable record of the significant events and problems of the year. It is not the purpose of this report to review the facts which are adequately presented in the accompanying reports, but rather to comment on certain aspects of the college year which may not be otherwise presented. Changes in Personnel. There have been one withdrawal and three additions to the Board of Trustees. Harriet Hinchliff Coverdale completed her sixth year as alumna trustee and by a ruling of the Alumnae Association was not eligible for reelection. Mrs. Coverdale has been an active and valued member of the Board, serving since 1934 as a member of the Executive Commit- tee and for two years on the Committee on Gifts. Her successor as a representative of the alumnae is Marie Rahr Haffenreffer of the Class of 1911.

Harvey Hollister Bundy, Yale, '09, Harvard LL.B., '14, former Assistant Secretary of State, now a member of the firm of Choate, Hall and Stewart and President of the Boston Foreign Policy Association, was elected for a six-year term. Grace Goodnow Crocker, since 1 930 Secretary of the Board, was elected to membership. The by-laws of the Board permit the Secretary to be either member or non-member. Miss Crocker's position as Executive Secretary of the College involved membership on the Academic Council and made membership on the Board inadvisable. As part of a year's experiment in making the secretaryship of the Board a full-time position, the Board voted to elect Miss Crocker to membership. A complete list of appointments and withdrawals is appended to this report. Mention is made of only a few. Two professors were retired at the end of the year. Edna Vir- ginia Moffett became Professor Emeritus of History after thirty-

5 Wellesley College six years of service. Arthur Orlo Norton became Professor Emeritus of Education after twenty-six years in that department. The resignation of Mary Lowell Coolidge as Dean of the Col- lege was a source of great regret to all friends of the College. Her colleagues in all parts of the organization have learned to look to her for wise counsel and administrative efficiency. It is a source of satisfaction that the College may anticipate her continued service as Professor of Philosophy. Lucy Wilson, Professor of Physics and Dean of the Class of 1938, has been appointed Acting Dean of the College for the year 1938-39. Helen G. Russell, Assistant Professor of Mathemat- ics, has been appointed Dean of the Class of 1941. She took office at the beginning of the second semester during the leave of absence of Dean Knapp. The unusual number of changes in the administrative staff have involved many readjustments. Especial mention should be made of the retirement of Charles Bowen Hodges whose ten years as Business Manager were years of generous and able direction of the operation of a plant which expanded markedly during his term of office. of the The Mary Whiton Calkins Professorship, the annual gift Alumnae Association, brought to the campus Alfred North Whitehead and Nadia Boulanger. Professor Whitehead gave a series of six lectures on "Modes of Thought" under the auspices of the department of Philosophy and Psychology. Mademoiselle Boulanger lectured in the department of Music during the second semester. These distinguished visitors contributed enormously to the intellectual enrichment of the campus. Blanche Prichard McCrum accepted appointment as Librarian and made a notable impression on the college community during her first year in office.

The year 1937-38 was one of no major changes, but several problems emerged to claim attention. Admission. The distribution of the student body as a representative group of young women is a matter of chronic interest. The entering class showed no marked deviation from the distribution which has been characteristic in recent years. There are still 6 President's Report relatively few candidates from the Far West and the South. The proportion of candidates from private schools is somewhat smaller than in some of our sister colleges and there are some cities from which Wellesley has drawn too few students in recent years. The acquaintanceship work of the Alumnae Association has helped to solve these problems, and the policy of sending fairly frequent visitors from the campus seems to be of aid to the alumnae committees in directing the attention of promising candidates to the College. It may be of interest to note that in addition to those alumnae groups visited by alumnae trustees and representatives of the Association, twenty-eight alumnae clubs in twelve states were visited by members of the faculty or administrative staff. The Scholarship Committee raised certain questions about the effectiveness of the administration of the National Prize Scholar- ships. A committee of trustees and faculty started to work on the problem of tying them in more effectively with the rest of the scholarship program, and the plans should be ready for presentation to the Board in the fall. An interesting question arose with relation to the number of foreign students from countries to which our young graduates would like to go as exchange students. The trustees provide five thousand dollars in scholarships to bring foreign students. The modern language departments expressed the hope that some of these might be held each year for students from France, Ger- many, Spain, or Italy so that the Institute of International Edu- cation would always hold a place for a Wellesley exchange student. The assignment of the foreign scholarships has been made by the Dean of Graduate Students and the Dean of the College who have felt it unwise to confuse the issue of placement of graduates with that of enriching the student body by introducing students from a variety of countries. No action was taken on this matter, but it raises a question which must soon be faced about the provision of opportunities for language students to be placed abroad. Although five members of the Class of 1938 were given fellowships or assistantships in France, that was a most unusual concession. Ordinarily assignments abroad are made only on a strict exchange basis. Probably the appoint- 7 Wellesley College ment of department assistants will be a better solution than the allocation of scholarship funds for this purpose. Academic Council Activities. Especial attention should be called to the work of the Council committees mentioned in the report of Dean Coolidge. In addition, the trustees will be interested in the action of a large majority of the members of the faculty in expressing themselves as favoring retirement at age sixty-five rather than age sixty-eight. It was understood that no change in the expectation of senior members of the faculty retiring within the next five years would be contemplated. Department Reports. Each department of the College presents an annual report. That of the Library is published herewith. A change in administration of this vital part of the College has brought its problems forcefully to the attention of the faculty and administration. The report of the Librarian merits especial consideration since it includes explicitly or implicitly many suggestions which will need study in the near future. There is something in each department report which merits full and detailed presentation to a wider audience than the Presi- dent's Office filing case affords. Space prevents more than the general observation that they are the reports of vitally interested members of the faculty who are constantly introducing varied methods to accomplish established and changing purposes. Several departments have labored long under a handicap of inadequate clerical assistance. A few have needed telephones who have not had them. Many are working in overcrowded offices. One small department office contains seven desks, a congestion not conducive to academic calm nor to business efficiency. Some of these conditions have already improved. The summer will include the remodeling of several rooms in Founder's Hall to provide more offices. The conscientious effort of members of all the departments to save the money of the College will be appreciated by the trustees who have insisted that adequate help to the instructing staff must be provided. The conscientiousness of the faculty has been shown in certain departments by a willingness to carry appalling teaching loads on the assumption that it would be cheaper for the College to pay a slight additional stipend to a member of its own staff than to 8 President's Report bring in additional teachers. The recognition by the trustees that the vigor and efficiency of the faculty is of prime importance has made it possible to check this over-conscientiousness and to bring in additional assistance where it has been needed. It is now understood that no member of the faculty will be asked to carry more than a full schedule, since no amount of additional stipend will add to the hours of his day. The departments of English Composition and English Litera- ture, as well as the Dean, include in their reports reference to the joint major which was worked out by a committee of the departments under the chairmanship of Dean Coolidge. This involves no fundamental reorganization of these departments, but it marks an important step in recognizing the way in which the work of each department supplements that of the other. Inter-department Activity. In the extra-curricular field the offer- ings of several departments proved noteworthy. The Greek department, assisted by the departments of Music, Art, Hygiene and Physical Education, presented "Iphigenia among the Taurians" in the Hay Outdoor Theatre. The Orchestra and Choir joined with the Barnswallows Association in the production of Cluck's opera, "Alceste," whose ballet was directed by a member of the department of Hygiene and Physical Education. The Theatre Workshop and Dance Groups presented Dunsany's "Argimenes and the Unknown Warrior" and did it so effectively that it was repeated at commencement with the consent of the new board of the Barnswallows Association who had planned to present their first production at that time. Study of the Social Schedule. The participation by students and faculty members in these inter-departmental and inter-organiza- tional activities was so whole-hearted that it called the attention of everyone to the fact that too much of even a good thing is still too much. In an effort to simplify the congestion of the calendar, the Senate appointed a faculty-student committee, under the chairmanship of Miss Hawk of the department of English Litera- ture, to draft a plan to avoid such intense activity on the part of so many conflicting interests. The plan was adopted by the Aca- demic Council and the Senate and will be put into effect in the next academic year, after which there will be more to report 9 Wellesley College about its actual usefulness. The College is indebted to the committee which did a masterly piece of work in studying the whole problem. Trends in Student Interest. The year has witnessed a developing interest in public affairs. This is reflected in the large enrollment in the department of History and Political Science and in the emergence of the Forum as a major organization, challenging the attention of the entire student body instead of one small group. The Forum dinners, modeled on those of the Foreign Policy Association, have attracted widespread interest on the campus. The close association of the College with China, per- sonalized by the loyalty of Madame Chiang Kai-Shek, has made the Eastern conflict a matter of concern to undergraduates. Margaret Speer, Dean of Yenching College, accepted an invita- tion to make Wellesley her headquarters during a six-week visit in the Boston area, and she contributed much to the interest in China. The strength of the department of Spanish has made it possible to keep a well-informed group alert to the problems in Spain. We can well take pride in the sound critical judgment of students and faculty members in dealing with these and other controversial matters. This ability was shown in the Forum on the Constitution which was conducted by the department of His- tory and Political Science in recognition of the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the signing of that document. Several distinguished alumnae of the College were invited to participate in the discussions which were attended by a large and intellec- tually active group of undergraduates. The three lectures which opened the discussions were given by Thomas Reed Powell of Harvard University. A growing interest in fine arts is evidenced by the large enrollment in the departments of Art and Music, in the size, quality, and enthusiasm of the Choir and the Orchestra, the great interest and artistic achievement in the dance, and the widespread interest in dramatics. With the increasing emphasis on the theatre in the secondary schools and in adult community life, it seems clear that the College will eventually have to face the problem of making more adequate provision for the professional direction of extra-curricular dramatic work. The director of Theatre Work-

