Mr. Harnack's books include two novels. Work of an Ancient Hand and Love and Be Silent. Besides writing short stories and essays, he has also served as fiction editor of Esquire and as one of the editors of the yearly O. Henry collection.

A graduate of Harvard University, Mr. Kunitz has taught at Bennington College; Potsdam, New York State Teachers College; and the New School, in New York City. At the present time he teaches poetry at New York's celebrated Poetry Center. His works include Selected Poems, 1928-58, for which he was awarded a Pulitzer Prize, Intellectual Things and Passport to the War.

Among his many honors are rhe Garrison Medal for Poetry, the Oscar Blumenthal Prize, a Guggenheim Fel- lowship, and a Letters Grant from the National Institute of Arts. Stanley Kunitz

The last writer on campus was David Jenkins, a short story writer (N^w Yorker Magazine') and poet who now teaches at the College of William and Mary. Here for only a day, Mr. Jenkins attended the creative writing class, listened to and criticised a short story written by a member of the class, and talked about Welsh literature in which he has done considerable work. One of the things he men- tioned was the similarity in the treatment of children that you find in such novels as Henry James' Turn of the Screw, Richard Hughes' High Wind inJamaica, and the recent book by WilUam Golding, Lord of the Flies.

The college hopes to continue the practice of inviting writers to the campus, and is already making plans for the coming year. Curtis Harnack and Hortense *Ellington White Callisher

Editor's Note: Mr. White, a member of the Longwood English staff, is himself an audior of short stories and magazine articles.

November, 1962 Longwood alumnae, who returned to Farmville for Founders Day last March and passed the Library saw the High Street exterior view unchanged: the white columns at the entrance, the clock tower, and the red brick terrace with its early spring flowers. Those of you who came into the building saw a transformation: an interior change and enlargement which was the result of years of planning and the expenditure of approximately 5450,000.00.

Some years ago it was apparent that the Library, which ^a^ecf. had been opened in 1939, had outgrown its quarters to the point where it was unable to function as elSciently

as it should. The book shelves were jammed; the office and catalog room were overcrowded; the reading rooms often presented the appearance of a bus station on a Labor Day weekend; clearly, the time had come.

President Lankford secured the services of an experienced library-building consultant, Mr. William Jesse, Librarian of the University of Tennessee, and after visits to the campus and an investigation of the existing quarters, meetings with the library stafit, the architects and members of the faculty and administrative staff, Mr. Jesse dtew up a program for enlargement and renovation. It was an imaginative and striking program for the guidance of the

architects; in essence it discarded the idea of enlarged reading rooms and an enlarged bookstack and called in- ^a^Ci^Aten. stead for the elimination of a central bookstack. A three floor addition of approximately 25,000 square feet at the rear was suggested. These areas would contain new free- standing shelving and reading and study facilities. In other words the library's book and periodical collections would be out in the open over the entire area with reading tables, private study carrels, and lounge furniture inter- mingled. Mr. Jesse's proposals were enthusiastically accepted, and funds for the work were included in the ^c6^%an.cf legislative appropriation for the college. Thompson and Payne, Architects, of Roanoke began work on the plans; and in January, 1961, the library staff, with the help of the Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds and a hard- working crew, moved the entire contents of the library to the empty elementary school building a block away.

Work on the building continued for more than a year. Walls were knocked down; stairways disappeared; windows were bricked up; old light fixtures disappeared; the dark By Charles E. Butler, Librarian crowded stack was dismantled tier by tier. Quarters in the elementary school were less than ideal, but the time, in retrospect, passed quickly enough. In February, 1962, the weary move back began, the labor lessened somewhat because we were moving back into a building that was beautiful, modern, spacious.

As you enter the lobby from High Street, you are in a long, wide, uncluttered space. To the left is the main desk, twenty-one feet long but unobtrusive; the only other pieces of furniture are several small groupings of chairs, sofas, coffee tables, and some decorative plants.

area of the main floor. Here have been re-located the card catalog, the reference collection, the periodical indexes, and the pamphlet and picture files. Twelve ranges of book shelves, individual study carrels, and informal lounge furniture occupy the remainder of the floor. The walls are a soft green; the floors are gray with flecks of green; and the fifteen windows are curtained in a green shade called celadon. Directly behind this addition is a new mall where the young grass and new trees and shrubs are thriving.

