Scope of Ctzen Responsblty The responsblty ot" a Wellesley College student s understood to apply not only to matters of regulaton prescrbed by Gray Book, such as regstraton, use of lbrary, dormtory quet, and honest performance of academc tasks, but also to all personal conduct affectng good name of College. Oblgaton n Case of Law Infrngement The Wellesley College ctzen who fals to conform to any regulaton of college s requred to report herself as follows: 1. For non-academc breach of conduct. a.

Mrs. Durant lved all year round n house at present known as Guest House. One of her great est pleasures was to take her guests to her beautful conservatory where she would exhbt some rare orchcl after r names. or plant, object of her especal care. The House has seen many festvtes wthn ts walls ncludng tht marrage of two of Mrs. Durant's cousns. College grls were always welcome guests. It was n 1917 that college alumnae jontly ftted up Hous offcal Guest House of college whch t has been for almost 10 years. In answer to queston as to what college wll do for a guest house n future, one learns that ths one had been altered lookng toward Semcentennal Pageant when college would entertan many guests. Now that ths s past need of House wll no longer be felt and future guests wll be dvded between Presdent's New House and her old house. The house that Mss Pendleton now occupes, bult n 1902 by Carolne Hazard, n presdent of college, wll become home of Mss Alce V.

In later years t has been Mss Bates who called poets to Wellesley that students may come nto contact and receve nspraton from Wrter's Frst Memory of Mss Bates Mss Mann relates her frst memory f Mss Bates, whch "s personal and yet characterstc." Mss Mann was sttng n south corrdor on second floor of College Hall hen mad between-classes rush began. Ths was a subject under much crtcsm n Free Presses n College NEWS at tme, n whch people were exhorted, but to no aval, to remember rules of courtesy bee of unpleasantness for members of faculty when jostled by students. The advce of NEWS was havng lttle effect on ths day, Mss Mann asserts, and grls were rushng read her book." Mss Mann at tme was "an gnorant lttle freshman" wth no reason to know that t was Mss Bates walkng re; yet she knew that "no one except a poet could so create her own envronment... It seemed that she was behavng n way a poet should behave, n very way that Karne Lee Bates... would surely behave." Teachng Career Began In 1880 Graduatng from college n 1880, Mss Bates began her career by teachng several months n Natck Hgh School, and later gong to Dana Hall where Msses Eastman were just openng a preparatory school for college. In 1S85 she was called back to college by Mss Freeman wth choce of teachng Englsh or Greek. "Just sx years later though n meantme she had studed at Oxford and had taken an M. A. degree at Wellesley, Mss Bates was advanced to a full professorshp and made head of Englsh Lterature Department." Ths poston she held up to 1920 when ll health forced her to lghten her schedule. Her complete retrement from actve partcpaton n college occurred last June." HELEN H.