10 President's Report shop carries several other courses in the department of Speech and is working under great handicaps with inadequate space and time. The technical assistant to the director has been the technical adviser to the Barnswallows Association this year and has thus linked the academic and non-academic work, but the difficulty of adjusting time and equipment to the demands of two organizations has been great. It seems probable that the College will ultimately have to accept the same kind of responsibility for providing leadership for dramatics which is now provided for music and the dance, where members of the faculty have time allowance for assisting extra-curricular groups. This raises the ever-present question of the relative importance of finished productions by talented people and of avowedly ama- teur productions for a larger group in the student body. Stu- dents and faculty members have been working on that question during the year and will continue to do so. Sigma Xi. 1938 will be noteworthy because of the recognition which came to the departments of science by the introduction of the Wellesley Chapter of Sigma Xi. The charter was presented on May 13 and the exercises were the occasion for high tributes to the foresight of Miss Pendleton and the trustees in equipping the departments so adequately, as well as to the members of the faculty who have made such distinguished use of the equipment. Changes in Plant. The report of the Assistant Treasurer sum- marizes the chief changes in the plant during the year. The major item is, of course, the construction of the Recreation Building which includes the George Howe Davenport Pool. The plan of the architect, William T. Aldrich, was accepted early in the fall, ground was broken in February, and the corner-stone was laid on Alumnae Day, June 1 8, 1 938. It is expected that the building will be ready for use at the beginning of the second semester of the coming academic year. Crawford House ceased to be a French House and became the home of the Dean of Residence. Mrs. Ewing's use of this building for the entertainment of college guests and as a gathering place for many student and faculty groups has been a valuable contribution to the life of the College. The students who wanted to live in a French House were

11 Wellesley College housed in one corridor of Munger Hall. The reception rooms were used for the soirees conducted by the French department and, as a makeshift device, the plan worked well. It is still the keen desire of the department, however, to have a special house, accommodating more students than Crawford could include since it is limited to four double rooms. Trustee Committee on Endowment. The foregoing sections of the report suggest numerous ways in which the College might be helped to function more effectively. They all cost money. The skill of the Treasurer and his financial advisers on the Board of Trustees, the ingenuity of the Assistant Treasurer in balancing a problematic budget, the cooperation of a faculty and staff which practices the thrift appropriate to a New England college, have all combined to carry the College through difficult days. There is little question, however, that in the near future labor costs will increase. Food costs have risen during the year, although they have been held under amazing control through the efforts of the Dietitian and Purveyor who have managed and bought with skill. Equipment of all kinds will soon respond to an era of increasing prices. The salary scale is not what it ought to be. The "Book of Needs" which was prepared by the Executive Secretary at the request of the Alumnae Committee of Seven Colleges indicates the need of an additional SI, 810,000 for buildings and an additional endowment of S3, 000,000 for other purposes. It is hard for visitors to this beautiful campus to believe that any further building is needed. The difficulties under which the Art department labors are, however, apparent to anyone who visits the basement catacombs in which our studio work must be done. The Library is so crowded that the desks of staff members must be in the stacks where constant passing makes for inconvenience and inaccuracy. The transportation of books the length and breadth of the building is costly of time and money. The failure to provide private study space for faculty members and advanced students puts us at a real disadvantage in developing the kind of independent work which our sister colleges facili- tate. The college physicians and nurses are wasting valuable time and energy by working in the congested and inconvenient quarters provided in Simpson Infirmary. There is no need to 12 President's Report duplicate hospital facilities available in Newton and Boston, but the rooms for the clinic and provision for the care of patients who should not be moved to hospitals are quite inadequate. Add to these pressing needs the many other desirable aids to the kind of education Wellesley wants to provide, and it becomes evident why the administration welcomes establishment of a committee to consider an increase of the permanent resources of the College. At the May meeting of the Board of Trustees a committee of five, under the chairmanship of the Honorable Frank G. Allen, was elected. Rearrangement of responsibilities on the campus has made it possible to abandon the ofBce of Executive Secretary of the College and thus permit the Secretary of the Board, who has held both offices for eight years, to devote full time to her trustee work. Miss Crocker's long experience with the College makes her unusually helpful in furthering the plans of the Committee on Endowment, of which she will be the secretary. Gifts. It must be evident from the foregoing pages that the gifts from friends of the College are accepted with heart-felt gratitude. They are listed in the appendix to this report and should be noted by anyone concerned with the welfare of the College. Because of its unusual use, the Alumnae Fund is sin- gled out from all the rest for special comment. In addition to the designated items, S 11, 500 was given as an undesignated gift and has been assigned by the trustees to a series of uses designed to stimulate directly the intellectual life of the campus. These include the establishment of a faculty fellowship for a member of the faculty who is not yet eligible for a sabbatic leave; a sum for faculty publications; a fund for conferences or additional lectures; and a faculty research grant. The College is greatly indebted to its alumnae for their help in providing the funds for try- ing these experiments in intellectual stimulation. If they prove as valuable as is anticipated they should be included in the regular budget, but during an experimental period it is^an enormous aid to have these extra funds available.

Much of this report is concerned with unsolved problems. That is a sign that the College is alive. That it is healthy is sug-

13 Wellesley College gested by the wholesomeness of its physical and social life, the in- tegrity of its academic work, the reality of its spiritual interest. Little reference is made in annual reports to qualities like those, for they are the inherent traits of the College which most of us take for granted. It may be well in closing to mention them, however, as the qualities which give significance to the work of this year or any year. Respectfully submitted, Mildred H. McAfee, President.

July 1, 1938.

14 REPORT OF THE DEAN OF THE COLLEGE

To the President of Wellesley College: The work of the faculty cominittees concerned with problems of administration and instruction, that of the class deans, and that of the Office of the Deans, have been carried on much as usual although the absence on leave for the second semester of Dean Knapp necessitated some special temporary adjustments. Other minor changes in office organization and routine have been worked out as part of the plan to transfer in the fall of 1938 more responsibility for the awarding of scholarships to the Dean of the College and the class deans. One of the interesting developments of the year was the offer- ing by the two departments of English Literature and English Composition of a joint major. A student electing such a major will include in it a combination of courses, some in English literature and some in English composition. Therefore, she need not, as heretofore, necessarily choose between a major in English literature or one in English composition, although both these majors will continue to be offered as well as the new joint major. Faculty discussion of the desirability of securing financial assistance for the publication of books and articles written by members of the faculty led to the setting up of a special committee to investigate possibilities and formulate proposals. In the spring, a plan outlined by the committee was approved by the Academic Council and a recommendation was made to the Board of Trustees that funds be secured to promote the publication of work done by the faculty and perhaps in some cases by students. The appointment by the Committee on Curriculum and In- struction of a special committee to study the subject of The College and the Preparation of Students for Teaching was also made in the spring with the hope that the special committee can present at least the preliminary results of its study before the end of the current calendar year. During the year 1937-38, 349 courses were actually given by IS Wellesley College

the various departments, aggregating 700 hours per week, not including hours duplicated because of additional sections of the same course. These 349 courses include only one course given by the department of Hygiene, namely the lecture course prescribed for freshmen. A list of these courses by departments with the figures showing enrollment by courses is given in the Statistics of Course Enrollment. f> The following table shows the amount of instruction given by the various departments in the past four years. The unit of instruction used is the instruction of one student, one hour a week for one academic year. 1934-1935 1935-1936 1936-1937 1937-1938 Art 1,3941^ 1,348 1,369 1,537>^ Astronomy 216 289J^ 346>^ 229^ Biblical History 1,521 1,464 1,417 1,456^" Botany 586>^ 548>^ 731 730 Chemistry 610>^ 659>i 609 679>^

