October 16, 1936

The Trustees of Wellesley College, in formal meeting assembled, desire to make record in the permanent annals of the College of their profound gratitude for the life and of their deep sorrow because of the death of Ellen Fitz Pendleton, the sixth president of the College:

It is, therefore, resolved that the Trustees of Wellesley College do make record of their gratitude to Almighty God for the life of this wise and noble woman, who for fifty-four years lived within the circle of the College and for exactly half a century spent herself in its service. Recalling the gentleness and the dignity, the wisdom and the vision of this gifted leader of the College, together with her devotion to the service of truth and to the lighting of the minds of the many thousands who came thither, the Trustees do make permanent memorial of their gratitude to Him who was the Author and Sustainer of her life.

It is further resolved, that the Trustees do make record of their admiration for the great achievements of Ellen Fitz Pendleton as the gifted administrator and builder of the steadily growing College. Wise and far-seeing as an educator, just and firm and yet sympathetic with her fellow laborers, tireless and cou- rageous as a builder of both the plant and the vested funds of the College, she was a magnificent incarnation of womanly poise and dignity in the midst of a confused and troubled time. Now that she has laid down her work, a host of memories rise up to declare the College signally blessed in her amazing fitness for the task to which she gave herself utterly.

It is finally resolved that the Trustees make record of their own and of the general grief, great not only for the College, suddenly deprived of her mature counsels and gracious presence, but great by reason of the loving esteem in which she was held by all who knew her well. It could not be otherwise; for to know her well was to be drawn to her and to be drawn to her was to esteem her greatly. Strength and dignity were her garments, and she opened her mouth with wisdom, but always kindness was on her tongue. In word and deed she gave outward and visible proof that she was "a woman who loved the Lord"— worthy of all praise.

The fruit of her life is a better world and, in the hearts of those who knew and loved her, the deeply held conviction that a great spirit has passed this way and, in her passing, has left to us and to those who shall come after us both more light and a larger peace. MINUTE ADOPTED BY THE ACADEMIC COUNCIL OF THE FACULTY

October 1, 1936

We, the faculty of Wellesley College, meet to do honor to the memory of Ellen Fitz Pendleton, whose swift passing, at the end of her many years of service, as member of the faculty. Dean, President, seems less a death than a triumph. She went in her great hour, when the very air about her was warm with her praise, coming from those who had in any way shared her working life, the trustees of the college, the faculty, her fellow alumnae, the undergraduates, the members of her household, and those with whom she had been associated in intercollegiate relationships, which her generous spirit had done much to foster.

We hold in high esteem the fine sincerity which was the basis of her character, the simplicity and directness of her speech and action, her unswerving liberalism which permitted each instructor the widest latitude of thought and expression, her pride in the achievements of others. We are grateful for her sympathy, her humor, her strong affections, for her Christian faith, for her confidence in the in- nate good in each individual, her trust in the spiritual life manifest with or with- out creed, her belief in the Eternal Spirit that will bring order out of the chaos of the world.

Wellesley was the centre of her being; her contribution to its life is of imperish- able worth. Few executives have shown such untiring fidelity to the routine matters which are the foundation of good government, few have possessed such explicit knowledge of detail. She brought to bear upon the problems of admin- istration an unusual power of concentration, a balanced judgment; she welcomed eagerly advice and suggestion from others. In her long life of devotion she has built into the very walls of the college her strength, her unflinching courage, her practical sagacity, her steadfast sense of justice, her intellectual honesty, her high ambition that Wellesley, so long as it endures, shall serve the need of youth in upholding high intellectual and moral standards in all its training. While we mourn for our beloved leader who has gone, we think of her, not with a sense of loss, but with a sense of lasting gain in having been privileged to work with her toward great ends. REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT*

To the Board of Trustees:

The following report is upon the sixty-first year of the College, closing on June 30, 1936. On this date Miss Ellen Fitz Pendle- ton retired from the presidency. During the fifty years which had passed since her graduation from Wellesley in 1886, she had been an officer of the College for forty-nine years and its president for twenty-five years. The election of Miss Mildred Helen McAfee as the seventh president of the College was announced by the Board of Trustees on May 15, 1936. At the time of her election Miss McAfee was Dean of College Women at . The death of Miss Bertha Bailey on November 16, 1935, meant the loss of an alumna trustee who had served on the Board for five years. The following minute was adopted by the Trustees in her memory:

The death of Bertha Bailey, only a few months before the end of her term as an alumna trustee of Wellesley College, has taken from active daily service one of those strong daughters of Wellesley who prove the worth of the College to society. Her strength was in that quietness and confidence with which she continuously upheld the standards of intellectual life and the conception of personal character she brought to Wellesley as a young woman in the '80's.

As an undergraduate she was notable, with a glowing personality, vigor- ously adventuring in new fields of action, yet steady in leadership, and fore- sighted. As an alumna these qualities were recognized by her election as vice-president of the Alumnae Association in 1910 and her election to the Board of Trustees six years ago. From the year of her graduation in 1888 to her death she set herself to the

task of multiplying in the lives of the girls who were her pupils and her charges the influences that had developed her in Wellesley and there crystallized her aspirations. She taught successively in important private schools in several sections of the country until in 1912 she became principal of Abbot Academy at Andover, Massachusetts. From there she has pro-

•Most of the material from which this report has been compiled was collected before Miss Pendleton was taken ill in July, 1936. The report was actually written after her death. y

Wellesley College

gressively deepened her influence in Wellesley College, sending to Wellesley the girls she brought up to feel the value of discipline, the obligation to form reasoned opinions and the necessity of forming habits of responsible conduct. In the counsels of the alumnae trustees she emphasized the policies and choices which make for real achievement, irrespective of its drama or popu- larity. It is as such a quiet and positive factor in life wherever she shared it that Bertha Bailey will be gravely missed.

At the next annual meeting of the Board Mrs. Margaret Elliott Tracy was elected alumna trustee. Mrs. Tracy is a member of the Class of 1914 and at the present time a professor in the De- partment of Economics at the . At the same time Mrs. William Hewson Baltzell, Mr, F. Murray Forbes, and Dr. Boynton Merrill were re-elected to the Board for terms of six years. The end of the year was marked by the retirement of three members of the faculty: Miss Alice H. Bushee as Professor of Spanish, Emeritus, after twenty-five years of service at Wellesley College; Miss Caroline R. Fletcher as Professor of Latin, Emeri- tus, after forty-one years; and Miss Grace E. Davis as Associate Professor of Physics, Emeritus, after thirty-seven years. Two heads of houses, Mrs. Charlotte H. Chadderdon of Claflin Hall and Miss Helen W. Lyman of Cazenove Hall also closed their terms of service to the College. Miss Katherine U. Williams, Head of Severance Hall, resigned to accept a position at Wells College. Mrs. Inez N. Cutter, Head of Elms, and Miss Mary E. Cutting, Dietitian, resigned on account of ill health. A list of faculty publications will be found in the appendix to this report. Since it marks the beginning of a series of docu- ments dealing with the history of the College, particular mention should be made of the "Brief History of the Wellesley College Library," written by Miss Ethel D. Roberts, Librarian. Any notes on the activities of members of the faculty would include mention of the award of a Guggenheim Fellowship for 1936-37 to Mr. Leland H. Jenks, Professor of Social Institutions; the return of Mr. for a semester's teaching in the music department during the absence of Mr. Hinners; and the appointment of Monsieur Rene E. de Messieres as Professor of French. (M. de Messieres came to the College in 1934 as a

8 President's Report visiting professor.) During the course of the year, Miss Lucy Wilson, Professor of Physics, undertook the deanship of the Class of 1937; and in the spring of 1936 Miss Dorothy M. Roba- than, Assistant Professor of Latin, was appointed Dean of the Class of 1939. An appointment of especial interest is that of Dr. of Madrid as Visiting Professor of Spanish, for the year 1936-37, on the Memorial Founda- tion. Dr. Salinas is catedrdtico in the University of Sevilla, professor of modern and contemporary literature both at the University of Madrid and in the Centre de Estudios Historicos, and Director of the Universidad Internacional de Verano, Santander. In September, 1935, the President of the College received a notification from the Commissioner of Education calling atten- tion to the provisions of Chapter 370, Acts of 1935, passed by the General Court of Massachusetts, "an act requiring that an oath or affirmation be taken and subscribed to by certain professors, instructors and teachers in the colleges, universities and schools of the Commonwealth." The wording of the oath required of members of the Wellesley faculty was as follows: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the Constitution of the and the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the position of ... in Wellesley College according to the best of my ability." Before December first, slips with the oath printed upon them were signed by the members of the teaching staff and filed in the office of the Commissioner of Education. The wide- spread feeling of the college community against the requirement that the oath be taken was expressed in a written protest signed by ope hundred and forty-nine members of the faculty and sent with the oath slips to the Commissioner. A motion to send a second protest was passed unanimously on February 27 at a meeting of the Academic Council. At the hearings which were subsequently held at the State House, the President and repre- sentatives of the faculty, together with officers of neighboring institutions, appeared and spoke against the bill requiring the oath. A careful revision of the provisions of the legislation concerning department organization and appointments in general was 9 Wellesley College undertaken by the Committee on Reappointments, Promotions and Dismissals. The revised plan allows an assistant professor to be elected chairman of a department whereas, according to the former plan, only full and associate professors were eligible for election. Definite dates were set on which members of the teaching staff of different academic ranks should be notified if they are not to be reappointed at the expiration of a term. Also, in the section on department organization, an additional paragraph was inserted which reads as follows: "In any depart- ment in which the committee responsible for recommending re- appointments, promotions, and dismissals consists of only one person, it will be the policy of the Council Committee on Re- appointments, Promotions and Dismissals to select, from the group to which the department belongs, one or more persons to act with the small committee of the department in making such recommendations. The President or the Dean of the College will act with the committee." The approval of the Academic Council was given to these various changes. During the year a careful study of the provisions in regard to sabbatical leaves and grants was made by the Board of Trustees, and copies of a revised statement were sent to voting members of the Academic Council. (A copy of this statement and of the revised legislation concerning reappointments, promotions and dismissals may be found in the appendix.) At the suggestion of the Committee on Educational Policy of the Board of Trustees the faculty Committee on Curriculum and Instruction undertook an investigation of the matter of pre- requisites for advanced courses. In the course of this investiga- tion questionnaires were sent to all seniors. The general conclu- sion of the faculty committee was that there was at this time no need for any general change of the policy in effect concerning prerequisites. It might, however, be pointed out that this policy does not, as at present interpreted, necessarily result in a closed system of elementary, intermediate and advanced courses which the student must elect in the order named, since many departments either offer special so-called grade II courses for upper-class students or open all regular grade II courses to such students without prerequisites.

