At Wellesley
Grave in her ceremonial robes, Miss Ellen Fitz Pendleton, President of Wellesley College (Wellesley, Mass.), walked between the long double ranks of white-gowned Wellesley freshmen. It was Founders Day and a great anniversary because its number was 50. Behind President Pendleton walked other college presidents almost as numerous as the years they were celebrating--43. Speeches, honorary degrees, a semicentennial address by Dr. Angell of Yale on the increased obligation of U. S. educators to rear men and women for "social progress." In Memorial Chapel, a tinted window was dedicated to "The Founders" and "their beloved son," for the late Mr. and Mrs. Henry Fowle Durant of Boston once specified that their names must not appear on any memorials to them that Wellesley might see fit to erect.
