Face to Face With Ellen Fitz Pendleton I President of Wellesley—A Leader in 1 Women’s Educational Affairs I i (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) 1 Wellsely is a word that means 1 much to American women aspiring to higher education, and yet it is not an old school surrounded with tradition, but it seems'to have been born at a time fhen the women of America were coming into their own. Every president of Wellsely has been a leader — and Ellen Fitz Pendleton, president of the Wellselly of today, is a leader in the educational world. A few decades past, Mr. and Mrs. Henry powle Durant, living on their country estate antid the beautiful Wellesley Hills, in the shadow of a great sorrow, their beloved son was taken — a lad of unusual beauty and promise—in his ninth year. From that time the bereaved parents felt there was only one thing to do —tft make his remembrance a fitting memorial. This hundred acres of picturesque upland and meadow was given las a school for women Mrs. Durant | had been engaged in the work of the Young Women’s Christian Association of Bogton. The new institution was born with striking completeness and was dedicated to God and Christianity. ’’Christ first everything.” | was the impassioned watchword of founders. The motto selected was i’’Non Mlnistrari sed ministrare.” Uncompromising in its highest standards in education, to illustrate "feminine purity and delicacy and refinement giving their lustre and their power to the most absolute science.” the Wellesley ideal was born. In 11176. these ideals were somewhat revolutionary, but Wellesley at once became a factor in the education of Am -rican women. Daughters and granddaughters of those first i graduates are awaiting their turn for entrance to Welleslev. When Ellen Utz Pendleton became president she rallied her associates |to the herculean task of raising the great fund required to meet thq de-, mauds made upon the new Wellesley. | Contributions poured in—not by ’ | dollars, but by millions. Far afield I were found Wellesley graduates—teachers Ip schools, women leaders in all part of the world. There is a quiet atmosphere of achievement {generated at Wellesley without the usual arrogam y and caste of educa-

During the World War, this spirit of helpfulness was put to the test and the record overseas of Wellesley girls ‘‘set the watch” and did not let Wellesley tradition fail. Ellen Pendleton Wellesley rise Phoenixlike out of the ashes of buildings burned »into 9 greater Wellesley. Tall and stately, with gray hair and strikingly firm, bit kind features, she bears the distinction of leadership. A native of Westerly. Rhode Island, she graduated from Wellesley College in 1891, and later studied at Newnham College. Cambridge. England. “Beginning as an instructor and associate professor of Mathematics in Wellesley, she became College Secretary and served for nine years as Dean until June. 11*11, when she became President. Miss Pendleton Itelieves in the educated woman, and commented: “I believe that any home is happier with a mother who is able to teacher her children. Even the contact of education is helpful. It is association and ideals in these formative years of a girl's life that count. Other circumstances may disturb the li.'e current, but a woman’s devotion may be just as intense in ideals and education as in matters of the heart and home life.” Miss Pendleton has emphasized the home ideals at Wellesley: ‘'Essentially the age o< women, it is ' important that girls of today should , tie well educated. Women are now an active part of the political life of the nation and an important factor in th« adjustment of economic problems in city, J9WII. state and nation, to say nothing of the broader field of human activities.
