Mount Vernon Seminary Yearbook Cupola 1964

Dedication
MRS. WILLIAM T. CHAPMAN
Two years ago Mount Vernon welcomed a new
member to its faculty. In those two short years this
person has come to be known and loved by her
students both as a teacher and as a friend. For
her qualities of wisdom and understanding we would
like to express our most sincere gratitude to Mrs.
William Chapman.
Before coming to Mount Vernon Mrs. Chapman
received a sound background at Wells College which
prepared her for her present work in Mount Vernon's
English department. After graduating from
Wells where she earned her B.A., Mrs. Chapman
spent three years teaching at Ashley Hall. She is
presently working to obtain her M.A. at George
Washington Universitv.
At Mount Vernon her spirit and enthusiasm ha\e
given her students incentive and pleasure in their
work, ^^'it]l an original, fresh, and unbiased view
on everything ranging from Byron to the Beatles,
Mrs. Chapman will always be remembered for this
very impartialit\' that encourages us to our own
way of thinking. Neither shall we forget the library
conference room where she may so often be found,
always willing to discuss even the slightest problems
of her students. With her devoted interest in
English and its man\' aspects, we must also express
our gratitude for her abilit\' to share this interest
with us and to arouse our own individual thoughts.
Her class has never lacked variety, humor, depth,
or her familiar phrase, "Isn't this fun?"
The \itality of her young and active mind has
endeared her to all her students and added a spice
to learning ^^'hich has made it always a pleasure.
For these reasons we dedicate the 1964 Cupola to
Mrs. \\'illiam Chapman.
