with the usual custom, the birthday of
Mr.. Henry Fowler Durant, the founder
by exercises in the chapel. The service
will be conducted by DR.. C. Cuthbert

knew Mr.. Durant during his life, has
given q reminiscent talk from their

ways Mr.. Durant would scarcely rec
ognize in the Wellesley College of to-
day the college he founded in 1876, when
the number of students was small
enough for a very close community
life, and he himself knew personally
each girl. But without question: the
growth and development of the college
has far exceeded his expectations.