10 President's Report

One experiment tried this year by the faculty was that of excusing seniors from the final tests (that is, final examinations or final papers) of the second semester in courses included in their majors. The experiment was, at least in part, the outcome of a protest on the part of the undergraduates that the final examination schedule for seniors, which includes the senior general examination, resulted in an undue crowding of work at one particular time of the year. In the opinion of the class deans, of many members of the faculty, and of the President of the College, the experiment was eminently successful in lessening the tension under which the seniors lived and worked during the last weeks of the term. As one of the outstanding reports made to the faculty in the course of the year, special mention should be made of the report presented by the Committee on Standardization of Marks, the result of a very thorough and careful study over a period of five years. Although the Committee made no recommendation for any change in procedure, the very fact that it undertakes a constant statistical review of the grades given by different de- partments and different instructors and presents the results of this review to the Academic Council every few years, unques- tionably prevents a thoughtless departure from the generally accepted standard of grading by any one department or any one individual. Mention should also be made of a report presented at the end of the year upon work done to improve the reading ability of a group of academically weak freshmen. This report brought to the attention of the faculty an experiment of decided interest.

The student enrollment for the year was 1,494, and the fresh- man class of 375 was a comparatively small one. Members of the Board of Admission were interested to note that during the second half of the year, that is between January and June, the registration of candidates for admission to the College in the two following years showed a distinct increase over the numbers registered at a corresponding time in the years just passed. In other words, a distinct upturn in the numbers of candidates for future admission was noted for the first time in several years. At its January meeting the Board of Trustees voted to offer ten

11 Wellesley College

National Prize Scholarships, each carrying a stipend of five hundred dollars. This plan was adopted in an effort to bring to Wellesley a group of first-rate candidates from schools and parts of the country where Wellesley seemed less well known than it is elsewhere. Candidates for 1936-37 will be chosen from private schools in a selected number of cities. A list of college lectures is to be found in the appendix. The Honors Day speaker was President Angell of . Honors Day seems well established as an annual function of out- standing importance on the college schedule. The commence- ment address was given by Professor Charles Seymour, Provost of Yale University. On May second the College, for the first time in its history, participated in a "Guest Day" during which the work of the various departments was presented to invited guests. These visitors were at liberty to attend regular classes, numerous special exhibits, Greek and modern language plays, athletic and musical events, etc., etc. The attendance was estimated to be about thirty-five hundred persons. Preparation for the day involved a large outlay of time and energy on the part of the faculty and many of the students, especially on the part of mem- bers of the committee on arrangements. But the work was undertaken with enthusiasm as an attempt to exhibit "Miss Pendleton's Wellesley" in the spring of her last year as Presi- dent. Part of the publicity for Guest Day was done by the firm of Tamblyn & Brown of , and this piece of work was itself a part of a more extensive publicity program authorized by the Board of Trustees. The end of the year found only a partially completed plan for the issuing of printed matter de- scriptive of the College. An outstanding event of the year was the opening in Septem- ber of the new science building which provides thoroughly up-to- date laboratories and separate libraries for the departments of chemistry, physics, and psychology. A student petition asked that the building be called "Pendleton Hall," and the suggestion was promptly adopted by the Board of Trustees. The satisfac- tion of all who have used the building, members of the faculty

12 President's Report and students alike, has been very great, and the excellence of the technical equipment has been highly praised by many visiting scientists from other institutions. An important byproduct of the erection of this building has been the beautification of the campus made possible by the removal of the old chemistry and psychology laboratories and the ice-house. Another very welcome addition to the college plant is the beautiful open air theatre on the south side of Alumnae Hall, the gift of Alma Seipp Hay in memory of her husband, William Sherman Hay. Mrs. Hay is a member of the Class of 1899, a former alumna trustee, and at present Second Vice-President of the Alumnae Association. Although the theatre was not quite finished, it was first used on Guest Day and made a perfect setting for the performance of the Greek play, "Prometheus Bound."

Other gifts have made possible the building up and planting of the lake front below Tower Court and the new exedra with its

lovely view of the lake itself. A stained glass window for the chapel is the gift of Mr. Smith in memory of his sister, Mary Frazer Smith, a member of the Class of 1896 and the College Recorder for many years. A gift of a number of beauti- ful mediaeval manuscripts was received from Miss in commemoration of her eightieth birthday in June and of the President's fifty years of service to the College. And a portrait of the President, painted by Martha Crocker, was given by an alumna. The art museum was presented with a portrait on ivory of Professor Alice Van Vechten Brown by Mrs. Charles A. Karagheusian (Artemis Tavshanjian), who is artist and donor. The appendix contains a list of gifts and bequests for the year, and others are mentioned in the Librarian's report. The total given' to the Alumnae Fund, ^59,923,—a part of which was specially designated for the Ellen Fitz Pendleton Fund for Sabbatical Grants,—marks 1935-36 as a "peak year, with more gifts and more givers than ever before," A 375,000 gift from an unnamed alumna in honor of Miss Pendleton was announced at Commencement by the president of the Board of Trustees. The bequests and gifts of scholarship funds are gratefully acknowledged. Such gifts help to meet an ever-present need

13 Wellesley College

and are, of course, of especial importance during these years of financial depression. It should perhaps be noted that this year the College abandoned the plan of accepting Federal aid for students working on projects supervised by the College, a plan tried during the previous year. It was found that the expense which the plan involved for the College in supervision and book- keeping was not justified in view of the amount which students could earn. As a substitute measure, several working or cooper- ative scholarships were given directly by the College to a number of students. The first award of the Anne Louise Barrett Schol- arship was made this year and, in accordance with the preference expressed by the donor, to a candidate for an advanced degree in music. For the first time also a teaching fellowship in English Composition was offered from the income of the Susanna Whit- ney Hawkes Fund. For the summer of 1936, as for earlier ones, four conferences, each conducted by a separate organization, were scheduled to take place on the Wellesley College campus. These are the Wellesley Alumnae College, the Conference for Church Work, the Summer Institute for Social Progress, and the Institute of International Relations.

It seems especially important in this report, which this year is of necessity the work of various individuals, to call attention to the accompanying reports. These supplementary reports cover systematically and in detail various aspects of the more signifi- cant phases of the life and activity of the College. Respectfully submitted, Mary L. Coolidge, Dean of the College. Grace E. Arthur, Secretary to the President.