The new areas on the floor above and below are similar in equipment and furnishing, with the former including five private faculty studies. Also included are a microfilm reading room with five readmg machines, three seminar rooms, staff and student lounges, an exhibition room (the former Browsing Room), a listening room, and seven small rooms for group study use. The entire building is air-conditioned and humidity-controlled, and will seat about 450 readers. Shelving will permit the book collection to grow to 140.000 volumes.

The exterior views from the sides and rear give no inkling that the whole structure was not planned origin- ally as a single unit.

The "new" Longwood Library is a beautiful building, inside and out, and should serve the College efficiently for many, many years to come. But a library is not a building alone; it is chiefly books—the recorded word, the recorded dream: man's struggle to achieve the height.

I wrote a poem to read to the Richmond Alumnae chapter at its 1962 meeting; in the poem I tried to imagine the lingering impressions of a young person who had used (and used well) a library such as ours.

I remember that place as beautiful. It had walls, yes, but they did not enclose: They were walls that opened to the worlds of the past.

And the worlds I know, this one, that one, those . . .

That place was as beautiful as a dream:

I could walk over its wide floors to anything:

There I could hear Karenina's mufl^ed scream,

I could walk with David Copperfield And a thousand explorers,

I could hear La Traviata sing.

That place had windows opening on all the world: Those books: there Da Vinci's beautiful women smiled: There Byron slouched: there Dylan Thomas drank himself to death: There Marie Antoinette murmured something softly to her child: There Lindbergh knew the Atlantic below him in the dark Was fanged and dangerous and wild.

I remember that place, I remember those books, those pages- All of them were windows, they were passages of light To all the tangled centuries and ages Pages to the ages of shadow and ages that were bright. And my own time— it was there: All its strange pages that will be fingered by Time.

CHANGING PATTERNS IN THE HIGHER EDUCATION OF WOMEN

By Ruth B. Wilson

Editor's Note: This speech was delivered at Founders Day.

To initiate any conversation today around the subject of education is like releasing the floodgates of Grand Coulee Dam! Every newspaper and magazine editor, every alert congressman and legislator, every man on the street who can write legibly enough to send a "letter to the editor," plus a sprinkling of educators, have been sounding off on their pet theories concerning our educational system from kindergarten through certain medical schools. Articles and letters and editorials and conversations Ruth B. Wilson center around that most popular of topics, "The Education Dean of Women and Professor of Education of American Youth, Where Is It Lacking, and What Shall

We Do About It.'" Much that is written or verbalized gives the emblem of sublimer enjoyments; her person is evidence of some deep, sincere thinking.

Alumnae Magazine A WORD FROM

MR. WYGAL

Fred O. Wygal Acting President

As this message is being written, your president, Dr. Francis G. Lantcford, Jr., is

arriving in Pakistan, where lie will remain for the next year. There, he is a leader of a distinguished group of American educators on an enterprise that will present the true image of America to the people of this ancient land. Through this project, supported by the Ford Foundation, the educational leaders of Pakistan will gain understanding and experience in developing programs of education intended eventually to accomplish for their people what public education has accomplished for the masses of people in America.

Longwood College is honored that its leader should be chosen to direct this important mission.

In orientmg myself to the responsibilities of acting president of Longwood College

during the absence of Dr. Lankford, I am profoundly impressed with the nature and quality of the traditions that make Longwood an institution of preeminence. In the firm handclasp, the steady look from friendly eyes, and the offers of encouragement and good

wishes I receive from the Alumnae and friends of Longwood, I see evidence of the abundant spirit Longwood has transmitted to each of you. My challenge shall be to preserve and to carry forward these traditions so that Longwood will continue to serve the

educational needs of this generation as effectively as it has for almost a century.

As I review the role of Longwood College as an educational institution and search

for the source of the spirit that creates and preserves its preeminence, I find very definitely

that the Alumnae Association is an integral force. Through the influence of this force, most new students, before arriving at Longwood, have had transmitted to them through alumnae acquaintances some of the cherished features of the institution's enduring

qualities. Through local chapters of the Association, the spirit and feelings kindled during college days are nurtured and kept burning bright. Through the activities of your Association, both state-wide and local, you transmit ideas and engage in endeavors that nurture the continued material and spiritual growth of your Alma Mater.

