Excerpt from Annual Reports Number of the Wellesley College Bulletin, Vol. 39: September, 1949

Of Aristophanes' Frogs by the Greek department have all enlarged the world in which twentieth-century American under graduates live. The many Off-campus contacts Of members Of the French, Spanish, and Italian departments further relate the College to the foreign-language groups here and abroad.

Encouragement to foreign graduate students was given by the action instituting a Certificate in American Studies available for graduates Of foreign universities who cannot spend two years to acquire a master's degree but would like some evidence Of accomplishment for a year's study. Furthermore it is believed that a course to introduce foreign guests to American culture may be more profitable for visitors than one devoted to academic disciplines which might be pursued in any country and perhaps better in a graduate school Of a university.

Undergraduates have contributed to the enrichment Of the College by giving part Of their gift to the 75th Anniversary Fund in the form Of scholarships for two displaced students from Europe. They assumed responsibility not only for the expenses (over and above tuition which was waived by the trustees) but will make necessary provision for vacation travel and entertain ment for the two young women who will enter next fall.

This pre-anniversary year has been a good one for taking stock on a number Of matters. A special committee Of the Academic Council has been working on the formulation Of long term policies in connection with admission. Its work Of this year was largely an analysis Of present practice, resulting in a summary statement Of present practice which was adopted by the Academic Council as a basis for further deliberations.