14 REPORT OF THE DEAN OF THE COLLEGE

To the President of Wellesky College: The academic year 1935-36 was not marked by any important changes in the curriculum, in methods of teaching, or in admin- istrative routine. It was, however, a year during which various committees undertook to review various academic and other matters, and in which a number of experiments were initi- ated. One of the committee reviews was that of the Committee on the Standardization of Marks, a standing committee which re- ports to the Academic Council from time to time. The report of this year was the result of a thorough and careful study of the grades given by different departments over a period of five years. The committee did not find it necessary to make any recommen- dation for any change in the grading system used at present. At the suggestion of the Committee on Educational Policy of the Board of Trustees, this committee met with the members of the Curriculum Committee and discussed the question of prerequisites for advanced courses. A result of this discussion was the drawing up by the Curriculum Committee of a report on the subject of prerequisites based on the answers given by seniors to a series of questions about the prerequisites for courses they had taken or had wished to take. While some material of some interest was obtained by means of the questionnaires sent out, and was incorporated in the report, the general conclusion was that "the student comment . . . seems, in the opinion of the Committee, an expression of student acceptance of the present prerequisite requirements as on the whole reasonable and desir- able," and that in "the opinion of the Committee . . . there is no occasion for action on the matter of prerequisites at this time." A study of the problem of protecting the time of students from too heavy demands on the part of such extra-curricular

IS Wellesley College activities as acting was undertaken by various committees working together. There was found to be little or no difference in the points of view of members of the faculty and of the responsible student leaders of student organizations, and it was therefore possible to make certain changes in faculty legislation and in the "pointing system" used by the students which will, it is hoped, give more protection to the academically weak and to the inexperienced student. One experiment tried this year was that of excusing seniors taking the general examination from the final examinations or final papers in the courses included in their majors. The experi- ment was undertaken after a careful review by the faculty Com- mittee on Curriculum and Instruction of a report on the general examination made by the Student Curriculum Committee, and in the hope that the pressure under which seniors work in May and June, a pressure felt by many of them to be excessive, might be reduced. If the plan works satisfactorily this year, it will doubtless be put into effect in succeeding years also. Another rather informal experiment undertaken in response to student suggestion was that of offering a course of five lectures on problems of household management to interested juniors and seniors. The lecturers were members of the departments of art, chemistry, economics, and psychology. Students who attended the lectures expressed enthusiasm about them, but the numbers attending—estimated at fifty or sixty at each lecture—were far smaller than the student committee, which originally suggested the giving of the course, had anticipated. The "Guest Day" of May second, arranged for and run by a special group of committees, was an unusual and gala occasion, and thus from one point of view not a part of the regular aca- demic routine of the College. It did, however, give many mem- bers of the college community as well as visitors from outside an unusual opportunity to attend classes, special departmental ex- hibits, foreign language plays, athletic and musical events, etc.; and it certainly served as an impressive demonstration of the number and variety of the activities more or less directly con- nected with the regular academic work of the College carried on by students and members of the faculty.

16 Report of the Dean of the College

During the year 1935-36, 324 courses were actually given by the various departments, aggregating 66l}4 hours per week, not including hours duplicated because of additional sections of the same course. These 324 courses include only one course given by the Department of Hygiene, namely, the lecture course pre- scribed for freshmen. A list of these courses by departments with the figures showing enrollment by courses is given in the Statistics of Course Enrollment. The following table shows the amount of instruction given by the various departments in the past four years. The unit of in- struction used is the instruction of one student, one hour a week for one academic year.

Of the seven seniors who had either failed the general examina- tion or did not take it in June, 1935, two passed a second exami- nation in September and were awarded their degrees as of the Class of 1935 at the October meeting of the trustees; two more received their degrees in June, 1936, having passed general ex- aminations in September and June respectively. In June, 1936, 308 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, 12,170. The academic requirement for this degree is the satis- factory completion of sixty year-hours of class work, and no student is graduated without passing a general examination on a

Of the 308 students who received the B.A. degree in June, 28 won the rank of Durant Honor Scholars, and 48 the rank of Wellesley College Honor Scholars. There were four juniors who spent the year in France and one in . Those working in France were doing so under the auspices of the University of Delaware. This University sent no group of juniors to Germany during the year, and the junior registered as continuing her work in Germany did so under the

Forty-nine freshmen were exempted from the second semes- ter's work in English composition because of strong records in the first semester. On the basis of an individual speech test given to each member of the freshman class during the opening week of college, 70 students were exempted from the requirement of one hour of speech. The number of students admitted to the courses for which special permissions are required is as follows:

Economics 7 Philosophy and Psychology 18 Political Science 11

An experiment in directed work to improve reading ability- was conducted this year under the direction of Miss Enid Straw of the Department of English Composition with the cooperation of the Department of Education and the Office of the Dean of Freshmen. Forty students were enrolled who had very low scores both in the Scholastic Aptitude Verbal Test and in a special reading test of Professor Herbert Moore of . One of the interesting parts of this experi- ment was the use of selected senior students in the Department of Education as tutors for groups of two or three students. The tutors met with Miss Straw and Professor Norton of the Department of Education for an hour each week for a conference and discussion of problems. Besides the Scholastic Aptitude Test taken by all members of the freshman class and the reading and vocabulary test of Pro- fessor Moore, all members of the freshman class were given the Inglis Vocabulary Test under the direction of the Department of English Composition, and the Bernreuter Personality Inventory and the AUport and Vernon Study of Values Test given under the direction of the Personnel Department. The most valuable guidance of freshmen comes, of course, from their instructors. Other methods of helping the individual in her adjustment to college should be noted. The Dean of Freshmen had conferences this year as usual with all freshmen to discuss their plans for college work. As in several years past also, each freshman had an individual conference with Dr. Mary F. DeKruif of the Department of Health following the physical 26 Report of Dean of Freshmen examination which was given in the fall. A number of freshmen with special difficulties of adjustment received also very valuable counsel and help from Dr. Margaret R. Anthonisen. Another plan was carried out this year to bring the academic point of view to the members of the freshman class, who live, in many cases, in houses in which there are no resident members of the faculty, in the appointment of a faculty visitor for each freshman house. The faculty visitors met the freshmen in their houses formally at the beginning of the college year to talk to them on the general problem of adjustment to college work, and they met their groups frequently through the year at tea and dinner. Excellent cooperation in this plan, as well as in all matters affecting the welfare of the freshman class, has been given by the heads of freshman houses. Respectfully submitted, Frances L. Knapp, Dean of Freshmen.

27 REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON GRADUATE INSTRUCTION

To the President of Wellesley College: The Committee on Graduate Instruction has the honor to present the following report for the academic year ending June 15, 1936. During the academic year 1935-36, the enrollment of graduate students was as follows:

Students working for the Master of Arts degree 39 Students working for the Master of Science degree in Hygiene and Physical Education 2 Students working for the Master of Science degree and the Cer- tificate of the Department of Hygiene and Physical Educa- tion 10 Students working for the Certificate of the Department of Hygiene and Physical Education only 5 Non-candidates for degrees 8

Total 64

These figures include 12 special graduate students. Of these 64 students, 24 received degrees and certificates in June, 1936, as follows:

Master of Arts degree 17 Master of Science degree 1 Master of Science degree and Certificate of the Department of Hygiene and Physical Education 4 Certificate of the Department of Hygiene and Physical Education only 2

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

June Master of Arts degree 1 Master of Science degree 1

The major subjects of the 64 students in residence during the year were as follows:

28 Report on Graduate Instruction

Art 8 Astronomy 1 Botany 3 Chemistry 4 Economics and Sociology 2 Education 2 English Literature 11 German 1 Hygiene and Physical Education 17 Latin 3 Musical Theory 2 Physics 1 Political Science 1 Psychology 1 Spanish 2 Zoology and Physiology 5

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

Botany 1 Chemistry 1 English Literature 5 German 1 Hygiene and Physical Education 7 Latin 3 Musical Theory 2 Political Science 1 Zoology and Physiology 3

Total 24

The bachelor's degrees of the 64 students in residence during the year were received as follows:

From Wellesley College 32 From other women's colleges 12 Frpm co-educational institutions 18 From foreign universities 2 Of the 64 students in residence

34 were carrying a full program of 9 to 12 hours 30 were carrying a part-time program 19 held graduate tuition scholarships 1 held a scholarship from special case funds 2 held foreign-student scholarships 1 held the Amy Morris Homans Scholarship 30 held staff appointments carrying tuition 11 paid tuition 29 Wellesley College

The Committee performed its usual duties in connection with the examination of credentials and admission of students, the approving of programs, attending oral examinations, and reading theses. The number of awards, fellowships and scholarships for graduate study, over which the Committee has jurisdiction, was increased this year by the addition of the Anne Louise Barrett Fund, yielding an income of about 31,000, preference in the award to be given to a candidate in the field of music. Among the subjects discussed during the year were the follow- ing: At the request of the President, the Committee considered the basis of award of trustee scholarships. It was agreed that these scholarships should be awarded for excellence on the basis of undergraduate scholarship and the merits of the candidates' plans for graduate study. It was voted that students should be informed that financial need does not enter into the question. Serious discussion was devoted to the apparent inequalities of students' programs leading to the master's degree when some included four courses, and others three courses and a thesis. It was voted to send to departments the following notice:

"To the Directors of Graduate Work: The Committee on Graduate Instruction has two suggestions to make to those planning programs of graduate students: (1) The Committee would approve the (as an experiment for this year) a plan, in exceptional cases where prepara- four tion or ability of a student is in doubt, by which the student is assigned a courses with the privilege of substituting a thesis for one of them at later date, the change to be made not later than November first and reported to the Com- mittee on Graduate Instruction for approval. (2) The Committee strongly recommends that the final master's examination of students not presenting a thesis be more searching and comprehensive than that of those presenting a in thesis, and that the difference be made clear to students advance."

