Some years ago it was apparent that the Library, which had been opened in 1939, had outgrown its quarters to the point where it was unable to function as elSciently The book shelves were jammed; the office as it should. 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.

Mr. Jesse's proposals were enthusiastically accepted, and funds for the work were included in the Thompson and legislative appropriation for the college. 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 hardworking crew, moved the entire contents of the library to the empty elementary school building a block away.

CHANGING PATTERNS IN THE HIGHER
WOMEN
EDUCATION OF By Ruth Editor's
Note:
B.
Wilson
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.

Now,
while a great deal is being said about the elementary and secondary levels of education, much expounding has been done on the subject of higher education and its after-effects. And the higher education of women, with which this audience, in particular, should be concerned, has
had
its full
share of attention.
As you know, the education of women, higher or
other-
wise, has been a lively topic for discussion ever since

educated herself at the Tree of Knowledge. In this country the serious business of higher education for women got off to a fair start when Oberlin Collegiate Institute opened its doors to women in 1837. This milestone was followed a few months later by the founding of Mount Holyoke Female Seminary. In 1839 the Farmville Female Seminary Association was incorporated, making the forerunner of Longwood College the fifth oldest educational institution for women that has been in continuous operation in the United States.
mid 1860's both Cornell and Michigan Universities had admitted women, and by 1890 a college education for women was established practice in many of our coedu-

founded by the close of the nineteenth century. However, from the beginning right down to the present there have been arguments for and against the value and/ or necessity of education for women. If I should ask you to place within the correct century the two statements I am about to read, my guess is that you would be way off:

here to stay, and the patterns seem better.
One of the major changes is taking place in the curricula now available to women. Academic disciplines for women once consisted of the "lesser arts", those cultural activities that enabled the daughters of the wealthy to converse in at least two languages, to spatter Shakespearean quotable quotes throughout their conversations, and to know a small amount of history, provided it pointed up the favorable traditions of their part of the country.
As more women sought advanced learning, the men who made all the major decisions regarding woman's place in the affairs of men, decided that women might well become school marms, thus releasing men for work that was more important and that required the advanced knowledge that only men could acquire! Women were also permitted to take up nursing, although it wasn't until recently that at least some college education was deemed necessary for that. Gradually the pattern has changed so that today we find enrolled in every curriculum offered, including

In a recent study made by Dr. John B. Parnsh, professor of economics at the University of Illinois, we are told that "in 1910 forty women received doctorates, in the early twenties the annual number increased to 125, and then jumped to 400 per cent in the mid-thirties. The average per cent increase every five years was 60 per cent. This rate of growth was more rapid than increase in population and in doctorate training for men, which was a little under 50 per cent.

Higher education is essentially tailored to masculine requirements provider, shaper of world events, discoverer, explorer, scientist, astronaut! Only in the past three decades have a sizable number of women attempted, and been permitted, to break through into man's world of higher academic achievement.
—
But the pattern is changing, and the academic disciplines which women are being admitted on both the undergraduare and graduate levels are slowly but surely broadening. Today women are holding their own beside their male peers in the sciences; physical, biological, and social; in the professions; law, medicine, dentistry, and pharmacy; and in other selected disciplines such as engineering, architecture, veterinary medicine, and psychiatry. to
path has been long and at times strewn with insurbarricades, perhaps the fault is largely our own. For years the drop-outs among women in college have been far greater than that of men; fewer women by far even enroll in college nationally 20 per cent of the 18 to 24 year age group in i960, and by the end of the sophomore year between 30 and 40 per cent of these had withdrawn. Early marriages account for many drop-outs but so do lack of motivation and the mistaken idea of so many women that a complete college education is not essential if all they plan to be are "mere housewives and mothers." To rhem, marriage is a culminating goal of the first importance and seldom do they see on the horizon any future problems or anxieties; any need for the ability to become gainfully employed in later years; any relationship between a college education and the ability to be a good wife, mother, and intelligent member of the community.