Of the twelve seniors who had either failed the general examination or had other deficiencies in June, 1937, seven were awarded their degrees as of the Class of 1937 at the October meeting of the trustees; one received her degree in March and three in June, 1938. In June, 1938, 314 students received the degree of Bachelor of Arts. This makes the total number of Bachelor's degrees con- ferred by the College, including those awarded in October and March, 12,802. The academic requirement for this degree is 17 Wellesley College the satisfactory completion of sixty year-hours of class work, and no student is graduated without passing a general examination on a twelve hour major or a special Honors examination, and an examination in a reading knowledge of a foreign language. The following table shows the number of students in the Class of 1938 who passed the general examination or the comprehensive examination for Honors in each department. Passed (Rec.

Of these, one also lacked quality points. Of the 314 students who received the B.A. degree in June, 23 won the rank of Durant Honor Scholars, and 56 the rank of Wellesley College Honor Scholars. 18 Report of the Dean of the College

21 REPORT OF THE DEAN OF FRESHMEN

To the President of Wellesley College: I have the honor to submit a report of the class which entered Wellesley College in September, 1937. The statistics do not present any markedly different tendencies from those of the preceding year. I am reporting them, therefore, without comment. The class numbered 422 new students and two former students who were readmitted with freshman classification. The distribution of the students according to the type of school preparation is as follows:

Preparation entirely in public high school 197 Preparation entirely in private school 127 Preparation partly in public and partly in private schools 98

The following table indicates the number of schools represented by the class entering in 1937:

Total number of schools in which preparation was completed 258 High schools 138 Private schools 1 20 Schools in New England 74 Schools outside New England 184

The following table indicates the methods of admission used by the students admitted in 1937: Plan A Regents examinations 47 Canadian Matriculation examinations 3 Plan B 141 PlanC 66 PlanD 134 Special Plan 5 Eight-Year Experiment Plan 26

Thirty-five students were exempted from English Composition in the second semester because of excellent work in the first semester. Ten students were exempted from the required course in Hygiene by passing satisfactory exemption examinations on the course in September. All freshmen were required to take a test in Speech during the opening week of college. On the basis of this test 112 students were exempted from taking the required work in Speech. Twenty-eight of this number elected Speech in the freshman year. Because of the absence of the Dean of Freshmen in the second semester the class of 1941 was fortunate in having the class dean appointed in February. Miss Helen G. Russell made a very distinct contribution to the class in her work as dean during the second semester. Respectfully submitted, Frances L. Knapp, Dean of Freshmen.

25 REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON GRADUATE INSTRUCTION

To the President of Wellesley College: The Committee on Graduate Instruction presents the following report of the academic year ending June 20, 1938. The enrollment of graduate students for the year 1 937-38 was as follows:

Students working for the Master of Arts degree 40 Students working for the Master of Science degree and the Certificate of the Department of Hygiene and Physical Education 16 Students working for the Certificate of the Department of Hygiene and Physical Education only 4 Non-candidates for degree 11

Total 71

These figures include 15 special graduate students. Of these 71 students, 25 received degrees and certificates in June, 1938, as follows:

Master of Arts degree 16 Master of Science degree and Certificate of the Depart- ment of Hygiene and Physical Education 9

In addition, degrees were awarded to non-resident students as follows:

June Master of Science degree 1

The major subjects of the 71 students in residence during the year were as follows: Art 4 Astronomy 1 Biblical History 1 Botany 4 Chemistry 5 26 Report on Graduate Instruction

Economics and Sociology 1 Education 1 English Composition 1 English Literature 8 French 3 History and Political Science 6 Hygiene and Physical Education 20 Italian 1 Music 3 Philosophy and Psychology 3 Physics 4 Zoology and Physiology 5

The major subjects of the candidates for a degree or certificate were as follows:

Art 2 Botany 2 Economics and Sociology 1 Education 1 English Composition 1 English Literature 2 French 2 History and Political Science 2 Hygiene and Physical Education 9 Physics 1 Psychology 1 Zoology and Physiology 1

The Bachelor's degrees of the 71 students in residence during the year were received as follows:

From Wellesley College 27 From other women's colleges 18 From co-educational institutions 21 From foreign universities 5 Of the 71 students in residence

35 were carrying a full program of 9 to 12 hours 36 were carrying a part-time program 17 held graduate tuition scholarships 5 held foreign-student scholarships 1 held the Susanna Whitney Hawkes Teaching Fellowship 27 Wellesley College

1 held the Amy Morris Romans Scholarship 1 held the Loretta Fish Carney Memorial Scholarship 32 held staff appointments carrying tuition 18 paid tuition

The Committee performed its usual function: examining credentials of candidates recommended for admission; passing upon the programs of students' work submitted by departments, reading theses, and attending oral examinations. One of the most arduous of the Committee's duties is the awarding of the 18 tuition scholarships for graduate work at Wellesley, the two Trustee Scholarships awarded to members of the senior class, and the three fellowships for advanced graduate work. For the two Trustee Scholarships there were 8 applicants as against 8 in 1937; 10 in 1936; and 7 in 1935. The awards were made to Doris H. Gasteiger and Edith C. Pratt. For the Alice Freeman Palmer Fellowship there were 8 candidates as against 9 in 1937; 4 in 1936; and 19 in 1935. For the Fanny Bullock Workman Scholarship there were 8 candidates as against 6 in 1937; 5 in 1936; and 16 in 1935. For the Anne Louise Bar- rett Fellowship there were 2 candidates as against 5 in 1937 and 4 in 1936. The small number of applicants for these fellowships seems regrettable and not clearly explained. The Committee called attention last year to the increase in the number of special graduate students and students who are not candidates for a degree. The latter includes, for the most part, an increasingly large number of members of the staff who are taking a single course, a privilege automatically granted without tuition charge or consideration of prerequisites. Some members of this group already hold Master's degrees. The statistics are as follows: Report on Graduate Instruction candidates for a degree within the year as provided in Article IX,

Section 1, d.

"In exceptional cases, candidates with the equivalent of the Wellesley B.A., but unable to meet all the requirements for admission as candidates for the Master's degree, may, with the approval of the department concerned, be admitted as special graduate students. Such a student shall not be granted graduate scholarships. Any work completed by a special graduate student, later allowed to count toward a Master's degree, must be carried at a grade of B or above. A student may not remain in the class of special graduate students for more than one year except by special vote of the Graduate Committee."

Two articles of the legislation governing graduate work were amended by the Academic Council on recommendation of the Committee:

(1) Article X, Section 3, e, was amended to limit to three year-hours the amount of non-residence work which may count toward the Master's degree.

(2) Article IX, Section 7, d, was amended to require both a grade and an informal report to the Committee for any graduate student excused from semester examinations. The revised para- graph reads as follows: "A graduate student may be excused from semester examinations if it seems desirable to the department. At the end of each semester, however, a grade shall be handed in to the College Recorder for all the student's course work. At the same time an informal report shall be made to the Committee on Graduate In- struction in regard to theses and other independent work."

The Committee at the request of one department discussed the interpretation of the legislation concerning penalties for late final papers. The Committee voted that the legislation for graduate students and undergraduates should be the same on this point.

"A student who is absent from an examination or fails to hand in a final paper at the appointed time, must send a letter of explanation to the College Recorder not later than 24 hours after the close of the last examination of the examination period. If the reason assigned is judged adequate by the Administrative Board, the student will incur a 'deficiency'; if the reason is judged inadequate, the student will incur a 'default,' or 'condition.' Such default shall remain a part of the per- 29 Wellesley College manent record of the student, but shall be distinguished from a condition. If a student fails to make an explanation within the time speci- fiedj^the case shall be treated as if the explanation had been inadequate."