To eliminate inaccuracies and inconsistencies in the legislation incident to recent changes in the administration of graduate work, certain amendments of Article VIII were proposed and voted by the Academic Council. 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 1935-36. The housing situation has remained the same as in 1934—35 except that Fiske and Clinton were not used this year. Fresh- man groups were continued in three Quadrangle houses and in Norumbega, var>'ing in number from 21 to 34 in each house. In general this plan seems satisfactory with groups of this size, especially when a whole corridor can be assigned to new students. The direction of Crofton, the graduate house, was undertaken for this year by Miss Elizabeth Donnan, Professor of Economics. This house was opened in 1933 with Mrs. Mary G. Ahlers as resident. The demand for its rooms has steadily increased and indicates the need of larger quarters and the importance of a center for all graduate students in the College. No other changes were made in the housing staff beyond transfers from one house to another. Miss Amy Kelly moved from Fiske to Munger, Mrs. Nancy Foster from Washington to Beebe, and Mrs. Josephine Brown from Clinton to Washington. The close of the year brought the retirement of Miss Lyman as Head of Cazenove and Mrs. Chadderdon as Head of Claflin. Miss Lyman began her work at Wellesley as Assistant Head of Cazenove in 1904. She was successively Head of Simpson, Stone, Elms and Cazenove, serving in the last house for fourteen years. Mrs. Chadderdon was Head of Webb from 1911 to 1916, in which year she opened Claflin, continuing to preside over that house for twenty years. The College is indebted to both of these women for very efficient care of their houses and for all they have built into the life in those houses in their development of high standards of gracious living. A further loss was sustained in the resignations of three other members of the staff', two of which were due to ill health and the third to an opportunity for professional advancement.

31 Wellesley College

Mrs. Inez Cutter resigned on the completion of her tenth year in college. First she was assistant to the Head of Tower Court, then Head of Little for three years, and of Elms for the last three years of her service. It is a source of much regret that her health did not permit the completion of her appointment. The regret is equally sincere as regards the College Dietitian, Miss Mary E. Cutting, Miss Cutting came to Wellesley in Septem- ber, 1931, as dietitian at Tower Court. The following year she took over the direction of two additional kitchens, and this year had charge of the arrangements for food for all the college houses except Claflin and Norumbega. Miss Cutting has shown marked ability in organizing her large department, in managing her large staff, and in providing an excellent diet for all who live in the College. In addition, she has maintained a high standard for group luncheons and dinners and made it possible for the College to extend a wide hospitality. Miss Katherine Williams has been Head of Severance since 1930 and resigned to become assistant to the Dean of Wells College. Miss Williams brought a wide culture and extended experience to her work, and directed her house with under- standing and with distinction. Her appointment at Wells is a recognition of her achievement in Severance. It is a pleasure to report that our house libraries have bene- fited by the addition of 334 books during the year. The refer- ence books purchased from the Elizabeth Nash Fund have now been supplied to seven houses. A copy of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary and four very useful reference books were presented to Little House during the year by the father of a freshman living there. The Chicago Wellesley Mothers' Club has offered to equip a library for Claflin during the coming year. Thus our small beginning now amounts to 2600 volumes and we look forward hopefully to a more adequate equipment both for the use and the enjoyment of our students. A plan for associating a Faculty Visitor with a definite House for a period of years was inaugurated in 1931, with ten such Visitors in upper class houses in addition to Dean Knapp who undertook to serve in this capacity for all freshman houses. This year Miss Knapp appointed a special Visitor for every resi- 32 Report of the Dean of Residence

dential group of freshmen whether on or off the campus, and this has proved a very helpful arrangement. The Visitor is expected to dine in her house at least once a month and to come oftener

when possible for luncheon, house teas, house dances, or more frequent dinners. The Visitors have thus been able to become acquainted with a group of students and to be of great service upon occasion to those who needed counsel or advice in either personal or academic matters. Nineteen members of the staff have served as Faculty Visitors this year. Faculty guests are always welcomed at the college tables, and Wednesday dinner is set apart as a special season for such enter- taining. Members of the staff are most generous in giving their time and their interest in response to invitations from students or colleagues in residence. In addition to this hospitality the Col- lege has sponsored thirty-two dinner parties for various groups, including the guests for Junior and Senior Promenades, and large teas for the American Association of University Women and for the Alumnae on Tree Day, and has served luncheon or dinner to the following conferences: the New England Association of Modern Language Teachers, the Wellesley Teachers Associa- tion, the Harvard and Wellesley Choirs, the New England Association of College Dramatic Societies, the New England Chemists Association, the Physiological Conference from East- ern Colleges, and the Alumnae Council. The Eastern Associa- tion of Head Mistresses was also entertained here for two days. Respectfully submitted, Mary C. Ew^ing, Dea7i of Residence. REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN

To the President of Wellesley College:

The year which has just closed has found the Library func- tioning smoothly with very little illness or absence for other reasons on the part of the staff. During the Christmas holidays the books belonging to the study of Physics and Psychology and the periodicals belonging to Chemistry which had been stored in the General Library build- ing were removed to the rooms provided for them in the recently completed Pendleton Hall. The books from the library in the old Chemistry Building had been moved in the fall. Catalogues for these libraries are now being made to duplicate the cards in the main catalogue. At the end of the year the catalogue for the Psychology Library is nearly completed. It was possible early in the year to bring to the Library several hundred volumes which had been received earlier and stored out- side the building until room could be made for them in one of the work rooms. These were from the libraries of Professor Angle Clara Chapin, formerly Professor of Greek at Wellesley College, 2- (^ ^j^j ]yfj.g_ Y.%td\e M. Hurll of the Class of 1:§92. Mrs. Hurll's lifelong interest, religious art, had led to the collection of many books on the subject which were a very valuable addition to the Library, though in many cases they duplicated volumes already in our possession. The books from Miss Chapin's library were of a more general character, but added about one hundred vol- umes to our shelves. Forty-two volumes from the library of the Rev. James H. Ropes, the gift of Mrs. Ropes, were accessioned this year. A very important Italian publication, the Domus Caietana, three folio volumes with many illustrations, is a history of the Caietana family by one of its members. As the record during the middle ages and the renaissance of one of the oldest Italian families, one of whose prominent members was Pope Boniface VIII, it is very valuable as a source for history of 34 Report of the Librarian

H. the period. Two volumes are the gift of Miss Margaret Jackson, former Professor of Italian in the College. At the other end of the scale chronologically and biblio- graphically speaking, is the gift of a large scrap book containing which will one clippings concerning Christian Science activities day be of value to the student of religious history in the United States. This was the gift of the compiler, Mrs. Stella Haddon Alexander. Similar volumes compiled by her are in the Library of Congress and other large libraries. Five books on cookery, the first installment of a large collec- this which has been to the tion of books on subject, promised . . . ; i h\<^o(iA^ Library by Mrs. Caroline Maddox Beard, were received at com- / mencement time. The five represent cook books of the seven- teenth to the twentieth centuries. Mr. Frederic H. Curtiss practically completed by his gift our set of the first series of the Colophon^ as we now lack only one number. fourteenth The gifts from Miss Caroline Hazard of three century manuscripts and a printed Book of Hours are of great value. The largest manuscript, a folio, a Book of the Praises of Mary (De Laudibus Mariae), is written on vellum in the Gothic hand and beautifully illuminated. It is of the French school of the fourteenth century. At one point several pages of a later Italian manuscript have been inserted to take the place of the originals which had evidently been lost before the binding. A Psalter and a Missal, also on vellum, with delicate illumina- tions and bars of music, were presented at the same time. The at Paris Book of Hours is a beautiful example of those printed early in the sixteenth century, this by Guillaume Eustace in 1516. It is printed on vellum and the engraved miniatures and borders are exquisitely colored by hand. Of great interest and of a value that will increase with the passage of time is the gift of thirty-two books by contemporary Spanish authors, each one with a presentation inscription in the hand of the author. The gift was made in connection with the celebration of the tercentenary of the death of Lope de Vega, and came to the Department of Spanish through the interest of Sr. D. Jose Ruiz de Arana, Vizconde de Mamblas, who is Chief of

35 Wellesley College the Section of Cultural Relations in the Department of State of Spain. Gifts of books from Dr. Annina C. Rondinella, Dr. Ernest E. Tyzzer, Mr. Alfred Emerson, the estate of Mrs. Lucinda Prince, from other friends of the Library and of the College, and from members of the faculty are much appreciated. Of another character are the beautiful and artistic photo- graphs of the college buildings taken and presented to us by Mr. Clifton Church during the college year. They were on display on Guest Day and during commencement time and afforded much pleasure to all who saw them. Taken at different seasons and different hours of the day they make a unique contribution to the history of the College. Mr. Hiller C. Wellman of Springfield presented to the College the original plaster models of the bronze bust of and the bas-relief of Professor . These have been temporarily placed in the Library. Among the important purchases of the year were a set of the British and State 131 the Calen- Foreign Papers , 1812-1930, vols.; dar of Venetian State Papers of the Tudor and Stuart Periods, 23 vols.; Encyclopedia Americana, 1906 revision, 30 vols.; a second copy of the Encyclopedia Britannica, 14th edition, 24 vols.; and the Obras Sueltas of Lope de Vega, 1776, 21 vols. A notable purchase was a copy of Atalanta Fugiens, secured at the request of members of the chemistry and music departments, from a bookseller at a very reasonable price, considering its rarity. The Library of Congress reports that the only copy in this country noted in the Union Catalogue is in their own Rare

Book Room. The fuller title, Atalanta Fugiens hoc est Emhle- mata Nova de secretis naturae chymica, indicates something of its " nature. The Emblems "are copper plates by Johann Theodore de Bry and each plate is accompanied by a title and an epigram in Latin. On the opposite page two lines of the Latin epigram are set to music, and below the music the entire epigram is trans- lated into German. It is a curious work, interesting and valu- able for the history of chemistry and music, and also as a fine example of an "emblem book." Our copy is dated earlier than any noted in the bibliographies, being printed at Oppenheim in 36 Report of the Librarian

1617, all others mentioned having the date 1618. It is bound in green morocco with gold fillets and is in perfect condition. The Visitors Book in the Treasure Room shows that 927 guests from England, France, Germany, Belgium, Australia, China, Japan and Morocco, as well as from the United States, have visited the room, including many groups from schools and clubs. A very interesting group was composed of children from the Page Memorial School who came with their teacher and Pro- fessor Norton to see examples of records made before the inven- tion of printing, clay tablets, a manuscript on papyrus, and some illuminated manuscripts. Miss Weed, the Curator of the Treasure Room, was later privileged to inspect the Book of the Treasure Room, a graphically illuminated record which the children made after their visit.