This presents a disheartening picture since women have demonstrated competence relative to men in every academic area, with the exception of engineering.
According to the Parrish study, at one time or another since 1900, women have accounted for from one-fifth to one-fourth of all top-level degrees in astronomy, anatomy, bacteriology, biochemistry, botany, zoology, anthropology, English and literature, foreign languages, and mathematics. They have earned as high as one-third or more of all doctorates in physiology, fine and applied arts, education, home economics, library science, and psychology. Parrish sums it

Recent studies have revealed that women 40 years and older may be expected to achieve academically proportion to their previous attainment; therefore, many young women today may feel secure in the knowledge that they will be able to complete formal degree programs in the years of their in
middle maturity. 5.
For those who are preparing to be teachets, the need for the future is critical. Estimates indicate "that our public schools will need 200,000 new teachers each year to supply the more than one million teachers needed by 1968-69. At present sex tatios, this

Opportunities for college women to continue an interrupted education and/or to get back into the labor market after their children are in school have never been better. For the sake of herself her family, her community, and her country, no college-bred woman today has the right to withdraw from life and do nothing but attend to the needs of her family, important as these are. She can and should use the education she has received to become an intelligent, functioning member of society, and if that society needs her talents, whether on the labor market or on a worth-while community project, it should have them.

CLASS REUNION
— that wonderful
year that used to be?
Do you remember Longwood with one parlor, double beds with sagging springs, a classroom with an upright piano and a cabinet victrola which doubled as a music room, sorority meetings held in bedrooms, and last but not least the voluminous blue bloomers required for gym class? Remember? Yes, it was that wonderful, wonderful year of 1912. Despite the numerous lounges, the single beds, the grand pianos, the gym shorts, the sorority rooms, and all the other "plushness" found at Longwood today, 1912 was a wonderful year. It mmt have been, judging from the appearance and achievements of the 14 graduates who returned for the 50th reunion of the class.

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 more

still greater conviction now that I have been the long hours which your Association staff
could well be repeated, but with
closely the very hard
work and
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 our students, I cannot stress too strongly the effort which should be exerted by each individual, as well 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 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 that,

fundamentally
Dr. Francis B. Simkins, professor of history and social sciences at Longwood College at the sprmg session of the Institute of Southern Culture.
Speaking on "Higher Education and the Nature of the Southern Woman," Dr. Simkins maintained that, although there were more distinguished women's colleges in the South than there were men's, after graduation from these colleges Southern women find more satisfying activities than those outlined for them in college.
"Domesticity remains the chief obligation of the Southern wife and daughter," Dr. Simkins said. A career, if pursued, for a Southern girl is "nothing more than a hopeful interlude before retiring to the vine and fig tree."
He pointed out that woman's suffrage was imposed on the South by Woodrow Wilson, "an expatriate." It was meekly received without opposition and has made little difference in the political activities of Southern women. Dr. Althea Hottel, former Dean of Women and lectuter sociology at the University of Pennsylvania, in her talk on "Quality Education for the Southern Woman," traced the history of quality education for women in the United States, pointing out how much more excellent education for women is than is education for men. She demonstrated that probably the college of highest education for women in the South is much better than that for men. The South tolerates more liberal education for its girls than for its boys. in

There were approximately 600 persons at the three summer lectures. "The quality of an educational institution is independent of the sex of its student body," Dr. Singletary declared in his talk on "Higher Education in the Traditional Woman's College." Mrs. Eudora Ramsey Richardson of Richmond spoke

Dr. Fletcher M.

This taste of higher education brought about a demand for the same quality of education ofi^ered in the men's colleges and universities.

The better the library and laboratory facilities, the more likely is a college to be able to recruit and keep a good faculty.

three windows in its top. When the student turns a crank, an item of information, along with a question about it, appears in the lefthand window (A). The student writes his answer to the question on a paper strip exposed in another window (B). The student turns the crank again and the correct answer appears at window A. Simultaneously, this action moves the student's answer
under a transparent shield covering window C, so that the student can see, but not change, what he has written. If the answer is correct, the student turns another crank, causing the tape to be notched; the machine wiU by-pass this item when the student goes through the series of questions again. Questions are arranged so that each item builds on previous information the machine has given. Such self-teaching devices have these advantages: Each student can proceed at his ovra pace, whereas classroom lectures must be paced to the "average" student ^too fast for some, too slow for others. "With a machine," comments a University of Rochester psychologist, "the brighter student could go ahead at a very fast pace." The machine makes examinations and testing a rewarding and learning experience, rather than a punishment. If his answer is correct, the student is rewarded with that knowledge instantly; this reinforces his memory of the right information. If the answer is incorrect, the machine provides the correct answer immediately. In large and indiclasses, no teacher can provide such frequent vidual rewards and immediate corrections.