The Committee discussed at length two questions: (1) the re- duction of graduate tuition, and (2) the possibility of redistribut- ing the amount now appropriated for 18 tuition scholarships so as to provide scholarships of different values. The Committee appointed a sub-committee to work on these questions, and a report on their recommendations may be expected later. Respectfully submitted, Helen Sard Hughes, Chairman.

30 REPORT OF THE DEAN OF RESIDENCE

To the President of Wellesley College: I have the honor to submit the following report of the Depart- ment of Halls of Residence for the year 1937-38. The College has operated twenty-one houses this year with the same staff of Heads of Houses as last year except that Miss Mary in Finch, Wellesley, '34, succeeded Miss Hildebrand as Resident Washington Annex. At the end of the year, four resignations became effective, to the great regret of both students and administration. Mrs. Wheelwright has completed her seventh year as Head of Tower Court, and had previously been Head of Fiske has two years and Head of Noanett two years. Mrs. Lewis been Head of Shafer since 1 934. Both women have made a large contribution to the life of the College through their unfailing interest in their students and the grace of their hospitality. Mrs. Howe has been Head of Washington two years and leaves to reestablish a home for her children. Miss Griswold, Wellesley, '33, has been assistant to the Head of Tower Court during the two years that she has worked for her Master's degree. The degree was awarded her in June and she will return to teaching. Her appointment at Tower Court was in the nature of an experiment which has proved so successful that it will be continued. For the year 1938-39 this post will be filled by Miss Finch who was at Washington Annex this year. Miss Roche will move from Little to Shafer. Three new appointments have been made: Mrs. Helen S. West, now associated with Leland Stanford University, will be Head of Washington; Miss Edith Adams, Wellesley, '08, will be Head of Little House; and Mrs. Clara More de Morinni, Wellesley, '04, will be Head of Tower Court. The staff of my office was depleted also in June through the resignation of Miss Sally Landers who has been my assistant for of four years. Miss Landers has taken charge very successfully arrangements for student entertainments, serving on the committee under that title; of the pointing of students for extra-curricular activities; of registrations for The Pioneer, and of definite

31 Wellesley College

has as audi- parts of the daily work in the office. She also served tor for the undergraduate organizations, thirty in number, managed Pay Day, and otherwise assisted the College Government organization. The time seemed propitious for a new alignment of these duties which would distinguish the functions of College Govern- ment from those of the administrative offices. Those pertaining to the Office of the Dean of Residence will be carried next year by Miss Finch; the College Comptroller, Miss Decker, will audit the accounts of undergraduate organizations; and College Govern- ment will appoint a clerk to attend to the work in that office. The house libraries have benefited this year by the active cooperation of Miss McCrum, the College Librarian. A prize of SI 0.00 was offered for the best list of books to be placed in a house library, and was awarded to Frances Harvey, librarian of Mun- in ger. A list had also been prepared by Miss McCrum response to a request from the Buffalo Wellesley Club which in June sent a box of 125 carefully chosen books to the Stone Hall library. A competition was held for a design for a bookplate to be used in house libraries and the prize was awarded to Janet Robinson, '38. This interesting bookplate is now ready to be put in the books next year. Each house elected a librarian at the fall elections who has taken charge of the books and magazines in her house during the year. The number of undergraduates in the College was practically in- the same this year as last, but the number in residence was creased by 14. This would account for an increase of 1,260 meals served at house tables, but the actual increase reported by the Dietitian is 31,789. This implies either a large expansion of hospitality on the part of the College, or else a much more constant attendance at the regular meals by resident students. The latter explanation seems to be the true one, and it is generally agreed that this is in large measure due to the excellent quality and variety of the food provided. Great credit is due to the Dietitian, Mrs. Covey, and her stafT, as well as to the Purveyor, Miss Florence Tucker, for the accomplishment of this program, at an increased cost of only $3,500. Besides the regular program of meals, the College has provided

32 Report of the Dean of Residence

teas for students one day a week in most of the houses and after- dinner coffee in the hving rooms on Wednesdays and Sundays; has furnished materials for 26 picnics to the Outing Club and Riding Club; and entertained 248 students and members of the faculty at six department dinners. These department dinners were an innovation and have been greatly appreciated. The regular dinner was served in the guest dining room at Tower Court, without charge to those in residence. Non-residents paid the regular price for college dinner, so that the College was under no expense. Speaking followed the dinner, and a question period closed the evening. A similar plan was carried out for five meetings of the Forum, a student organization which studies current social and political problems. For these meetings a house dining room was used by sending the students of that house out to dine in other houses. After the dinner chairs were provided for those who could not be accommodated at dinner, so that a large group were able to hear the speaking and the discussions. These meetings were closed at eight o'clock. The speeches were made by members of the faculty, by students, and by distinguished visiting lecturers. Great interest was shown throughout the College. The membership in Forum rose to equal that of Barnswallows and Chris- tian Association, and in the spring elections the President of Forum was made a major officer. Both these plans are felt to have distinct educational value and will be continued in the coming year. Respectfully submitted, Mary C. Ewing, Dean of Residence.

33 REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN

To the President of Wellesley College: I have the honor to submit the following report of the library for the year ending June 30, 1938:

Retrospect

On November 19, 1937, the Wellesley College Library at- tained the age of sixty- two years, having been formally opened on the same date in 1875. When first opened, it was stocked with some 8,000 volumes from the personal library of Mr. Durant, and its first increase came from a fund of S800 collected by students in honor of the event. As early as 1877, the college circular included in the list of desiderata "money and books for the library," grown in the two intervening years to 14,000 volumes. In twenty years from the beginning, the library had increased to 45,500 volumes, with a subscription list of 175 journals. Forty- three years after its organization, i.e., in 1918, the book collection numbered 85,469 volumes, a content which twenty years later, at the time of this writing, has been enlarged to approximately 182,000 accessioned volumes, with a periodical list of more than 660 journals. Growth in volume content is only one of the impressive developments made over the years. A new library, completed in 1910, was outgrown and enlarged in 1915. Distinguished gifts of rare materials, as, for example, the Browning manuscript letters, and whole special libraries, such as the English Poetry, the Plimpton, and the Goodspeed collections, have written the Col- lege into the list of those institutions that have gone beyond the utilitarian stage of library service and into that of making provision of original and scholarly materials as a challenge to intellectual work. For the last twenty-seven years, and during the period of most conspicuous library development. Miss Ethel Dane Roberts was a member of the library staff. She took office as Assistant Libra- rian in 1909, was made Acting Librarian in 1916, became Libra-

34 Report of the Librarian

rian in 1917, and retired as Librarian Emeritus in June, 1937. It is not probable that any future library administration will cover a period so important as the years of Miss Roberts' connection with the College. In those years the library changed from an institution of relatively modest proportions to one of distinct importance. Through that change, Miss Roberts led the library with entire devotion, and with wisdom which won and held the respect and support of those set over her in authority. Her colleagues of the library staff and her successor in the post of Libra- rian gratefully acknowledge their debt to her as they set about the large enterprise of carrying on where she left off.

The Present

Statistics given on succeeding pages present that part of the work of the past twelve months which can be reduced to facts and figures. These show neither conspicuous increase nor decline, but only a year of normal activity. The more important if more intangible ends sought in the work of the library defy exact description and cannot be measured statistically. But out of the elements which contribute to these imponderable values a few have been selected for brief discussion in succeeding paragraphs.

The Friends of the Wellesley College Library

The generous friendship of the group known by this name has resulted in genuine progress this year. Under the leadership of Mr. Frederic H. Curtiss, a trustee member of the Library Coun- cil, as Chairman, and Miss Laura M. Dwight, '06, Executive Secretary, work has gone on productively. The present membership numbers sixty-two, of whom twenty-two are called Pa- trons by virtue of having given as much as $100 to the treasury of the Friends. It is the purpose of the organization to do two things: first, to arouse the interest of connoisseurs and biblio- philes who will give either books or money to increase the already important holdings of the College in rare books; second, to aid in building up by purchase the reference resources of the library. The most important acquisition of the year came as a result of the second of these purposes of the Friends. It is Hansard's

35 Wellesley College

Parliamentary Debates, in 1,035 volumes, covering the years 1803- 1937. Of this "munificent" gift, Professor Judith B. Williams {School and Society, ]\x\y 30, 1938, 150-51) says:

"Through the availability of documents such as Hansard when these are a part of the ordinary working equipment in a college library, it is possible to extend farther and farther for the social sciences the type of teaching which the student of natural science expects as a matter of course in the undergraduate college. Initiative, critical powers, inde- pendence of judgment are developed, and mere memorizing of the results of the work of others is reduced to a minimum."