The Autograph Collection has been enriched by gifts from Mrs. Isabel Fiske Conant, Miss Florence Ellery, Mrs. Elizabeth Seelman Kingsley and Dr. Annina C. Rondinella. The letter from Daniel Chester French to Mrs, Kingsley refers to the Alice Freeman Palmer Memorial. At the time of his reading in Wellesley, Mr. Robert P. T. Coffin gave us a manuscript copy of his poem, "This Is My Country"; from Mr. William Rose Benet we received a manuscript copy of "Mad Blake." An exhibition in connection with the commemoration of the Four Hundred Years of the Printed English Bible laid emphasis on the influence of the Bible on English literature, illustrated from the English Poetry Collection. During most of the year a selection from the Browning letters was on exhibition in a case in the Exhibition Hall, the interest in these letters being continu- ous. For the Guest Day celebration exhibitions were arranged in connection with the work of classes studying Milton and Brown- ing, and from the Plimpton Collection editions and manuscripts of Dante and Petrarch. Also there were displayed on tables in the Reading Room publications of members of the faculty and a selection of Master's theses chosen to represent work in different departments. So much interest was shown in these exhibits that during commencement week the faculty publications were again displayed and also publications by members of the classes 37 Wellesley College

having reunions. The theses presented by candidates for the Master's degree in 1936 were also placed on one of the tables at this time. On June tenth the manuscripts presented by Miss Caroline Hazard which have been described earlier in this report were put on exhibition, together with five others loaned by her some years ago and now given to the College, and remained in the exhibition cases during the commencement season. We have now finished binding the League of Nations Publica- tions up to date, and during the past year have given attention to the repair of the bindings of certain British periodicals, some of them among the first books given to the College, The Edin- burgh Review^ The Quarterly Review^ The Gentleman's Magazine^ etc. Statistics of binding will be found with other statistics at the end of this report. Each year in addition to periodicals and continuations, a very large number of pamphlets is received by the Library, the most important of which are accessioned and catalogued, and later bound. Others are sent to be catalogued without binding as being of only temporary value or interest; over six hundred of these during the past year. Others find an immediate and proper place in the waste basket. Formerly no pamphlets were accessioned until they were bound, and, as in the earlier years of the Library appropriations for binding were much restricted, a careful count of all pamphlet volumes on the shelves would probably reveal a good many which should be added to the accessions book to make our ac- count of the number of volumes as complete as such a count can be. Naturally the number of volumes in a library changes from day to day. The number given to inquiries from the vari- ous yearbooks which publish such statistics is that given in the latest Report of the Librarian to the President. In addition to the current cataloguing and the preparation of a duplicate catalogue for the Psychology Library, the Cataloguing Department has catalogued the books from Miss Gamble's library which the Psychology Department chose for their library shelves. The lists of books received at the Library which have been

38 Report of the Librarian sent out each month for the past two years to department and administration offices have been found interesting and useful by the faculty, and many expressions of appreciation have come to the Library. Just before the close of the college year, A Brief History of the Wellesley College Library, written by the Librarian, was received from the printer. It embodies in one narrative material of interest in the development of the Library which is otherwise to be found only by considerable research. The Library Building Committee in connection with the Library Committee held one meeting in the fall with the Super- intendent of Buildings when the general arrangement of rooms in the plan for an addition to the Library were discussed. Mr. Hooper was asked to draw a plan embodying as far as possible the suggestions of the Committee to serve as a basis for working out a final plan. The Librarian attended the national meeting of the American Library Association at Richmond, Virginia, early in May, and Miss Weed and four members of the staff attended the Confer- ence of New England College Librarians at South Hadley and Amherst later in the month. On May 2 1 the Librarian talked by request to the Boston Group of Cataloguers and Classifiers on the Plimpton Collection. A few days later the Special Libraries Association of Boston met at Wellesley, holding their meeting at and visiting the different department libraries and the special collections in the General Library. As always appreciation must be expressed for the loyal cooper- ation of the Library Staif and for the support and encouragement afltorded by the Administration. Respectfully submitted, Ethel Dane Roberts, Librarian.

42 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE PERSONNEL BUREAU

To the President of Wellesley College: The Director of the Personnel Bureau has the honor of pre- senting the following report for the year ending October 31, 1936: There has been a notable increase this year in the total number of calls for candidates, 444 as compared with 357 of the preceding year, exclusive of those for summer work. For these calls, 1,001 nominations were made, which resulted in 139 placements, 43 in teaching positions and 96 in non-teaching. This is the highest number of placements in any year in the history of the Personnel Bureau.

Examining these totals, we find 51 calls from colleges (40 in 1935), from secondary schools 93 (73 in 1935), and from ele- mentary private schools 19 (9 in 1935). The public secondary schools gave fewer calls this last year, only 12 as compared with the preceding year's 25, and none came from public elementary schools. In the case of the private schools not only were more calls recorded, but an increasing number came from larger private schools of high standing, and from those far distant, as in the Southwest and West. Turning to the placement of candidates, we find that the total number of teaching placements increased over last year from 26 to 43,^the percentage to calls being 19.8%, an increase of 4.8% over the preceding year. Of these, one placement was made in a public school, twenty in private schools, twice as many as last year. The reason for the small number in public schools may be the definite requirements in Education and in the number of years of teaching experience. For private elementary schools, there were more candidates available than in the preceding two or three years, an outcome in part of the apprenticeships which they had held, but, on the other hand, calls for candidates with

43 Wellesley College this background continued to be more than could be filled. The range of salaries remained approximately the same as in the year 1934—35, but the maximum salary increased from ^2,600 to 32,700. A greater number of schools offered better salaries and an effort has been made by both public and private schools to restore former levels, to eliminate cuts, and in many cases to give a slight increase. In the number of calls in the non-teaching fields there has been that from 184 to an increase of 23 % during the year 1935-36, is, 227. The number of placements has risen slightly, from 93 to 96, during this same period. This figure, while only a little in advance of last year's, is however the highest on record, and these two years show a sharp rise over all preceding records. The largest number of calls fell within the so-called "business" group, of which the secretarial calls, again, led in numbers. These secretarial calls are for the most part of a special nature, rather than the routine call from large offices. There has been a sharp increase in statistical opportunities, from one in 1935 to 9 in the past year, covering some very interesting positions in banks and research laboratories, such as have not occurred in sev- eral years. The department stores show a slight increase in calls, yet a slight decrease in placements. In the field of social service the figures remain small, even smaller than those of last year, a drop of from 9 to 4 following the discontinuance of federal relief offices which were the source of several calls for the preceding year. In educational administration there was a marked increase in 25 in in the number of calls, which almost doubled (13 1934-35 ; 1935-36). More responsible and well-paid administrative and executive positions have come to our attention than for several years. In these, two partial placements and two direct place- ments were made, and several of them are still pending. The maximum salary offered in the business group of positions was 32,080 as opposed to 31,560 last year, and there were several posi- tions this year for secretaries or other office workers offering salaries of from 31,500 to 32,000. The presence of the excellent administrative positions is reflected in the maximum salaries offered of 35,000. This is a marked increase over the maximum of 32,500 and living of last year. 44 Report of Director of Personnel Bureau

A special study of the class of 1936 yields gratifying results. In the first place, the number of registrants with the Personnel Bureau continued high, 258, or 84% of the class. The place- ment of the class has risen over recent years,—indeed is the high- est reported. The total is fifty placements, 22.5% of the active registrants, 13% of the class. A study of the fields of work into which this year's graduates have gone shows that the ratio of workers of the non-teaching to the teaching groups has changed from recent years. At the present time it stands at approximately 1.5 to 1. Taking away apprenticeships and volunteer positions from both groups, the ratio of non-teaching workers to teachers is still only 2 to 1. This ratio may be compared to the 3 to 1 ratio which has existed for the past two years. Certainly there has been more oppor- tunity for the beginning teacher, both in the private and the public schools. The number of apprenticeships in teaching has risen this year and with a marked increase in the number offer- ing some form of remuneration. The group of non-teaching workers shows more in office posi- tions than in any other group. Although the same number (18) were appointed to department store positions, several from the latter group withdrew after a few weeks or a summer's work. The continued decrease in social workers exemplifies the lack of opportunity offered to the college graduate without professional training. There have been a few opportunities for those inter- ested in practical experience in the field of psychology. Of the seven technicians who are working, only one is receiving a salary. A larger number of the class than last year are engaged in further study, 100 or 45%, as compared to 91 or 37% in 1935. The trend away from purely academic study is shown in in- creased proportion this year, 44 being engaged in commercial or business training (technical), 33 distributed among the various professional fields, and only 23 following strictly academic pro- grams. The Bureau has been the medium for two training scholarships coming to our students, one at the New York School of Secretaries, and the other the Katharine Gibbs Memorial Scholarship. The assistance given to students applying for scholarships and assistantships in collecting and presenting their