In the immediate years ahead, your active support of Longwood College will be

needed as never before. As you know, the primary purpose of this institution is to produce teachers for the public schools of Virginia. This distinct function of Longwood College

and certain other state-supported institutions of Virginia is becoming more and more the focus of attention of public-minded citizens of Virginia. Only as each of you loyal alumnae of Longwood join hands in helping your Alma Mater develop the programs and

facilities for the challenges that lie ahead shall we continue to preserve the traditions that are our heritage today.

Alumnae Magazine YOUR ALUMNAE

PRESIDENT SPEAKS .

.-•' J ANIE Potter Ha-nes. President i''-'''

It seems such a short while ago that I had this opportunity of contacting you! Then, I thought that you

should exercise your option to elect another to serve as your President for the year, for I realized that the demands of the office and the needs of the Association were for one who could devote mote time to our

College than I could. I am of the same mind still but nevertheless shall cairy on as I can to serve and assist the Alumnae Association and Longwood. I have found the responsibilities of this office both challenging and rewarding, and I cannot urge too strongly that you give your sincere interest and hearty cooperation to the affairs of Longwood, present and future.

My remarks of a year ago could well be repeated, but with still greater conviction now that I have been privileged to observe more closely the very hard work and the long hours which your Association staff expends throughout every day of the year. As for the faculty and staff of Longwood College itself, I must state that only a truly dedicated group of those devoted to the education and training of youth could do what they are doing. While salary is no measure of recompense for these friends of Alumnae or molders of

students, I cannot stress too strongly the effort which should our be exerted by each individual, as well J 3 as alumnae chapters, toward the economic recognition of laboi performed above and beyond the call of duty! And I also wish it understood that each one of us should continue and increase our support of our Alumnae Association with larger funds for all of its causes, some of which are barely existing just now. There is need for encouragement, a letter or a word, to that staff on how well they are carrying out their duties.

We could not fail to be thrilled by an announcement of Dr. Lankford's at Founders Day in March saying that, even at that date, Longwood had selected sufficient top quality student applicants to fill its classrooms for the coming year; nor could we fail to feel ihe disappointment in realizing that many girls were being refused admission and were feeling the despondency of rejection. We might recall our own youthful laxity in high school studies, which did not cost such a price in those past days, and imagine such careless repetition last year on the part of such a girl. I would ask each of you to use your influence, and advise your younger friends who are a year or so away from college not to risk such a rejection, be it from Longwood or some other college. Teachers, mothers, and especially those of you who are closer in age and social contacts, have a most setious responsibility in this sort of educational and psychological preparation of youth.

One of the ways we alumnae can assist both the college and the precoUege girl is to support the administration of Longwood, and other State schools, in the realization of planned additions and improve- ments to the plant: classrooms, dormitories, recreational and physical training facilities, as well as those intangible but vital needs which can best be met through the student union and facilities for the exercise of student government and extracurricular activities which train in social and economic organization. Funds are needed, and our legislators and representatives should be well informed of the leading position Longwood holds in the responsible education and training of our Virginia girls as teachers and mothers of tomorrow.

We shall miss Dr. Lankford this year! As he goes about his duties in Pakistan, we wish him and his family well. We shall be happy when they return. We welcome you, Mr. Wygal, and we want you to be well assured of our complete and hearty cooperation in your responsibilities and duties at Longwood. We may not be fully aware of what we may do to help you, but we are eager to do our part! Please advise us individually and otherwise as to the ways and means in which we may lend our active suppott.

To you alumnae, whether one year or four years at Longwood, I urge you to affiliate yourself with the nearest Alumnae Chapter, take an active part in its woik, and attend its meetings. Plan now to attend Foundets Day, March 16. Your heart will warm with renewal of old ties!

Against this force, what chance higher education are being devised to accommodate has American higher education to stand strong, to maintain standards, to improve quahty, to keep sight of the individual student? And, as part of the gigantic population swell, what chances have your children?

TO BOTH QUESTIONS, there are some encouraging answers. At the same time, the intelligent parent will not ignore some danger signals.

FINDING ROOM FOR EVERYBODY NOT EVERY COLLEGE or University in the country is able to expand its student capacity. A number have concluded that, for one persuasive reason or another, they must maintain their present enrollments. They are not blind to the need of American higher education, in the aggregate, to accommodate mpre students in the years ahead; indeed.

other segment of U.S. higher education is a group com- prising both pubUc and independently supported institutions: the two-year, or "junior," colleges. Approximately 600 now exist in the United States, and experts estimate that an average of at least 20 per year will be established in the coming decade. More than 400 of the two-year institutions are community colleges, located within commuting distance of their students.