The Executive Secretary, in addition to conducting volumi- nous correspondence, issued for the Friends their "Bulletin Num- ber 1." This is a small printed brochure describing the rare books novv^ at the head of the want list of such books at the library. They are: Dante, Opera, Ashendene Press edition; the Kelmscott Chaucer; the Doves Bible; the Nuremberg Chronicle; the First Folio of Shakespeare. The Friends' book plate, presented by Mrs. C. Nichols Greene, for whom it was designed by Miss Louise B. Graves, was accepted with enthusiasm and now adds an increased touch of beauty to books as they come in. At a meeting of the Executive Committee held in the Treasure Room on January 29, 1938, Miss Caroline Hazard, President of Wellesley College, 1899-1910, donor of the Browning love letters, and also of a distinguished collection of illuminated manuscripts of thirteenth to fifteenth century music, was made an honorary member of the Friends by unanimous vote of the whole committee. It is not possible to conclude any report of the activities of our Friends without acknowledging the Librarian's debt to Mr. Cur- tiss. Miss Dwight, and Mrs. Walter S. Tower, '16, also a trustee member of the Library Council. Mr. Curtiss and Miss Dwight are especially responsible for the results chronicled above, as well as for other plans which promise much for the future. Mrs. Tower and her husband have been particularly generous in connection with the purchase of Hansard, and Mrs. Tower has made a personal study of the rare book market in New York

36 Report of the Librarian in order to assist with the purchase of fine books when the Friends are able to enlarge their activities in this direction.

Gifts

Gifts, if described in full and with adequate expression of gratitude, would provide material for an annual catalogue of greater extent than the pages available for reporting all library activities. It is therefore a genuine hardship to select for especial comment only such gifts as illustrate the varying types of material that have been given, and to limit description of so much that is interesting to a bare statement of titles. However, behind the few words that space permits lies the fact that the library cherishes its gifts and the spirit that inspires them as its best possessions. 1. From the French Government some 175 volumes have already been received of a gift made in recognition of the contribution of the institution to the development and spread of French literature and science.

2. Miss Caroline Hazard's gifts were as follows: manuscripts from the correspondence of her grandfather, Rowland G. Haz- ard, with John Stuart Mill; the typewritten copy as well as the manuscript of her own book. Shards and Scarabs; the first edition of the same dated 1931 an water on work, ; original color, "Sunrise the Desert," signed "C. H., 1931," and used in reproduction as the frontispiece of Shards and Scarabs; twenty-five copies of Nailer Tom's Diary, published under her own editorship, in an edition limited to 400 copies, by the Merrymount Press, Boston, 1930, these copies being for exchange purposes. 3. Miss Helen Sard Hughes, Professor of English Literature, from her private library selected for the Treasure Room: (a) a in Avon, poem three parts, by J. Huckell, printed by John Baskerville, London, 1758, said to be William Shenstone's own copy, with his manuscript notes and criticisms written into the book; (b) an autograph letter, signed, from William Shenstone to Lady Luxborough, dated 30 December, 1751. The letter is three pages in length and is an announcement of his brother's death.

' 4. Miss Katharine Balderston, 1 6, Associate Professor of Eng- lish Literature, also generously parted with a manuscript in order 37 Wellesley College

that it might be permanently located in the Treasure Room. It is in six and a half pages, being "A statement of what passed between Dr. Percy, Bishop of Dromore, and Messrs. Cadwell and Davies concerning the life of Dr. Goldsmith prefixed to his mis-

cellaneous works in 4 vols, . . . 1801." 5. Miss Margaret Sherwood, Professor Emeritus of English Literature, presented to the library an original autograph letter from Catherine Breshkovsky, dated Petrograd, 28 July, 1917. The letter is of particular interest in connection with the visits to this campus of "The Little Grandmother of the Russian Revolu- tion."

6. From a member of the library staff. Miss Ethel A. Pennell, '98, the library received three original autograph letters as follows: from F. D. Millet, November 15, 1911 (?); from Kenyon Cox, June 15, 1911; from E. H. Blashfield, June 12, 1911. 7. Mr. Frederic H. Curtiss contributed to the Treasure Room three volumes of interest to students of English poetry, the choic- est of which is Samuel Butler's Hudibras, Parts I, II, and III, 1678, first complete edition of the work and first edition of Part III.

8. The manuscript of On Journey, the autobiography of Vida D. Scudder, Professor Emeritus of English Literature, sent to the Treasure Room this year by Miss Scudder with additions and corrections in her own hand, seems to belong by a sort of divine right to the institution with which so much of it is concerned. The gift sets a precedent which it is hoped other authors with Wellesley associations will follow. 9. Efficiency Expert, by Florence Converse, '93, a manuscript written entirely by hand, and so fair a copy that even in its physical form it is a work of art, is now also the possession of the Treasure Room. 10. A collection numbering some 619 pieces, chiefly books but containing a few documents, together with a life mask of Abra- ham Lincoln from the original by Leonard W. Volk, came as a gift from Dr. and Mrs. S. G. Elbert. Mrs. Elbert was Ella Smith, '88. For many years Dr. and Mrs. Elbert have been col- lectors of an especial library on abolition, slavery, and reconstruc- tion in the United States. In memory of Professor Katharine E. 38 Report of the Librarian

Coman, and to mark the occasion of the fiftieth reunion of her class, Mrs. Elbert gave the library to Wellesley. 11. Mrs. Caroline Maddocks Beard, '92, was famous in this country and in Europe for a column on foods and cooking which she contributed to the Chicago Tribune for a period of twenty years. She wrote under the pen-name of "Jane Eddington," and her work was syndicated as The Tribune Cook Book. She was also the author of Eat, Drink and Be Merry with Dickens, After her death in April, 1938, about 1,000 books and pamphlets, including her general as well as her special library, already bequeathed by her to the College, were forwarded to the library through the good offices of her brother and a friend, Mrs. Caroline Miles Hill.

12. The Smithsonian Scientific Series, in 12 volumes, was received from a former student of Wellesley College, Mrs. William Henry Blood, Jr., in memory of her husband, William Henry Blood, Jr. This is a numbered copy, especially marked for the College. 1 3. Two sumptuous volumes made up of water colors and pen- and-ink drawings of foliage and wild flowers of Wellesley were the gift of Mrs. Robert Soutter. 14. An alumna of the College, known to the world as Madame Chiang Kai-Shek, but affectionately remembered on this campus as Mayling Soong, '17, found time in the midst of the cares of state to deposit in this library two books significant in the light of events in China; her own work, Sian: A Coup d'Etat, and Chiang Kai-Shek: Soldier and Statesman, 2 volumes, Shanghai, 1937, by Hollington K. Tong. 15. The Misses Florence Bigelow, '85, and Gertrude Bigelow, '93, gave an almost complete set of the Atlantic Monthly, which is especially perfect for the early years. The gift was made as a memorial to their father, William Perkins Bigelow, and is to be used as a set held in reserve to insure the library against loss of its original set, now a part of the working collection and hence subject to risk of loss and damage. 16. Miss Elizabeth Dutch and her sister. Miss Marjorie Hay- ward Dutch, '38, gave an autograph letter from Abraham Lin- coln to their great-grandfather, Dr. Julian Monson Sturtevant, President of Illinois College from 1844 to 1876, The gift was 39 Wellesley College made in memory of their mother, Mrs. Faith Sturtevant Dutch, '06.

