wife, went from Princeton Univer-

American University at Beirut. Mrs.

Home Furnishings Unusual
The fascinating furnishings of the
Willett home reflect Mrs. Willett's
unusual background. There is prac-
tically nothing on the lower floor
that hasn't special history. There
are old rosewood pieces of furni-
ture from her mothers family that
stood the long journey out to Syria
and back again Significant among
these is her mothers organ. With
the other pieces in this group it re-
fleets the courageous spirit OF a
missionary mother who, in alien sur
roundings, maintained an oasis Of
United States culture as a part of
the heritage of her children, even
though they were being reared in a
foreign land.
In dramatic contrast are such col
lector's items as colorful, hand-em-
broidered Syrian screens, their
frames of ancient olive wood fash
ioned centuries ago. OF particular
interest is. an ecclesiastical plaque
that is in reality a museum piece.
In hand-wrought gold and silver in
lay and bas relief it represents the
II tribes of Israel.
Under special teachers until she
was 10, Mrs. Willett was sent to
Mount Vernon Seminary when 13
years old. The school was at the
then most fashionable location of M
street NV. near Tenth street. Heer
began for her the marvellous ex-
perience of being part of an Amer
lean educational institution. When
her husband became director Of the
Washington Community Chest, he
took over as his office the very room
she occupied at 1101 M street when

Sought to Repay Her Debt.
The influence of the seminary
upon the formation of her ideals of
government and good citizenship,
Mrs. Willet felt 1t was her duty to
repay this educational debt II she
could.
During the war the opportunity
came. Her first meeting with her
fellow trustees came on the mo-
mentous day the Navy called upon
the school to surrender its COM
modious buildings and grounds for
its needs.
Since then she has been one Of
| that devoted and -yisioned, ad-
ministrative group which has seen
the school through every phase OF
its temporary locations in Spring
Valley to the selection OF its new
home on Foxhall road. Here also
will be housed the schools ac-
credited junior college.
"The schools present capacity en-
rollment, the largest in its history,

expansion policy, Mrs. Willett en-
phasized.
Mrs. Willett and her husband met