45 Wellesley College credentials is a considerable item in the work of the Bureau at certain times of the year. A slight modification in method was introduced in adding statements from student chairmen of com- mittees to the credentials of the seniors. This gave a rather dif- ferent point of view in regard to the personal qualities of our candidates and proved an interesting experiment. For summer work there was an increase in the number of calls from 131 in 1935 to 164 in 1936. The placements declined slightly from 45 to 42, The calls for clerical workers increased, and for secretaries more than doubled, and more placements were made. In addition to the students who were placed by the Bureau, many girls secured work independently as camp coun- selors, domestic workers, and tutors. Some volunteered for work in clinics or laboratories or in business offices. The Bureau finds the summer work of definite value to the students in affording training and experience, and permanent positions are frequently secured as a result of the contacts with employers in the summer. There was an increase in the number of students who registered for work during term-time, from 184 to 203. This is the largest number that the Bureau has registered. The number of calls for clerical and domestic work, etc., increased from 312 (1934-35) to 415 (1935-36). Only 2.4% of the calls were not filled. There are about 125 regular jobs open each year, in addition to tem- porary ones, in the libraries and departments, and in various exchanges. The amounts which these students earn vary from $2S to over 3200. Last year the college provided twenty coop- erative scholarships, of twenty dollars each, for two hours' work a week, in some departments which needed extra assistance. Since the experiment was so successful, the plan will be carried on this year, with the possibility of extending these scholarships to a few more students. The Committee on Vocational Information has consisted as in past years of representatives from the four classes and the Director and Associate of the Bureau. There were in all sixteen meetings with an average attendance of fifty. Five members of the faculty served as speakers, and eight of the alumnae returned to the college to tell of their work. In addition four field trips

46 Report of Director of Personnel Bureau

were arranged, as well as numerous conferences with representa- tives of schools, business organizations, and training courses. For the freshmen three after-dinner talks were given by Miss Florence Jackson with a total attendance of about one hundred. In the Come-and-See program arranged by the Boston Coun- cil of Social Agencies, three students participated, and Wellesley sent a representative to the New England Junior Month carried on by the Family Welfare Society of Boston. The Personnel Bureau also headed the Committee for choosing the candidate for the Bryn Mawr Summer School assistantship. The staff of the Personnel Bureau has been augmented by the addition of Miss Enid Straw as Second Associate, following her appointment as Research Associate on the Evaluation Staff of the Eight-Year Study, undertaken by the Progressive Education Association. The Bureau is interested in her findings and looks forward to the reports of her work as it progresses. In the required individual conferences the Bureau has had the assistance of the Dean of the Class of 1937 who saw about sixty students, and of the Dean of the Class of 1938, who saw ninety- five. The remainder of the three upper classes were interviewed by the Director and the Associate. The work with the freshmen was confined almost entirely, with the exception of a few voluntary conferences, to the two meetings during Freshman Week, when the Director described the work of the Personnel Bureau and gave the tests, Study of Values, by AUport and Vernon, and Bernreuter's Personality Inventory. The Study of Values has now been given for five years, and the material which has been amassed is being used for study by the Consultant in the Psychology Department. Her investigation of "lateral dominance" in students was continued during the year, based upon the results of the Bernreuter test. Other tests used were Moore's Clerical Test, taken by thirteen students, and Strong's Vocational Interest Blank for Women. The latter was used for special cases, as these came up in confer- ences or were referred to the Bureau by the psychiatrist. The Bureau administered the Medical Aptitude Test for the Associa- tion of Medical Colleges, and arranged also for the examination for approval for oral work for teaching in New York. In view of 47 Wellesley College the low correlation between the success in practical experience of our graduates, as judged by their employers, in teaching, and the scores obtained in the Teaching Aptitude Test which had been given for several years, that test was not offered this year. The Director attended in December the yearly meeting of the Governing Board of the Cooperative Bureau for Teachers in New York, which is carrying on an investigation of unemploy- ment insurance.

A meeting of the Personnel Board was held on May 4, 1936, with ten members and six guests present. Miss Straw gave an account of the work carried on in remedial reading, and Dr. Anthonisen made a general report of her work as psychiatrist. A paper was read by the Director of the Personnel Bureau on the results of a study made in cooperation with the Department of Education—the correlation of the scores obtained in the Teach- ing Aptitude Test and success in teaching. A report was also made of the investigation of Wellesley graduates in department stores, their attitude toward the work and their judgment of it. Miss Elizabeth M. Osborne of , consultant on dress and personal appearance, spent the week of November 4 at Wellesley, under the general auspices of the Personnel Bureau. Her program included four lectures on various aspects of her general subject, and a series of group and individual conferences. While it is impossible to give exact numbers for her lectures and groups, it is estimated that at least six hundred and fifty stu- dents attended the meetings. It was decided that it would be beneficial to invite Miss Osborne to come again in 1936-37 to follow up the good impression she had made. The pressure of work in the Personnel Bureau has increased, but this pressure is the result not only of a larger number of calls and placements, for the lean years demanded greater effort to bring smaller results, but also of service to a larger number, and of a widening of contacts both within and without the College. In closing her report, the Director wishes to testify to the un- failing loyalty and the untiring efforts of the staff of the Per- sonnel Bureau. Respectfully submitted, Alice I. Perry Wood, Director.

48 APPENDIX TO THE PRESIDENT'S REPORT

PLAN OF DEPARTMENT ORGANIZATION

Adopted by the Academic Council in 1922-23 and approved by the Trustees, October, 1923. Revised to 1936.

The Department Committee:

1. In each department a department committee shall be organized comprising all members of Council rank, carrying the major portion of their work in that department, and, by vote of the Council members and with the approval of the President, instructors not of Council rank. in that The qualifying clause "carrying the major portion of their work department" shall not apply to departments composed wholly of members whose major work is in other departments.

2. The policy and aim of the department in all important matters, except those mentioned in 4, shall be determined by a majority vote of this department com- mittee. Questions settled by this committee should be

a. Academic questions,—as, (1) The determination of requirements either for entrance or graduation (so far as these are left to the departments to determine).

(2) Decisions with regard to work for the master's degree. their (3) The proposal of new courses with determination of prerequisites. (4) The determination of the general relation of all courses in the depart- ment to one another.

(5) The assignment of courses to instructors. h. Administrative questions, as, (1) The use of department appropriations and gifts. (2) The use of library funds. (3) The selection of department lecturers.

It shcfuld be left to each department committee to determine the number and character of its meetings, its rules of procedure, Its appointment of minor officers, and its distribution of routine duties.

3. In meetings where these and like questions are discussed all members of the teaching staff of the department shall in general be present and take part in the discussions in order that policies may be fully understood and that opportunity may be given for questions, suggestions, and protests from the non-voting members of the department. 4. In the case of certain most important questions voting power in the com- mittee shall be restricted to the chairman, full professors and those associate

49 Wellesley College professors who have served at least three years on the Council. Questions settled by this smaller body should be a. Nominations of new assistants, instructors, assistant professors, and asso- ciate professors. h. Recommendations for promotion of any in the department to higher rank, up to and including that of associate professor. c. Recommendations for reappointment and for dismissal.

5. A majority vote of this smaller body shall be required for any of these rec- ommendations to the President and Trustees.

6. Nomination to a full professorship shall come only from those in a depart- ment who hold already the rank of full professor. 7. In any department in which the committee responsible for recommending it will be reappointments, promotions, and dismissals consists of only one person, and the policy of the Council Committee on Reappointments, Promotions, or Dismissals to select, from the group to which the department belongs, one in such more persons to act with the small committee of the department making recommendations. The President or the Dean of the College also will act with the committee.

8. In a department organized as described and entrusted with such respon- be sibilities, the duties of the chief, by whatever title called, would primarily will those of a chairman, viz., to preside and guide discussion and to execute the of the majority. of It is recognized, however, that there are certain other duties for which heads departments have hitherto felt responsible and which would naturally fall into are the hands of one person, most appropriately the chairman. These duties the a. Representation of the department on public occasions and before Trustees, the President, and the students. h. The guidance and criticism of young and inexperienced instructors. c. Decisions in cases of emergency, e.g., in the summer when the department

is scattered.

In view of the character of some of these functions it is believed that it would be wise to have the office still one of dignity and relative permanency, and by vote of the Council it was decided that

d. The chairman be elected by the large department committee from the group of the of professors, associate professors, and assistant professors depart- ment for a term of three years and that the chairman be re-eligible with the understanding that failure to re-elect will not be considered to be a breach of custom.

