With the razing of the two-story Millicent Carey McIntosh Center to make way for the sixstory and much needed Diana Center, many alumnae felt it was important to find a way to share the legacy of “Mrs. Mac’s” extraordinary vision and leadership with past, present, and future generations. Alumnae who were students during the years of her celebrated tenure, first as dean of the College from 1947–1952 then as the first Barnard College president from 1952– 1962, were invited to share their personal stories of her critical impact on their lives both on-campus and off. Thus was born the Millicent Carey McIntosh Initiative. Organized by members of the Class of ’55 in association with Alumnae Affairs, these personal stories are an invaluable addition to her legacy. Not only did Mrs. Mac impact many lives, she set a course for Barnard that remains vibrant and relevant today. The compilation of stories will be available for purchase in the Barnard Store during Reunion, and will be posted online this summer. A limited number of books will be printed. To reserve your personal copy, please contact alumnaeaffairs@barnard.edu or call 212.854.2005. —Florence Federman Mann ’55 Saturday, June 4, 2011
Millicent Carey McIntosh Terrace dedication ceremony
Just outside The Diana Center and across from Altschul Hall, a new campus landmark will be dedicated this June: The Millicent Carey McIntosh Terrace. In honor of this new space, gifts from alumnae in all classes during her tenure were made to celebrate the influence “Mrs. Mac” had on their lives. We look forward to celebrating the dedication of the Millicent Carey McIntosh Terrace during Reunion. Please join us in honoring her legacy on Saturday, June 4. For more information, or to register for Reunion, please contact Alumnae Affairs at 212.854.2005 or visit alum.barnard.edu/Reunion2011. 36
