AS this issue of the Alumnae News goes to press, gifts and pledges to the Fiftieth Anniversary Fund total approximately $1,525,000, or half of the $3,100,000 goal which the College hopes to reach by Commencement of 1961. Of this total, $665,000 have come from 2.465 alumnae contributors; the balance from Trustees, parents, friends of the College, corporate and industry gifts, and other miscellaneous sources. Several areas, including Akron, Cleveland, Detroit, Minneapolis-St. Paul, and Worcester have already exceeded their quotas, while a number of other communities have recorded substantial progress during the past few weeks. Local area activity on behalf of the Fund has gotten underway only recently in Buffalo, Springfield, Hartford, and Long Island, where volunteer committees of alumnae workers have responded enthusias- tically to the challenge of the campaign. Currently more than 700 Connecticut College alumnae are working actively in 32 areas across the country. The results of their efforts have been manifold: campaign activity has renewed old friendships, re-vitalized local clubs, and gained nationwide publicity for the Col- lege, with a concurrent increase in the number of applications for admission to the Freshman class. Much of the credit for what has been accomplished so far deservedly belongs to the alumnae who have joined together in this the most important project undertaken by Connecticut College since its founding nearly fifty years ago. Your efforts, and those of your classmates and friends (most of whom, like yourself, paid only slightly more than half the actual cost of their education at Connecticut), have brought the Fiftieth Anniversary Fund to the halfway mark. And so it should be, for it is upon the strength and enthusiasm of its alumnae that every gift- sl~ppo~ted college must. depend if it is to .maintain the quality of its program in the face of today's ever- widening $"ap between income and expenditures. For Connecticut, this is a real and vital problem, and one to which the alumnae, m.ore than .a~y other segment of the College's constituency, hold the ultimate key. As the products of a pnce.less privilege you, the alu~mae of C?nnecticut College, will determine in large measure whether others WIll also have the opportunIty of shanng in that great privilege. . Wha~ kind of future Connecticut College is to have will depend greatly on the success of the Fif- tieth Anniversary Fund. At this writing, the campaign stands at the halfway mark. How far is halfway? To that question too, you, the alumnae, can and will provide the answer.

The activities of the Parent Education Committee here in Oak Park are contributing to the awakening of com- munity interest in education. This Committee, composed of two mothers from each of the eleven schools in Oak Park, was created several years ago by the school admin- istration as a sort of liaison between parents and admin- istrators, as well as a sounding board for new ideas. The Committee has worked with steadily increasing effec- tiveness to investigate matters of interest to the schools. They invited members of the administrative staff to speak at their monthly meetings last year on projected changes and developments in each of the subjects taught. Then, at subsequent meetings of their individual PTA's, the mem- o o bers of the Parent Education Committee briefed their schools on what was going on.

9 ALUMNAE DAY - 1959

OVER 200 alumnae and friends arrived on campus Satur- day, October 17, to take part in Alumnae Day. They found things considerably changed. Registration (seen below) ALUMNAE REGIstER took place in the lobby of the Crozier-Williams Center, an impressive $1,500,000 addition to the College. The Svkes Alumnae Center, new home for the Alumnae Office, was housed in a wing of Crozier-Williams, and the luncheon, for- HERE merly held in Thames, was in the modern, glass-walled sand- wich shop of the Center. The events of the day, some of which are shown on the following pages, included visits to classes, a tour of the Center, dedication of the Center, lunch- eon, a symposium, and a tea.

Ready t? greet returning alumnae were Mrs. Amy Shies, secretary in the Alumnae Office; l\~rs: Sadie Benjamin, controller for the Asso- elation, and Mrs. Charlotte Crane, executive secretary of the Alumnae Association. They are seen here by the entrance to the new Sykes Alumnae Center.

THE program for prospective students is an important part of Alum- nae Day, but not until this year did it begin to assume large pro- portions. Approximately 100 prospective students, three times more than last year, appeared on Saturday morning to take part in a pro- gram planned by the Admissions Office. Seen often were proud alum" nae mothers arriving for the day with teen-aged (and younger) daughters. A special meeting for prospective students was followed by lunch in the dormitories with student hostesses and swimming in the Crozier-Williams pool.

Conversations at the College led eventually to the presentation to the legislature of the state of Connecticut of a bill creating the "Connecticut College for Men," empowered to grant degrees to men, in this instance the degree of Master of Arts.