Not all of the gifts of the year were in the form of books. Miss Margaret H. Jackson, Professor Emeritus of Italian, compiler of the Plimpton catalogue, and first custodian of that collection, gave her services on two afternoons a week for a period during the second semester, to keep the Plimpton Room open and to show its manuscripts and books to visitors. The trustees and the President of the College, when assigning the undesignated portion of the alumnae gift, set aside S2,000 for library purposes. The grant will be used chiefly for the purchase of reference sets and monumental works too expensive to be charged against the regular library budget. The Committee on Scholarships, working in cooperation with the Personnel Bureau, assigned four students who held cooperative scholarships to work forty hours each in the library during the second semester. Care was taken not to use these students for purely mechanical tasks, but to give them experience more permanently valuable. Before the end of the year they were of real value in releasing members of the permanent staff" to do independent work long deferred for lack of help. Also, they were a satisfaction to the friends and fellow students whom they served.

Purchases

It is with especial pleasure that the library has added to its collection Arthurian Legends in Medieval Art, by Roger Sherman Loomis and Laura Hibbard Loomis, '05, Professor of English Literature. This choice volume is the first attempt to collect a complete corpus of Arthurian illustrations in the decorative arts and in manuscripts. Other significant additions were made as follows: the beauti- fully illustrated Treasures of Illumination: English Manuscripts of the Fourteenth Century, described by the Rev. Canon F. Harrison; the catalogue of the famous Ashley Library, complete in 11 volumes, all a mine of bibliographical information useful for identifying rare editions; Early English Furniture and Woodwork, 2 volumes, by Cescinsky and Gribble, and The Architectural Heritage oj the Pis- cataqua, by J. M. Howells; The Birds oj America, by John James 40 Report of the Librarian

Audubon, edition of 1937; The Witchcraft Delusion in New England, 3 volumes, by Samuel G. Drake; Johann Grasse's Tresor de Livres Rares et Precieux, 8 volumes, 1859-1869; The Catalogue of the Wjmberley Jones De Renne Georgia Library, in 3 volumes; a series of documents of medieval history, in 8 volumes, under the title Antiquitates Italicae Medii Aevi, by Muratori, was purchased at a remarkably low price, thus adding to the library another work of the man "rightly regarded as the father of Italian history." Another purchase made in the interest of research is that of a projector for reading films of books and manuscripts. With such a machine available, a scholar working on this campus may secure from distant cities and countries a film of some unique book or manuscript, which may then be read in comfort in the local library.

The Tear^s Work

1. Faculty relations. On October 15, a letter from the Libra- rian was mailed to the chairman of each department of instruction, as well as to the administrative officers of the College, asking them to make suggestions for library development. A cordial response was received, information in the replies was tabulated and reported upon to the Library Committee, and the Librarian centered her work for the year around a study of the problems brought to light in the correspondence, and by conferences that resulted. At various times during April and May, the departments kindly received the Librarian at their departmental meetings and gave her an opportunity to follow up the earlier correspondence by presenting certain library matters for their consideration. By the consent of the President and the kindness of the Library Committee, the Librarian was relieved for the present from the chairmanship of the committee. Under the chairmanship of Professor Killough for 1937-38 and of Professor E. E. Curtis for 1938-39, the committee has been both a support and inspiration to the Librarian. 1 1 is the hope of the Librarian that a realization of this fact is a compensation to the members for the always taxing responsibility of committee work. 2. Student relations. A student library committee was ap-

41 Wellesley College pointed by the Senate at the request of the Librarian. Member- ship consists of two representatives from each class in college. Its aims are: to express to the Librarian student opinion on library matters; to interpret to students library policies and plans; and to assist the Librarian in the selection of books and the development of services of particular interest to students. The improvement of house libraries, consisting of small collections of useful reference and recreational books, has been an interest of the Dean of Residence for some years past. This year the library cooperated with enthusiasm in the enterprise. A meeting was held under library auspices, a list of suitable books for purchase, supplementing an existing list, was prepared, and a small prize was offered for the best suggestive list of books compiled by one of the student librarians. The prize was won by Frances Harvey, librarian of the house library at Munger. Under the chairmanship of Miss Metcalf, Associate and Refer- ence Librarian, the faculty committee on the prize of $50 for the best private library owned by a junior arranged four lectures on the selection and purchase of books by students for their private libraries. These lectures were held in the Brooks Room, at the library, and were given by Professor Stearns, Professor Treudley, Mrs. Lunn, and Miss McCrum. The prize was awarded last year to Miss Ada Eynon, whose library was composed largely of books in the French language and about French life and literature. 3. The Treasure Room, exhibitions, and lectures. Exhibi- tions from the Treasure Room were arranged on the following subjects: Literary Forgeries of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries; first editions and facsimiles of the works of William Blake first editions of (two exhibitions) ; Coleridge, Wordsworth, Shelley; first editions and manuscripts of Collins, Gray, and Shenstone; works illustrating the Reformation in Germany; Browning treasures, arranged for the Boston Browning Society, when the members visited the College and were entertained at tea on May 7, 1938. Each exhibition except one centered around a lecture, or literary anniversary, or was arranged at the request of a professor who was teaching a subject illustrated by the exhibit. Three exhibits from the Plimpton Collection were 42 Report of the Librarian

arranged with the same end in view. Two of these were planned by members of the department of Italian. During the year eleven classes from the College and one class from Pine Manor met in the Treasure Room for class periods devoted to the study of rare editions. Exclusive of the annual freshman tour, 850 visitors received the services of the Curator of the Treasure Room during the year. The majority of visitors were from the United States and Canada, but England, Korea, France, Italy, and Japan were also represented. A public lecture on Literary Forgeries of the Nineteenth Century was given by Dr. Theodore W. Koch, Librarian of Northwestern University, on October 12, in Pendleton Hall. The lecture was of particular interest to Wellesley, since its own fine collection of literary forgeries had been used by Dr. Koch in his research on the subject. On Tuesday evening, March 15, in Pendleton Hall, the Friends of the Wellesley College Library had the honor of spon- soring an illustrated lecture on "Blake's Gates of Paradise," by one of their own number, Mr. Chauncey Brewster Tinker, Sterling Professor of English at Yale University, Charles Eliot Norton Professor, Harvard University, 1937-1938. 4. The Staff. The permanent staff now numbers 20. The division of the work includes seven departments, —reference, order, circulation, periodicals, cataloguing, the Treasure Room, and general administration, with which is included the Plimpton Room. Seven of the ten departmental libraries at scattered locations on the campus have departmental librarians who are on the staff of the general library and who devote to these libraries amounts of time varying with different needs. There are two full-time clerical workers on the staff. From student assistants and from part-time clerical helpers the general library used in the past year 4,268 hours of work. In this connection, it is interesting to note that Vassar uses in one year as many as 8,746 hours from student assistants. It is the hope of the Librarian that each year the staff may select some project upon which to work together, in a research fashion. This year a staff manual has been written, in which, so far as possible, the whole work of the library has been reduced to Wellesley College a written statement. While the immediate purpose of this un- dertaking was to produce a complete book of instructions for carrying on the work of the library, the ultimate purpose looks to studying existing methods in the light of all that can be learned about similar procedures at other institutions. Finally, it is hoped that a perfected staff manual can be published under an editorial committee selected from the staff. The body of literature available to college libraries for purposes of comparison and improvement is so limited that a carefully written staff manual is a genuine contribution to knowledge. Particular attention is called to—the statistics of books catalogued and recatalogued this year, a total of 9,384. Analytical cards to the number of 1,828 were also prepared for the catalogue of the Music Library, in an effort to bring out under the names of composers material otherwise buried in large sets and monumental collections. The catalogue of the Music Library was also improved by the addition of cross-references to the accepted form of proper names. In addition, a file giving authority for the form of name used was prepared. A statistical computation which appeared in 1935 in a Univer- * into sity of Chicago publication shows that 117 activities enter the processes by which books are catalogued. When one con- siders the bibliographical difficulty of cataloguing the unusual rare books which the library is fortunate enough to own and the constant need for correcting the terminology of the catalogue to keep it up to date, and then realizes that only three people on the staff" have devoted approximately their whole time to cataloguing, one feels the pressure under which the work is done. In consequence, it seems wise to give careful consideration to an opinion taken from the article just cited:

"There is a growing realization on the part of librarians that the proper development of libraries is being retarded because many librarians are too busy with such routine and clerical processes as typing catalogue cards, accessioning books, and counting circulation, to meet adequately the book needs of their communities. The conviction that the correct division of labor in the library would remedy this situation * Akers, S. G. "Relation of the Professional and Clerical Division of Cataloguing Activities." Library Quarterly, 5: 101-136, 1935, 44 Report of the Librarian

has led to an increasing interest in the professional-clerical division of library activities."

