Another signiﬁcant difference is that the Graduate School admits men, who now make up about 15 percent of the population. The Graduate School processes about 800 applications each year.

"Many of our applicants are recruited through the individual Graduate School Divisions, and often they have had some prior training, or have already worked in their area of specialization and bring a wide variety of interests and experiences to graduate study," she said. In order to expand its professional population, the Graduate School adver tises in local and national newspapers, on radio and in such national professional publications as Learni/if; Slagazine. Material regarding the various graduate programs are distributed at professional conferences and meetings. Alumni know the college, value it and can potentially be the most successful recruiters, and, Ms. Ackerson stressed, "The most important things alumni can do are often the. simplest! Absolutely number one on the list is to give me the names of young women they would like to see at Lesley," she said. She suggested that alumni let her know if they are willing to have their names given by the Admissions Office to pro spective students, their parents and local high school guidance counselors. Alumni who are currently teaching could invite prospective students to visit their classrooms and talk with their col leagues. Ms. Ackerson would like to see stronger support by local alumni of the Admissions Office's annual Alumni Prospective Stu dent Day held each November.

Caring is the Lesley hallmark An interview with Dr. Winifred S. Lair

by Stacy Greenspan Stacy Greenspan is a free lance audio-visual specialist who is preparing a slide-tape presenta tion for Lesley College. In the course of this pro ject, he interviewed several Lesley faculty members about the way they approach their various areas of expertise, how they see the Col lege and its future, and why they came to Lesley and choose to remain here. We would like to share these with you. The ﬁrst in this series features Dr. Winifred S. Lair, retiring head of the Science Division and Professor of Psychology.

Mr. Greenspan: What are the Lesley students like? Dr. Lair: It's hard not to speak in cliches because everybody will tell you the same thing: that the selection process seems to in volve their coming in with an unusual amount of dedication. They are determined to gain experience. They will volunteer. They'll work very hard. By the time they graduate most of our students have had six to eight different experiences outside of their student teaching. If 1 offer an opportunity to do volunteer work and report on that work as a substitute for a research paper, a good third of the class will do it. They're seeking ex periences. Mr. Greenspan: What kinds of activities are involved with the v o l u n t e e r w o r k ? Dr. Lair: The students might go into an institution such as the Lindemann Center, the school at McLean Hospital, a special program for the severely retarded, a program for the blind at the Perkins School, or into a hospital. Sometimes they will go into a elassroom just to observe. They have an unusual quality of dedieation. Partly for that reason, 1 think they're better adjusted than most college students. You don't get the problems of career choice, wondering who they are and what they want. You don't get the kind of bitter hostility you sometimes see in college students. Mr. Greenspan: Does this feeling about service change into a more professional attitude as time goes on? What is the process? Dr. Lair: Their feelings grow very naturally into a more profes sional attitude. 1 see great changes. For years I taught ail the freshmen in general psychology and then later, I taught them all as seniors in educational psychology and measurements. I was always astonished at the maturity, the poise, the growth in the students. I've been here 26 years. I recently went through 26 years of reading every single entry in the alumnae magazine. I was really stunned at the number of our students who have gone into graduate work. They're preparing further for their work as reading specialists, guidance counselors, curriculum specialists. One had run for and won a position on the school committee and a couple of others are in television; two or three have writ Dr. Winifred S. Lair ten childrens' books. Over and over again, they carried through their dedication and their interest in serving. 19

Mr. Greenspan: Would you agree that the Lesley graduate has a higher potential for achieving success in her field? Mr. Greenspan: As far as the future of education, do you feel Dr. Lair: No question. They appear to me, at least, to be very that Lesley graduates will be able to manage to have a career successful and happy in their fields. considering the gloomy prospects for jobs? Do you think Mr. Greenspan: What makes the difference? they'll fare well in the market? Dr. Lair: First, I don't think anyone would elect to come to Dr. Lair: Absolutely! There certainly will always be schools and Lesley unless they had a lot of initial motivation and interest. there will always be a need for good teachers. The kind of Part of their suceess is due to a whole lot of caring, hard work, education they get here is important. Our minor concentrations skill and planning on the part of the faculty. And then 1 would are very helpful to teachers. We currently have 150 psychology say, they are normally self-assertive in respect to their feelings, minors and 64 guidance minors. A teaching background a so tits which is good. They will communicate with a faculty member if in very well for students who later choose to go into social work, they feel they're not getting a good learning experience. counseling, psychology, or human services of any kind. Mr. Greenspan: What makes this school a unique school for Mr. Greenspan: It's a good base. you? Dr. Lair: Right, and an education major, rather than detenng, is Dr. Lair: 1 think it is the unusual quality of caring on the part of a big help. I had a former student who got her Ph.D. in the faculty. As division head, 1 find that none of my faculty, or psychology at Columbia. Her first task was to handle a ward ot any other, will miss a division meeting or fail to accept a respon psychotics in a state mental hospital. She said that ''If it hadn sibility for a committee or to meet with students or whatever it been for my student teaching situation where 1 had been in might be. I think that's something very unusual. You don't find charge of groups, I never could have dealt with it." it in other colleges. Mr. Greenspan: Could you highlight a little bit of the content of Mr. Greenspan: What are your personal feelings about teaching the first year curriculum? as a profession? How do you see it in terms of importance in Dr Lair- All students take freshmen CORE. This is one of our this society? unique features, 1 think. It really introduces them to the whole Dr. Lair: 1 think it's everything. I think that teachers can have area of education and provides them with field work from the every kind of influence from helping the child feel accepted and beginning. grow with a feeling of self-worth, to things like working with others, to developing the basic skills he'll need all his life. I've Mr. Greenspan: Sort of an intense introduction into education? run across many instances in reading where a teacher influenced Dr Lair: Yes. In addition all students take general psychology, a child in a career choice 20 years later. I've observed that many composition and a history course. times. I also think a poor teacher can turn off the child, can Mr. Greenspan: Tell me a little bit about the psychology depart make him feel he can't learn and he'll never get it. I think a bad ment. teacher can just close out a child's prospects, whereas a good Dr Lair: It's small, but we have some excellent people. One of teacher can develop all kinds of interest. 1 think this is terribly these is Phyllis Kaplan who teaches half-time. We also have Jane important. Rifkin who is excellent. She and I are the only full-time faculty Mr. Greenspan: Have you had any particularly rewarding ex in psychology but we complement each other very well. periences in your career here that you might want to talk about?
