I t ’s excellent. I like it very much. However, the 5-Ws In praise of Katie propounded by Dean Stone are often overlooked. For instance, on the listing o f deaths (births and I can’t recall reading anything emanating from the marriages too, which don’t concern me at this late date) the University o f Montana since the late ’50 s which encouraged “where” and “when” are always missing. Where were me more than the article by Deborah Reno regarding the they living when they died; when did they die? I know selection of Katie Richards as a Rhodes Scholar. som e o f the deaths listed aren’t reported until a couple o f Over the years I have developed an attitude that a years later, maybe more . but it is important to know majority of people coming out of the University of that; and certainly where they last lived is equally Montana were eco-freaks, hippies, no-nukers, earth-mamas important. and pot smokers. Now we com e to the class notes on various and sundry: I hope Katie is the beginning o f a new trend. In the name of “Women’s Lib” if a woman graduated under her maiden name or any other name, that should be Robert A. Svoboda, ’49 shown as part o f her current “married” name. “John and Santa Barbara, California Mary Smith, both class of 1940, are now located in Timbuctoo. ’’S o John, the class o f ’40, will be ' remembered, but who-in-the-world was “Mary” now John’s spouse? In your alumni notes every female Wrong to accept scholarship nomenclature should carry the name under which she I was surprised to learn that the Rhodes Scholarship fund graduated, else she is totally lost to her own youth. We do was specifically intended to be for men only. Katie not live anymore in a totally macho world where the Richards’ arguments that “times have changed,” that husband’s name is the only name that counts. Such “women didn’t go to college back then,” and that “if demeaning o f a wom an’s past identity is very irritating to there was a problem, it was with changing the will” are me. I t ’s also puzzling to the younger generations but they totally irrelevant. If this is the kind o f reasoning one can don’t consciously figure out how it can be improved upon. expect from a Rhodes Scholar, I’m not impressed. And Sheila, my dear, you slipped up in the last Cecil Rhodes had a right to expect the terms o f his will M ontanan which carried your proper signature on the front to be adhered to; after all, it was his money, not public page, but not on your by lined article inside. Who is funds. Stearns? Somebody’s wife, o f course. Can you imagine the outrage that would occur among women if a wealthy feminist willed her money to a Martha Dunlap M oore ’28 scholarship fund for female students, and Congress changed Chicago it to accommodate men? Editor’s note: Unfortunately we do not have the space or a If Katie was a person of moral character she would uniform amount o f information on everyone to expand our listing refuse the scholarship, realizing that it was morally wrong o f births, marriages and deaths.
