Excerpt from Bulletin of Wellesley College, Vol. 43: President's Report and Statistical Studies of the College; January, 1954 Health lectures, a traditional part of the required freshman program, were under revision throughout the period in question. It has long been evident that personal health knowledge is so varied among entering students that a common course benefits few of them and that most college students are not interested in public health, in spite of one's wishing them to be interested. Informal dormitory discussions with the college psychiatrist and an occasional lecture in an extracurricular series on aspects of health seem to be proving more useful. The few examples cited above are intended to suggest the vitality of the annual review of academic offerings. The reten tion of the basic curriculum indicates satisfaction among the faculty, which students give every evidence of Sharing, but not complacency. Nor are we without academic problems. Too many departments reply, when asked what needs or desires they have, that they wish more elections by freshmen. The number of students who take further work in a subject, once having tried it, is heartening. But relatively few students elect on en trance work in Greek, Latin, Italian, or German, and though it is the second largest language department, the department of Spanish is aware of decreasing freshman elections.

Excerpt from Bulletin of Wellesley College; November 15, 1966, Vol. 56: Issue Containing the President's Report, 1964-1965, 1965-1966 During the two years covered by this Report interest centered first in preparing for and then in implementing the academic calendar and the degree requirements which had been adopted in june 1964 to take effect in September 1965. In 1964-1965 the members of many departments planned new advanced courses or redistribution of materials among courses, new sequences for major students, new ways of presenting some of the continuing courses, or, especially in departments which were chang ing from a two-unit to a one-unit introduction to their discipline, new introductory courses. The most extensive and carefully structured revisions occurred in the departments of Biological Sciences, Chem istry and Geology. Only a few departments chose to postpone con sideration of revisions until they could see how their established courses would fit into the new scheme. The foreign language departments found little need to consider revisions in order to relate to the all college changes, except in relation to the short third term. Members of many other departments engaged in serious rethinking in the light of the earlier faculty discussions and revised or reconfirmed their various offerings, so that the students in 1965-1966 saw substantive change as well as changes in schedule. Some illustrations follow of departmental planning in 1964 1965: The Department of Art planned new sequences and new seminars for alternate years which it expected would strengthen its offerings.

Excerpt from Wellesley College Bulletin, Vol. 29: President's Report Number for the Year 1938-1939 The Personnel Bureau reports that 245 students had term time employment, earning an average Of about twenty dollars during the year. In the exchanges and agencies on the campus fifteen students earned in excess of one hundred dollars and one student earned as much as $233. There are about fifty students engaged in regular jobs as assistants, campus guides, and clerical workers. Thirty-two awards of twenty dollars were made to students who did some kind of regular work for college depart ments. The comment of the Librarian in reference to her four cooperative scholarship holders suggests some of the values of this type Of employment.

Excerpt from Wellesley College Bulletin, Vol. 2: May, 1939 NO possession could be more precious to us. In this delicately finished painting, in its rich jewel-like colors and subtle harmonies, in its interesting composition, we shall have a never failing source of keen esthetic enjoyment. But our joy is enhanced because in this painting we find also the true portrait of Miss Avery. I think Mrs. Kara gheusian will understand our feeling, for the searching study of a personality, the untiring endeavor to express it fully are outstanding characteristics of her work. It is this quest for complete realization which made her destroy the fine miniature she had completed and, starting afresh, pro duce the even finer portrait we have here today.

Excerpt from Wellesley College Bulletin, Vol. 2: Annual Reports President and Treasurer 1915-16 I have the honor to submit my fifth report as President of Wellesley College, covering the year ending June 30, 1916. Much interesting material supplementing this report will be found in the reports of the Dean, the Chairman of the Graduate Committee, the Librarian, and the Director of Halls of Resi dence, published herewith. On March 16, 1916, the Librarian of the College, Henrietta St. Barbe Brooks, died at her home after a long illness. Because of physical disability Miss Brooks at her own suggestion gave only half time to the College during the academic year 1914 - 15. In April, 1915, increasing weakness made it necessary for her to give up her work altogether, and while she gave valuable counsel to the library staff until the time of her death, she was not able to return to the Library after the spring of 1915. Miss Brooks was appointed assistant librarian in 1903, acting librarian in 1909, and upon the death of the librarian, Caroline F. Pierce, she was appointed librarian in 1911. The minute adopted by the Academic Council admirably characterizes Miss Brooks' administration of the Library and is given in full.
