Book Description

Excerpt from Annual Reports, President and Treasurer, 1911, Vol. 2: Wellesley, Massachusetts, March, 1912 To the Board of Trustees of Wellesley College: - I have the honor to present a report for the year closing November 1, 1911. During the greater part of the year under review the College was without a President, and was by vote of the Trustees in charge of the Dean. Whenever in the history of the College an emergency has arisen, the Academic Council of the Faculty has always ably met the situation, and throughout the past year the co-operation of the Council with the Dean has been genuine and hearty. During the year the Trustees have amended the statutes so as to provide for a fourth stated meeting of the Board. By this amendment the stated meetings will occur the second Friday of November, January and June, and the third Friday of March. It is the intention to present the budget for the following year at the March meeting. During the year on petition of the Trustees the Legislature of Massachusetts authorized the College to increase from five to ten million dollars the amount of property it might hold free from taxation. In her last report President Hazard referred to the Sophie Jewett Memorial Library which was to be established in College Hall. This library is now actually in place, and has already shown its usefulness. The former students and friends of Anne Eugenia Morgan, Professor of Philosophy, 1877-1900, asked permission to found a library in her memory, and thus another alcove in College Hall Library is dedicated to this purpose. This emphasizes anew the use which is made of the old College Hall Library as a study hall for students not resident in College Hall. During the working hours of the day every seat is occupied, and the librarian reports that the assistant in charge has applied for more chairs.