The staff has received a welcome addition to its ranks in the person of Miss Helen Joy Sleeper, who after a leave of absence for the first semester of next year will exchange her assistant professorship in Music for the post of Research Librarian in the Music Library. This appointment inaugurates a policy which the library hopes to pursue in the future, namely that of the appointment of scholar-librarians who will share, on the basis of subject specialization, the growing reference work of the library.

The Future

1. The most exciting as well as the most difficult library problem before the College is that of designing and financing an improved library building. However, no regret should be felt because of the need to make haste slowly in this direction. On the contrary, it is fortunate that time and thought may have full value in perfecting the library of the future. Between 1915 and 1926 the building committee at Dartmouth College submitted six reports outlining requirements and plans for a new library. On June 1 9, 1 926, the revised plans of the last report became a possibility through the gift of SI, 000, 000. Construction was begun in July of the same year, and the result is a building in an unusual degree beautiful and useful. The opportunity to study and solve building problems at Wellesley will also be a rewarding one, which should, some day, result in a building so scientifically con- structed and so pleasant to be in as to bring about among the students a renaissance in the use of books. The faculty building committee has been at work since 1933. This year, the committee elected Miss Elizabeth Manwaring chairman. Library plans and building programs have been collected from a generous number of colleges and are being studied for their bearing on the problem here. 2. As the structure of the building needs change, so the objec- tives of the library need reexamination. Although called a college library, this library by virtue of its size and quality shares with Bryn Mawr, Dartmouth, Oberlin, Smith, and Vassar the distinction of being classed with university libraries in the list for

45 Wellesley College which statistics have been assembled and published at Princeton for a number of years. Of the forty-two institutions in this in classification, 1936-37 sixteen had more than fifty persons working on the library staff; only five had fewer than twenty-one; twenty-seven spent more than $40,000 for books. It appears from such comparisons that the library at Wellesley, as at a few of her sister colleges, has been economically administered compared with expenditures at many institutions of which it is considered the peer. A problem to be faced for the determination of future policies is whether the library shall develop by increased expenditures more of its scholarly possibilities or restrict its activities according to a definite policy. To illustrate: the creation of ten departmental libraries has not had its natural corollary in the organization of a service to make the resources, scattered in this way, centrally available by the use of a messenger to deliver books from one library when they are needed in another. Service from trained attendants has been kept at a minimum in the departmental libraries. Where this is satisfactory and where the department can do its own reference work and supply supervision from its own staff", the result is admirable. In a few cases the departments feel handicapped by lack of library service. Yet giving even the supervision that exists costs the library time which in the average college library with few department collections would be available for perfecting work in the general library. The rare books in the library redound to its credit, but since the Curator of the English Poetry Collection, who is also Associate Librarian, has had no relief from her other duties as Head of the Circulation Department, work in the Treasure Room has been done in time literally snatched from the many small daily demands upon her. Annually there is an increase in the number of requests to use the Treasure Room for research, to have photostats of its materials made, to give opinions on points of interest in connection with controversial literary questions. Shall an effort be made to develop the prestige of the library by fostering this part of its work through adequate provision for doing it; or should the present library limit its function to that of preservation rather than use of these rare books? Until a clear-cut decision can be made and

4iS' , Report of the Librarian put into effect, a very helpful measure would be the allocating of certain scholarships to the library similar to those in operation at cooperative houses. Some students naturally prefer work with books to other types of work; and if they work at least seven hours a week, and are available in sufficient numbers, they can release members of the permanent staff for work with rare books and for similar scholarly enterprises. 3. The allowance from the total book budget to the general library is inadequate. For reference books, for books of interest to several departments but not chargeable to one, for recreational reading and for general cultural books, the allowance is $1,000. Since reference books are the most expensive books of all, a fair average price to set up for cost per title of books bought out of this fund would be %5, or 200 books out of the 3,654 added by purchase last year. The allowance of $1,500 for periodicals and binding has not covered the actual cost of these items for years. It is perfectly true that the Librarian has access at the very end of the fiscal year to the surplus unexpended by departments, and thus manages to spend more money than the law allows her. However, all year purchasing is inhibited, departments are troubled over inadequacies in the general library, gaps occur in the collection because departments feel too poor for expensive purchases. It is the earnest recommendation of the Librarian that an increase be made in the funds for the general library and that a separate undesignated fund be created, to be left in the control of the Librarian and the Library Committee. Departments with an unusual number of important new books appearing in their fields, or starting new courses, or needing a new encyclopedia or the complete file of an additional journal could then petition the committee for help and get it, if the case seemed to merit it.

Conclusion

At the moment, an investigation of significance in college library history is being financed by the Carnegie Corporation of New York and carried on under the auspices of the Association of American Colleges. Its purpose is "to explore the possibilities and investigate the means by which the college library may be- 47 Wellesley College come a more effective part of the educational program of the * institution in which it is located." If the foregoing report proves anything it is that this library has never existed in a vacuum, but has always represented a correlation of effort on the part of the administration, the faculty, and the library staff. The end always sought in this correlation was to produce a library effective in the educational program of the college, hence the idea now being investigated is not new here. However, a reexamination of first principles is a healthful procedure for a library as for an individual. Therefore, holding fast to its heritage from the past, gratefully acknowledging its debt for help from beyond its own walls, and expressing appreciation of the devotion of its staff as well, the library dedicates itself to a search for new means by which to become a more effective part of the educational program of Wellesley College. Respectfully submitted, Blanche Prichard McCrum, Librarian.

51 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE PERSONNEL BUREAU

To the President of Wellesley College:

The Director of the Personnel Bureau has the honor of presenting the following report for the year ending October 31, 1938: One change has occurred in the staff of the Personnel Bureau. Miss Elvira Ogden, a graduate of Radcliffe College, has taken the place of Mrs. Crooks who resigned in March. In the individual conferences with students, the Personnel Bureau had the assistance of the Dean of 1939 who interviewed the juniors in Claflin and of the Dean of 1940 who interviewed the sophomores in Severance. The Personnel Bureau conducted two meetings with the freshmen during the opening week of college and gave three tests, the Study of Values by Vernon and Allport, the Personality Inven- tory by Bernreuter, and an informal occupational interest test. Seventeen students were referred to the Bureau for tests by the college psychiatrist and others were given as the need arose. The Medical Aptitude Test was given to thirteen applicants of whom six are now in medical schools. One student took the Legal Capacity Test given by Columbia University. Eleven took the examinations for approval of oral work for teachers of modern languages in New York State. Two meetings of the Personnel Board have been held during the year. On December 8 the Board considered the subject of Teacher Placement. A report was given by the Associate in the Bureau of a study which is being made of two hundred graduates of the past five years who have entered the teaching profession through positions secured directly after graduation, through apprenticeships, or after graduate study and professional training. The second meeting, held on March 30, had for its subject Remedial Reading at Wellesley College. Dr. Rothney, of the Department of Education, and Mrs. Alper, of the Department of Psychology, were the speakers. They brought out the present- day methods used for defective readers, warned against over-

