Excerpt from Wellesley College Bulletin: Issue Containing Annual Reports for the Sessions 1936 1937 To the Board of Trustees: I have the honor to present the report of the year 1936-37, the sixty-second session of Wellesley College. The death of Ellen Fitz Pendleton, sixth President of the College, occurred on July 26, 1936, and her going left a permanently unfilled vacancy in the life of the Wellesley which she had served so long. Scores of tributes have been paid to her by friends and colleagues who knew her through the years. Her successor who met her only once welcomes this opportunity to acknowledge a personal debt of gratitude for Miss Pendleton's pervasive influence. Without it, Wellesley would not be the place of intellectual vigor, of organizational efficiency, and of gracious friendliness which a newcomer has found it to be. The accompanying reports record a large number of interesting facts about the year's academic, social, and financial development. It has not been marked by major changes in program or policy. College ofhcers cooperated with the President in her desire to spend the first year becoming acquainted with the existing situation before being asked to consider important changes. The statements of administrative officers accompanying this report reveal the extent to which a vigorous institution flourishes even during a period of intentional "marking time." Changes in Personnel. There have been three withdrawals and four additions to the Board of Trustees. Professor Paul Henry Hanus and Bishop Henry Knox Sherrill found it necessary to offer their resignations which were accepted with great regret. The length of service of Faculty Trustee was limited by vote of the Academic Council to two consecutive terms, so that Mrs. Percy Walden who had served for twelve years was not eligible to reelection. The Board thereby lost a valuable and much respected member. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
