was ch osen, in rolling country, not far from Philadelphia, was admirably 
suited to their plan. The campus h as for ev ry one who sees it 
a charm not easily put into words. Th grey stone buildings, for 
the m st part late English Renaissan ce in type, both by their design and 
placiDO', give a un ity of impr ssi li, and make fifty years s em a short 
tim for the campus to h ave grown int su h mellow yet ageless beauty. 
Alumnae of earlier college generati ns, howe er, remember this same 
quality twenty or thirty years ago. New build ings have been added since 
that t ime but they hav fitted harm n iously into the patt rn . For th se 
earlier alumnae th photograph s will be evocativ and will all up the 
college as th ey knew it, yet will help th m t envisage it as it is to~ay.

familiarity. For an y one who is a stranger to the college no \ or scan 
give so true a cone pti n of the .nchantment of light and shadow, of the 
long lines of the buildings, or of the wide, sun,lit spaces f the campus.