52 Report of Director of Personnel Bureau dependence upon mechanical devices, and stressed the importance of reading skill not as an end in itself but as a means for "social understanding." Furthermore, most of the 2 per cent of the present freshman class who need this remedial training have in addition general problems and profit by the personal contacts thereby made possible. In the Committee on Summer Appointments, the Director served as chairman for choosing the undergraduate assistant at the Bryn Mawr Summer School and the Wellesley representative at the New England Junior Month. For the first, Dorothy Voss was chosen and for the second, Adelaide McCormick. Most satisfactory reports have come to us of both of these students. To this Committee also was referred the choosing of delegates to the New England Institute of International Relations and to the Stu- dent Peace Service. The Committee on Vocational Information arranged seventeen meetings in the course of the year covering a wide range of occupations and attracting an average attendance of sixty. Seven programs were arranged in cooperation with departments of the College, one with the Social Service Committee of the Christian Association, and one with the Forum. Four members of the faculty and twelve alumnae were among the speakers. a In April, representatives from the personnel offices of number of the New England colleges met at Wellesley to consider greater uniformity in the terminology used in placement procedure. It is upon the basis of these revised classifications that the placements are computed for this current report. In the placement demands made of the Personnel Bureau was reflected the general economic situation. In the field of teach- of these calls was ing, however, although the total number smaller (216 in 1937-38, 247 in 1936-37), the placements have increased (38 in 1937-38, 29 in 1936-37). An analysis of the calls shows that the number from colleges and private secondary schools remains about the same, while the number from the schools has increased. private elementary field and the special The calls coming from the public schools continue to decline in number, although there were several from the superintendents of several large school systems who had not reported vacancies for S3 Wellesley College

years. Unfortunately there were comparatively few candidates who could meet the requirements of the larger systems, since our recent graduates have been unable to secure the requisite experience. The placements have been predominantly in the private secondary school field (21 in 1937-38, as compared with 11 in 1936-37), with one in a public school and six in colleges and junior colleges. The situation in the non-teaching fields reflects even more sharply the depression of this past year. Confining the number of calls to permanent placements as distinguished from temporary work, the number dropped from 260 in 1937 to 191 in 1938, a loss of 27 per cent. The number of placements decreased also, but in smaller proportion, from 50 to 41, so that the percentage of placements to calls in 1938, 23 per cent, actually exceeds that of 1937, 19 per cent. The so-called "business group" was responsible for 93 calls in 1937, as compared with 70 calls in 1938, and many of the latter came from the offices of professional organizations and institutions rather than from commercial houses. In the secretarial field the tendency continues to call upon the Col- lege for candidates who offer special qualifications in particular fields such as science, languages, mathematics, and literature, in addition to office techniques. While there have been some excellent salaries off"ered in this office group, those for the beginner have receded to the levels of three and four years ago. In the field of educational administration there were eleven calls for deans, ten for headmistresses, five for private school executives, two for heads of lower schools, two for directors of admission in colleges, and one for a director in the bureau of research in a large city system. In response to these calls the Bureau placed two alumnae in charge of college offices of admission and one as head of a large private secondary school. In many cases it is difficult to make nominations because the number of available candidates has been affected by the limited number of candidates who went into teaching about a decade ago and who might now be suitable for administrative positions. Turning to the class of 1938, the percentages of the class in the larger classifications of working, 33 per cent, studying, 32 per cent, those not desiring positions, 13 per cent, and those unoc- 54 Report of Director of Personnel Bureau cupied and wanting positions, 12 per cent, remains in general the same. The proportion of those entering the teaching as compared to the non-teaching occupations remains the same as in recent years, one to two. The role of the apprenticeship as an entrance into teaching continues to be shown through the four- teen apprenticeships reported, all but two of which are in private schools. There continues to be almost no opportunity for inex- perienced graduates in the public schools without further training, with only one candidate employed this year as a regular teacher in her own vicinity. The examination of the group of non-teaching workers of the class of 1 938 shows the actual number in office work as almost the same (28 in 1938, 27 in 1937), although the character of the work has changed. The figures indicate that it is largely clerical, filing, and general office work, with little emphasis upon statistical, correspondence, or the service work of recent years. Salary re- turns are commensurate with the routine nature of the work and the median is given as $900 this year as compared with $1,020 for the office group last year. The decrease in calls and placement in the department store field is notable and is probably due to a combination of causes, a certain lack of interest on the part of candidates, an increasing wariness on the part of the store executives, and the general depression of their business. The demand for both paid and unpaid workers in the technician's field continues and the number working in the field has increased this last year. Although the number of members of 1938 engaged in further study is about the same as in recent years, the slight tendency toward a smaller number attending business schools should be watched, as there has been a consistent though slight decline in the past few years. There has been some increase in the number reporting complete programs of professional training. The undergraduate employment program continues to meet a real need in the college community. The thirty Cooperative Scholarships oflfered by the College and assigned through the Ap- pointment Secretary have met a real demand on the part of students for regular work throughout the year. This type of work, with regularly assigned positions in the library, on the exchanges, 5S Wellesley College and as agents, is more desirable than odd jobs and an attempt is made to provide as many opportunities as possible. There has been a steady increase in the number of calls received during the increase in past four years, and the placements also continue to the field of student employment, although the demand for summer workers and the number of placements have fallen off somewhat during the past year. A study of the figures of recent classes seems to indicate an op- and position of two tendencies, one to enter professional work, the other to take blind alley jobs with but little future. The short-time planning, while explicable, militates against the real advance of women in business and the professions and constitutes one of the most constant problems in that part of personnel work which has to do with placement. of As in past years, the Director has been continually conscious the generous and willing cooperation and the unsparing efforts of the staff, and wishes to acknowledge again the cordial assistance of the faculty. Respectfully submitted, Alice I. Perry Wood, Director.

REPORT OF THE TREASURER 1937-1938

To the Trustees of Wellesley College:

I submit the following report of the financial operation of the college for the year ended June 30, 1938. James Dean, Treasurer. To the Trustees of Wellesley College:

There are so few outstanding points of interest in the financial operations for 1937-38 that it is somewhat difficult to tell which call for emphasis. Plant. Perhaps the item of interest to the greatest number is the work begun on the swimming pool and recreation building. When Mary Hemenway Hall was erected in 1909 the funds available for the building did not permit the inclusion of a swimming pool. Through the intervening years funds had been slowly accumulating until generous gifts from Mr. and Mrs. George H. Davenport assured the much-needed pool. Meantime, growing needs called for enlarged accommodations, so that final plans for the new building are on a three unit basis,—two units to be built now and the third deferred for future consideration. The two units under construction will cost approximately 3400,000, of which the College is contributing 3200,000. The fund is still open for contributions, and gifts to reduce the cost to the College would be most welcome. Other external changes include the disappearance of the old barn and the slow-paced horses plodding over the campus. In place thereof are automotive equipment and a new grounds service building near "The Pit." Among many miscellaneous repairs are the replacement of plumbing in one stack of bathrooms in Shafer and the revision and extension of plumbing in Fiske. Funds and Investments. Additions to the principal of funds amounted to 3206,510. Expenditures from the principal of funds for buildings and extraordinary repairs reduced this figure to a net gain in funds principal of 313,312. There were two noteworthy alumnae gifts. The Mary Hemenway Alumnae Association turned over to the College cash and securities in the amount of 311,272 as a loan fund for students in the graduate Department of Hygiene and Physical Education. Of this amount 38,500 established a permanent fund of which the income only is to be used; while, for the present, the balance is held available for current loans. The gift of the Wellesley College Alumnae Association was 325,725—37,800 for permanent funds, 36,425 for special purposes, 311,500 to the Trustees for such use as they may decide.

80 Wellesley College

Profit on securities, plus interest added to principal, increased the Securities Investment Reserve to 3266,644. The unusual fluctuation in the price of securities is reflected in the market value of June 30 which was 13.3 per cent below book value, a decrease in value of 8.8 per cent from the figures of the previous year. Income and Expenditures. Income appropriated for current expenses during the year, with a comparison for the previous year, was as follows: 1937-38 1936-37 Percentage Percentage of Total of Total

Students 31,345,316 74.0 $1,326,064 74.4 Investments* 333,374 18.3 329,938 18.5

Miscellaneous 139,273 7 . 7 127,255 7 . 1

Total 31,817,963 100.0 31,783,257 100.0

This analysis shows an increase in gross income of 334,706. Al- though the fall registration showed a gain over the previous year of only seven students, there were fewer non-residents. Various changes extended accommodations in dormitories so that student revenue shows a considerable gain. Investments income appropriated is 33,437 more than in the preceding year. The main addition to miscellaneous income came from the sale of the property at No. 20 Dover Road. Gross expenditures increased by 330,381. The largest increase was in the appropriation for pensions and insurance. Changes approved by the Trustees increased the college contribution from 344,000 to 365,000. To the general Reserve Fund for Depreciation the College added 348,984, and from that general fund expended for the grounds service building and extraordinary repairs 354,876. The operations for the year resulted in a surplus of 35,836. Wise direction by those responsible for financial policy, and the careful cooperation of those responsible for current operations are again cause for gratitude and congratulation. Respectfully submitted, Evelyn A. Munroe, Assistant Treasurer. * For total investments income for the year, see page 94. 81 WELLESLEY COLLEGE