These colleges provide three main services : education for students who will later transfer to four-year colleges or universities (studies show they often do as well as those who go directly from high school to a four-year institution, and sometimes better), terminal training for voca- tions (more and more important as jobs require higher ILLUSTRATIONS BY PEGGY SOUCHECK technical skills), and adult education and community cultural activities.

Honors programs, opportunities for undergraduate research, insistence on creditable scholastic achievement are symp- tomatic of the concern for academic excellence.

It's important to realize that this emphasis on quaUty will be found not only in four-year colleges and universi-

ties, but in two-year institutions, also. "Each [type of institution] shall strive for excellence in its sphere," is how the California master plan for higher education puts

it; the same idea is pervading higher education at all levels throughout the nation.

THE TV SCREEN TELEVISION, not long ago found only in the lounges of dormitories and student unions, is now an accepted teaching tool on many campuses. Its use will grow. "To report on the use of television in teaching," says Arthur S. Adams, past president of the American Council on Education, "is hke trying to catch a galloping horse."

Such measures vdR inevitably better the chances of students when they reach college. Better testing and counseling programs should help, byiguiding less-able students away from institutions where they'll be beyond their depth and into institutions better suited to their abiUties and needs. Growing popular acceptance of the two-year college concept will also help, as will the adoption of increasingly selective admissions procedures by four-year colleges and universities. Parents can help by encouraging activities designed to find the right academic spot for their children; by recog- develop independence from adults. "This, coupled with the reflected image that a person acquires from his parents—an image relating to persistence and other traits and values—may have much to do with his orientation toward academic success," the Colgate investigators say. Money: Most parents think they know the cost of sending a child to college. But, a recent survey shows, relatively few of them actually do. The average parent, the survey disclosed, underestimates college costs by roughly 40 per cent. In such a situation, parental savings for college purposes often run out quickly—and, unless the student can fill the gap with scholarship aid, a loan, or earnings from part-time employment, he drops out. FUTURE outlook: A surprisingly high proportion of financial dropouts are children of middle-income, not low-income, families. If parents would inform themselves fully about current college costs—and reinform themselves periodically, since prices tend to go up—a substan- tial part of this problem could be solved in the future by realistic family savings programs. Other probabihties: growing federal and state (as well as private) scholarship programs; growing private and governmental loan programs. Jobs: Some students, anxious to strike out on their own, are lured from college by jobs requiring little skill but offering attractive starting salaries. Many such students may have hesitated about going to college in the first place and drop out at the first opportunity. FUTURE outlook: The lure of jobs will always tempt some students, but awareness of the value of completing college—for lifelong financial gain, if for no other reason —is increasing. ing living quarters for married undergraduate students.

"Skills," predicts a Presidential committee, "may become obsolete in our fast-moving industrial society. Sound education provides a basis for adjustment to constant and abrupt change—a base on which new skills may be built." The moral will not be lost on tomorrow's students. In addition to having such practical motives, tomorrow's students will be influenced by a growing tendency to expose them to graduate-level work while they are still undergraduates. Independent study will give them a taste of the intellectual satisfaction to be derived from learning on their own.

Hard-core costs alone equal, at public institutions, about 13 per cent of the average American family's annual income; at private institutions, about 23 per cent of average annual income.

Nearly half of aU parents begin saving money for their children's college education well before their children are ready to enroll. Fourteen per cent report that they borrow money to help meet college costs. Some 27 per cent take on extra work, to earn more money. One in five mothers does additional work in order to help out.

Financing the education of one's children is obviously. —

Using the current and the 1970 figures that were cited earlier, tuition will probably have to carry, on the average, about 2 per cent more of the share of total educa-

tional costs than it now carries. Governmental support, although increasing by about a billion dollars, will actu-

ally carry about 7 per cent less of the total cost than it now does. Endowment income's share will remain about the same as at present. Revenues in the category of "other

sources" can be expected to dechne by about .8 per cent, in terms of their share of the total load. Private gifts and grants—from alumni, non-alumni individuals, businesses and unions, philanthropic foundations, and religious denominations—must carry about 6 per cent more of the

total cost in 1970, if higher education is not to founder.