9. Appeal from decisions of the department committees may be made to the President of the College by any member of the department. Such appeal shall be be stated in writing by the appellant. The decision In question shall also and the stated in writing by the department committee. Both the appellant chairman of the department shall be given opportunity for explanation and SO Appendix to the President's Report

defense of their respective points of view. The President, after consideration of the whole question, shall return it to the department committee for recon- sideration and final decision.

COMMITTEE ON REAPPOINTMENTS, PROMOTIONS AND DISMISSALS

The Committee on Reappointments, Promotions, and Dismissals shall consist

of the President and Dean of the College, ex officiis, and five members of the teaching staff, both professors and associate professors who have served the College for at least five years being eligible to membership.

It shall be the duty of the Committee

1. to consider recommendations from departments and from sources other than departments; 2. to take the initiative in regard to reappointments and promotions; 3. to make recommendations to the President with respect to reappointments, promotions, and dismissals.

The Committee shall be guided in its deliberations by the policy in regard to appointments and promotions adopted by the Academic Council at various times in 1923, 1928, and 1936.

1. Term of appointment. In general the question of terminating an appoint- ment shall be considered by the President of the College in conference with the small committee of the department concerned and any recommendation reached, reviewed by the Committee on Reappointments, Promotions, and Dismissals.

a. Assistants. Appointments of assistants shall be made ordinarily for one year. h. Instructors. Appointments and reappointments of instructors shall be made ordinarily for one year. Instructors shall be notified in writing, not later than January 15, If they are not to be reappointed. c. Assistant Professors. Appointments and reappointments of assistant pro- fessors shall be made ordinarily for three years. An initial appointment to the staff as assistant professor may, however, be made for a term of one year. Assistant professors shall be notified in writing, not later than January 15 of the academic year in which their appointments expire, if they are not to be reappointed. d. Associate Professors. Appointments and reappointments of associate pro- fessors shall be made ordinarily for three years. Associate professors shall be notified in writing, not later than December 1 of the academic year in which their appointments expire. If they are not to be reappointed, and, whenever possible, such notification shall be given at the close of the year before that in which the appointment expires. e. In view of the early notice of a proposed termination of any appointment which the College agrees to give, the teacher who proposes to withdraw is expected to give notice in ample time.

51 Wellesley College

2. An appointment for long term or without limit of term, or reappointment of a professor or associate professor for a second term, should be construed as establishing in general a reasonable expectation of permanency. This expecta- tion should not be disappointed except for incompetence or other reasons arising after the latest appointment. Special circumstances may necessitate special action, as follows:

a. In cases of flagrant immorality, when the facts are admitted, summary dis- missal will naturally ensue. h. In cases where other offenses are charged, and in all cases where the facts are in dispute, the accused teacher shall always have the opportunity to be heard in his own defense by all bodies that pass judgment upon the case. In the trial of charges of professional incompetence the testimony of

scholars in the same field, either from this or from other institutions, shall always be taken, and the accused shall have the right to demand such testimony from scholars outside this institution. c. Termination of permanent or long-term appointments because of financial exigencies should be sought only as a last resort, after every effort has been made to meet the need in other ways and to find for the teacher other employment in the institution. Situations which make drastic retrenchment of this sort necessary should preclude expansions of the staff at other points at the same time, except in extraordinary circum- stances.

REGULATIONS IN REGARD TO SABBATICAL LEAVES AND GRANTS

Adopted by the Board of Trustees, 1936.

1. Sabbatical leave is granted to members of the Faculty not only as a recogni- tion of service through teaching and scholarly contributions, but especially as an is to aid and inspiration to further achievements. Sabbatical leave intended provide teachers with opportunities for scholarly development and contacts which shall contribute to their professional effectiveness and to the value of their later service to Wellesley College. It Is not intended that such leave shall be used primarily for the purposes of recreation and recuperation. are 2. All assistant professors, associate professors, and full professors eligible to sabbatical leaves. The candidate for leave shall have served with some pro- fessorial rank at Wellesley College for at least six years. The opportunity for taking sabbatical leave at regular intervals is not absolutely guaranteed by the involved College and will be granted only when the condition of the department and of the College in general is such that the member's absence will not seriously impair the interests of the College. 3. Sabbatical leave may involve absence for an entire year with half-salary or in the for a half-year with full salary. This provision is subject to modification event that any member of the faculty on sabbatical leave receives compensation for services in another Institution or organization.

52 Appendix to the President's Report

4. Application for leave shall be made in writing and addressed to the President for transfer to the Trustees not later than December IS of the academic year preceding the one for which leave is requested. Upon returning to the College, after sabbatical leave, the member of the faculty shall write a report of activities during the leave and shall transmit the same to the President in a form suitable for publication if desired.

5. The applicant should have a well-considered plan for spending the leave in a manner calculated to contribute to the best interests of Wellesley College. Sabbatical grants are not given at the end of the term of service as a recognition of long and distinguished service. On the contrary, it is expected that members of the faculty receiving leave should return to the College for at least one year, and presumably longer, for further service.

6. The Trustees recognize the fact that administrative officers who have served the College for at least six years in positions comparable to officers of professorial rank should have the advantages of occasional leave of absence with grant and are prepared to consider such cases on their own merits when and if circumstances permit.

71 Mar. REPORT OF THE TREASURER JAMES DEAN 1935-1936

To THE Trustees of Wellesley College: The Treasurer submits the following report of the financial operations of the College for the year ended June 30, 1936. James Dean, Treasurer. To THE Trustees of Wellesley College: A brief summary suffices for the important points in the financial history of 1935-36.

Plant. In September Pendleton Hall offered its spacious accommodations to students in Chemistry, Physics, and Psychology. In addition to department uses the large lecture hall is serving the whole college community. The outdoor theatre, given by Mrs. William Sherman Hay, extends the usefulness of Alumnae Hall and adds greatly to the beauty of the adjacent grounds. The College bought the property at 20 Dover Road, Wellesley, and sold the property at 131 Commonwealth Avenue, formerly used as a Boston clubhouse for students. Funds and Investments. Legacies and gifts to funds amounted to 3185,- 102. The largest gift, from an anonymous friend, was 375,000, subject to an- nuity, with the ultimate use to be determined later. Profit on securities sold and redeemed increased the Securities Investment Reserve Fund to 3130,668. On June 30, 1936, the conservative market value of investments was 1.34 per cent below book value, a gain of 7.03 per cent over figures of the previous year. Income and Expenditures. Student registration, lower than for any year since 1914, fell 3.05 per cent below that for 1934-35. This decrease in registra- tion meant a decrease in student fees of 339,000. In spite, however, of decreased income and a substantial increase in ordinary expenses, the College added to the general Reserve Fund for Depreciation 348,984; made final repayment to endowment funds invested in dormitories of 323,000; made a special additional contribution to the Pension and Insurance Fund of 313,368, and closed the year with a small surplus.

With the retirement of President Pendleton, attention has centered far less on 1935-36 than on the growth during her twenty-five years of office. Her ad- ministration marked the increasingly close and vital union between the offices of the President and the Treasurer of the College. Therefore it seems fitting to summarize briefly for official record some of the outstanding accomplishments of the last quarter century in which, to use her own call to service, she helped to "make possible the impossible." Each of the three major crises through which Miss Pendleton guided the Col- lege, the fire of 1914, the world war, and the great depression, found Wellesley engaged in a financial campaign. The Trustees, reluctant because of unsettled financial conditions, but spurred by great need, in 1913 authorized the "million dollar" campaign for endowment. With the fire, the goal mounted over night to approximately two and one-half millions. In spite of obstacles the fund was over-subscribed by more than 3175,000, a total "larger than was ever raised by subscription for a college before." The Semi-Centennial, commonly known as the nine million dollar campaign, initiated in 1921, enriched the College by more than 39,687,000. The following figures bear witness both to the need and to the success of these campaigns: 1911 1936 Gain Total Funds 31,268,937 39,855,731 38,586,794 Permanent Endowment 1,249,792 8,632,514 7,382,722 Salary Funds 219,043 4,559,475 4,340,432 Scholarship and Fellowship Funds.. .. 278,243 921,002 642,759 Endowment Invested in Dormitories . 338,190 None Accumulated Deficit 35,253 Accumulated Surplus (ten years) 59,172 94,425

During the period the value of the college plant increased by more than 39,500,000. The College lost by fire College Hall and Stone Hall; and by re- moval for new buildings Freeman, Wood, and Wilder. It gained by conversion into dormitories Crawford, Dower, Homestead; by purchase, Washington and 76 WELLESLEY COLLEGE

R. Green Hall 1922 Hallowell House 1932 Munger Hall 1923 Horton House 1935 Pendleton Hall

Three other accomplishments of the period are especially noteworthy. In 1904-05, because of great need, the College began to invest endowment funds in dormitories. By the time of the fire in 1914 this investment amounted to 3375,500 and it increased greatly through later additions. Year by year the College has been liquidating this obligation. Payment in June of 323,000 from current income completely restored to endowment funds the money invested in dormitories and brought the total repayment from current income to approxi- mately 3627,000. 1925-26 marked the first appropriation of 310,000 for a general fund for de- reserve preciation of buildings and fixed equipment. Continued growth of this has since enabled the College to make extraordinary repairs and replacements of more than 31,000,000. The fund now stands at 3740,640. insurance re- In 1927 the pensions and insurance plan with its disability and_ tirement annuities became effective for officers of instruction and administration.