Using the current and the 1970 figures that were cited probably have to carry, on the average, about 2 per cent more of the share of total educational costs than it now carries. Governmental support, although increasing by about a billion dollars, will actually 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.

Loans can be obtained from government and from private bankers. Just last spring, the most ambitious private loan program yet developed was put into operation: United Student Aid Funds, Inc., is the backer, with headquarters at 420 Lexington Avenue, New York 17, N.Y. It is raising sufficient capital to underwrite a reserve fund to endorse $500 milhon worth of long-term, lowinterest bank loans to students. Affihated state committees, established by citizen groups, will act as the direct contact agencies for students.
In the 1957-58 academic year, loans for educational
purposes totaled only $1 15 milhon. Last year they totaled
an estimated $430 million. By comparison, scholarships from all sources last year amounted to only $160 milhon.

WORTHY JOHNSON CRAFTS The alumnae and
administration of any college would do well to cherish the memory of those faculty members who, though retired or resigned, have made inspiring contributions in their services to the institution which employed them. Moreover, it is a compliment to the college when such persons have retained through years of absence their love for the school and their respect for the faculty. Such a happy state of mutual admiration seems to exist
between Longwood and Mrs. Earl Crafts, of Lima, Ohio. Mrs. Crafts, who visited the campus in March I96I, has the distinction of having taught the first college-level home economics course in Virginia. On her visit she derived keen satisfaction in discovering that, since 1907 when she offered this course as an elective, a whole economics department, with many majors, three full-time teachers, well equipped classrooms, and a new home management house has evolved as an important part of the college academic program. But Mrs. Crafts has not confined her admiration to the advancement in her own academic field, nor to the college alone. Desiring to give honor to a co-worker and personal friend whose contributions to the cultural development of the school she regards as particularly worthy of note, she has recently established the Mary Clay Hiner scholar-

THE TRUITTS RETIRE Helen and Dorothy Truitt retired in June, 1962. after a total of 95 years of teaching in the schools of Virginia. They have both received their grateful communities' citations for the lasting contribution they have made to the life of the cities of Suffolk and Norfolk. Helen, elementary supervisor in the Suffolk Schools for the last 23 years, has been honored by parents, teachers, and administrators with teas, dinners, receptions, and handsome gifts. Dorothy, a principal in the Norfolk Schools for 31 years, has been similarly
honored.
The naming of
the
new school "The
Dorothy Truitt Junior High School" is the signal tribute the school board has paid her. Traveling is a hobby the sisters share. Both have visited 47 of the 50 states as well as Canada and Mexico. After retirement they plan to see the other three states and more of the world.

THE BLUE AND WHITE COOKBOOK One of
most important decisions made at the Fall Council meetings, October 5 and 6, was to launch a new alumnae project under consideration since October a year ago; to sponsor the publication of a cookbook compiled by Ruth Gleaves. The attractively prepared volume, to be known as the Blue and White Cookbook, is already in the hands of the printer and will soon be available to Alumnae chapters and individuals who wish to order one by mail. the
Special opportunity will be given at Founders Day for the examination and purchase of these books. Miss Ruth Gleaves, Longwood alumna, former chairman of the Home Economics Department, and for many years Dean of Women at our college, now makes her home in WytheviUe, Virginia. The many students and friends who have known Ruth over the years, recalling many of her delectable dishes, can testify regarding her culinary talents. The following is Miss Gleaves' own e.\planation of how she came to compile her recipes for publication, as explained in her 'Toreword": "The idea of writing a cookbook never entered my mind until some of my close friends began to urge me to compile the extensive list of tested receipts that I have collected from my family and friends over a period of years. Many of these receipts are a result of a long practical experience, as well as a real 'love for cooking' sparked with 'food curi-