REPORT OF THE SEMI-CENTENNIAL FUND

1921-1936

WELLESLEY COLLEGE SEMI-CENTENNIAL FUND

1921-1936 REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN

The Semi-Centennial Fund Campaign for ^9,000,000 con- sisted of two parts. The first objective, the raising of 32,700,- 000, was completed in June, 1921. This goal was achieved by means of an intensive Alumnae Campaign under the able direc- tion of Elsie Goddard of the Class of 1906. Miss Goddard has given a full report of those stirring campaign days when nearly every one of the 11,000 Wellesley women responded most loy-

ally and generously to the Wellesley call. It is, therefore, with the second phase of the Campaign, the raising of 36,300,000, that this report will deal. This goal, also, was successfully passed and the announcement that 39,031,000 in cash and pledges had been secured was made by President Pendleton at Commence- ment, June 16, 1930. In view of the fact that the pledges ex- tended in most cases over a period of five years, it was decided that the final report should not be made until the pledges were paid and the books of the Fund were closed. At the final ac- counting, June 30, 1936, the figure stands at 39,687,227.46. It is interesting to note that throughout the entire Campaign, and in spite of the depression, the cancelled pledges amounted to only'3172,100, a sum less than 2% of the total receipts. The financial statement which is appended should prove of special interest since it shows not only the total receipts but also the disposition of the funds. When the second phase of the Semi-Centennial Fund was opened in September, 1922,—by vote of the Trustees,—Grace Crocker of the Class of 1904, the new Alumna Trustee, was asked to become Chairman of the Executive Committee. In

111 WELLESLEY COLLEGE

October of that year, Fund headquarters were opened at Wellesley. The General Campaign Committee which had been formed in 1920-21, with the President of the Board of Trustees as Chairman, continued in office; and the Trustees, as a Com- mittee of the whole, served as members of the Executive Com- mittee. The Chairman had the privilege of calling upon any member of the Board for suggestions and assistance, and at all times she had the close counsel and active co-operation of the President of the College. The first step of the new Chairman was to investigate the possibility of carrying on the Campaign under professional di- rection. As a result of this investigation the consensus of opin- ion of the firms consulted was that the goal of 39,000,000 could not be met by Commencement, 1925. This opinion was based primarily on the fact that the alumnae and their relatives and friends, as well as the Trustees, had already made gifts, largely in the form of pledges, to the first phase of the Fund. Never- theless, the General Campaign Committee agreed that on the basis of Wellesley's needs this goal must be achieved as soon as possible, and decided that professional services should not be employed. Already the Trustees had voted that the bequests of Margaret Olivia Sage, Charles Church Drew, and Clara Bertram Kimball, received at the opening of the Campaign in 1921, should count toward the 36,300,000. A vote was now carried that all future bequests received up to the time of the conclusion of the Fund and within the scope of its program should count. The pro- gram of Wellesley's needs had been outlined fully by President Pendleton in 1920. In brief, for the second phase of the Fund, 34,800,000 was needed for specific buildings and 31,500,000 addi- tional for endowment. In surveying the field for the new task it seemed wise to begin by finding out the regions of greatest wealth in the country, as there had been some shifting as a result of the war and post-war boom. A financial expert very kindly made this survey in 1922 for the College. In general, he thought business conditions were improving and believed that the Committee should push

112 WELLESLEY COLLEGE forward without delay, as a long period of depression was liable to overtake the work. He rather conclusively established the fact that the states of New York, Ohio, Massachusetts, Pennsyl- of wealth. vania, Illinois, and California were the centers greatest Owing to the fact that it is difficult to keep up to date any very large list of potential donors covering the whole of the United States, and because of the nature of the Campaign, it was de- cided that the organization should concentrate on these six wealthiest states. In general the line of action pursued was as follows :

(1) Careful studies were made of the specific departments needing funds; their assets as well as needs were studied.

(2) Carefully selected lists of possible donors in each city were prepared. in each (3) The plan was presented personally to key persons city who assisted the Chairman in working out the de- tails of the approach to each individual large giver.

For the most part the publicity worked hand in hand with this program. Pamphlets were sent from time to time to all Welles- ley women to keep them in touch with the College and to stimu- late their interest in Wellesley. Specially designed pamphlets were given to potential donors and a wide use of the guest house at Wellesley was made. The methods used in raising the remainder of the Fund were, therefore, quite different from those used in the first phase of the Campaign. The efforts were in the main characterized by the quiet solicitation of gifts from individuals of large wealth. It was a task that had to be pursued slowly and patiently, for new friends had to be won for the College and then persuaded to ex- press- their friendship in terms of dollars, and dollars in large figures. As already indicated, support in this new work came largely through the co-operation of key persons (usually Trus- tees, alumnae, or husbands or fathers of alumnae) in each city in suggesting names of potential donors and in giving helpful information in regard to the approach. One of the most en- couraging factors during the eight years that the Chairman

113 WELLESLEY COLLEGE travelled from coast to coast in the Interest of the Fund was the friendly welcome, the gracious hospitality, and the cordial co- operation from these key persons in furthering the work of the Fund. Without them, the task could not have been accom- plished. In addition to large gifts from individuals the educational foundations were the other chief source of benefactions. Early in the Campaign studies were made of all foundations, their ob- jectives, gifts, etc. Often through the eight years material was prepared and appeals were directed to the various boards that the College hoped to interest. A total of 3375,000 is the meas- ure of success from this source.

In contrast to the gifts from individual large donors and the foundations, a second appeal asking for a voluntary birthday gift from all alumnae was made in the Semi-Centennial year of 1925. This netted the Fund in cash and pledges 3221,000. And at the same time a campaign for funds under student direc- tion, with Eleanor Hunter, 1925, as Chairman, was inaugurated among the undergraduates and their parents. This brought to the Fund 3152,000 in cash and pledges. Approximately 350,000 of this amount was contributed by six of the parents who were personally approached and asked to serve as sponsors of the campaign. Moreover, at the initiation of the Alumnae Fund in 1928 and for the following two years the Alumnae Fund Committee gra- ciously agreed to designate their gifts for some purpose within the scope of the Semi-Centennial Fund program. Although it is outside the scope of this report, it seems only fair to record that in 1936 the alumnae designated their gifts for the Ellen Fitz Pendleton Fund for Sabbatical Grants, a foundation of the Semi-Centennial Fund. In the final accounting of the Semi- Centennial Fund, therefore, the Alumnae Fund gifts total 3125,260. In 1928 and again in 1930, student committees aided the Chairman in raising funds among the undergraduates for the Swimming Pool. Two gifts amounting to 310,000 from a parent and an aunt of an undergraduate and a conditional gift of 350,000

114 WELLESLEY COLLEGE for this purpose from the honorary member of the Class of 1920, a Trustee of the College, added much to the interest and en- thusiasm of the students.

On several other occasions, also, a conditional gift marked the progress of the Fund. In November, 1924, Mr. Edward S. Harkness of New York offered Wellesley 3100,000 toward the cost of Severance Hall on condition that an additional 3300,000 be raised by April 1st, to complete the cost of the building. This condition was met and the 3100,000 secured. In February, 1929, Mr. Harkness again very generously offered the College 3175,000 for endowment if the 3525,000, the amount necessary to complete the endowment part of the Semi-Centennial Fund, were secured. This, too, was triumphantly accomplished Jan- uary 1, 1930. In this latter effort a Boston Committee rendered genuine service. Mr. Julius Rosenwald was another generous donor who made a gift of 325,000 when an equal sum had been secured from donors in Chicago and the West. And finally, in November, 1929, the General Education Board, which had al- ready given 3500,000 to the first phase of the Campaign, agreed to give the last 3300,000 needed to complete the 39,000,000. There is no question but that these conditional gifts did much to stimulate interest and to encourage other donors to give more generously. To the more than 15,000 friends of Wellesley who enabled the College to exceed by the notable sum of 3687,227 her ambitious goal of 39,000,000, the Trustees are deeply grateful. The gifts have provided greatly needed funds for endowment and have replaced with attractive, adequate buildings the many tempo- rary wooden structures hastily erected after the College Hall fire in 1914. Furthermore, these individual gifts, varying in amounts from 31-00 to 3630,000, have an intangible significance which is very precious to Wellesley College—a significance which spells approval not only of the present work of the College but a belief that with this new equipment Wellesley will go forward training more and more effectively for intelligent and responsible citizenship the young women entrusted to her care. It is with enthusiasm and with high hopes born of this confidence that the

lis WELLESLEY COLLEGE

College will continue her task. To the copy of this report which is filed in the College archives is appended a list of the large donors in order that permanent record may be made of their generosity to the College. Finally, this report would not be complete without recording the Chairman's deep indebtedness to President Pendleton for her steadfast encouragement and loyal support. It is hardly necessary to add that the work could not have come to a suc- cessful conclusion without her active help.

Grace G. Crocker, Chairman.
