Reunion weekend is sponsored by the Wellesley College Alumnae Association, 

but it represents a combined and concerted effort on the part of the Alumnae 

Association and the College. We would like to thank everyone involved in making 

reunion possible—we simply could not host this event without them. Our profound 

gratitude goes to the faculty and staff who have generously given their time to 

enrich the reunion program. In addition, the Alumnae Association is indebted to the 

hundreds of alumnae volunteers who deliver programs and activities with generous 

contributions of their time, talent, leadership, and expertise every year.

Dear Alumna: 

Welcome to reunion! It’s wonderful to have the campus buzzing with so many 

alumnae and friends. I have been looking forward to our time together. 

During my travels across the country, meeting with alumnae, I continually hear about 

your fond memories of our beautiful campus. I hope you’ll agree that the campus is 

as lovely as ever. I encourage you to take some time this weekend to rediscover your 

favorite haunts and to explore some new ones. 

One of the best parts of my job as president is getting the opportunity to meet and 

engage with alumnae—either on the road or here on campus. I have learned how 

exceptionally loyal Wellesley alumnae are to their alma mater, and I’m so pleased 

that you could join us for your reunion this year. Throughout the weekend, I hope 

you will share many stories with me about your time as a student and also your 

experiences since graduating. I always enjoy learning about the ways in which the 

College has—and has not—changed over the years. I look forward to sharing with 

you my thoughts and reflections on the Wellesley of today, and giving you a glimpse 

into the future of your beloved alma mater. 

I hope you enjoy your time on campus, and I look forward to getting to know you a 

little better this weekend. 

Sincerely, 

H. Kim Bottomly

Dear Alumna: 


WELCOME TO REUNION! 

The Alumnae Association’s mission, to connect alumnae to the College and to each 

other, is fully realized at reunion. We are thrilled to welcome you back to campus! 

Whether this reunion is your first or you are celebrating the 80 years since you 

graduated, we hope you reconnect with all that is Wellesley. We have a wide range of 

programs for you: from stimulating faculty lectures to in-depth tours; from yoga to a 

walk (or run!) around the lake; from Stepsinging to a variety of open houses. Whether 

you participate in our programs or simply enjoy the beauty of our campus and deepen 

long-standing friendships, this weekend offers many ways for you to celebrate. 

When you arrive on campus, you’ll notice a few changes. Two years ago, we opened 

the doors of the newly renovated and LEED-certified Diana Chapman Walsh 

Alumnae Hall, a project led by an alumna, Ann Beha ’72. On the east side of campus, 

the Whitin Observatory has been renovated and is sharing the expanded space with 

the Geosciences Department. We hope you have time to visit both of these places. 

In addition, we hope you will notice an expansion of our green initiatives (such as 

the water bottles all attendees receive) as we strive to reduce the carbon footprint of 

reunion. Please join us in these efforts. 

Reunion would not be possible without the hard work, commitment, and enthusiasm 

of your class volunteers. The Alumnae Association Board of Directors and I extend 

our deepest thanks to all these dedicated individuals. I ask that you please thank them 

as well for their dedication to bringing you and your classmates together for this 

special weekend. 

It’s going to be a wonderful weekend, and we look forward to greeting you at the 

Association’s annual meeting in Alumnae Hall on Sunday morning following the 

inspirational Alumnae Parade! 

Sincerely, 

Karen Gentleman ’77, President 

Wellesley College Alumnae Association

FACULTY LECTURE: The Nuclear Challenge 

Nancy Harrison Kolodny ’64, Cohen/Heller Professor of Chemistry 

Always a controversial topic, nuclear energy has become even more so in the light 

of the tsunami and earthquake that damaged the Fukushima-Daichi nuclear power 

station in Japan. This session will discuss the pros and cons of the use of nuclear 

power in our lives. 


FACULTY LECTURE: “Furens quid femina possit:” Stéphanie-Félicité de 

Genlis, Woman Literary Historian, and her Male Critics 

Vicki E. Mistacco, Professor of French 

One of the most important compendia of French women writers of the early 

nineteenth century, Stéphanie-Félicité de Genlis’s On the Influence of Women 

on Literature as Patrons of Letters and as Authors; or, Summary of the History of 

the Most Celebrated French Women (De l’influence des femmes sur la littérature 

comme protectrices des lettres et comme auteurs; ou, Précis de l’histoire des 

femmes françaises les plus célèbres, 1811) was and remains a controversial 

book. It was born of a quarrel with Michaud’s Universal Biography (Biographie 

universelle) to which Genlis had been asked to contribute articles on women 

writers. In her Critical Examination (Examen critique) and elsewhere, she pursued 

her attacks on the authors of the Universal Biography, and they and many other 

male critics reciprocated vehemently in reviews and even entire books. What was 

at stake in this controversy? What prompted one detractor to choose this epigraph 

from Virgil’s Aeneid for his brochure against her book: “Furens quid femina possit” 

(“What a furious woman is able to do”)?

NOTES 


MISSION STATEMENT 

The mission of the Wellesley College Alumnae Association is to further the 

interests of Wellesley College and its alumnae by connecting alumnae to the 

College and to each other, in support of the College’s institutional priorities. The 

Association serves as a lifelong resource to alumnae and encourages alumnae to 

contribute to the continued excellence of the College. 

THE ASSOCIATION’S RELATIONSHIP 

TO THE COLLEGE 

The Association is an independent, self-governing organization created by the 

alumnae of Wellesley College in 1880. It maintains substantial representation on 

the board of trustees of the College, with four alumnae trustees, a young alumnae 

trustee, and the president of the Association, who serves ex officio and with 

vote. On administrative and programming fronts, Association volunteers and staff 

work closely with the Office of Admission, Center for Work and Service, Office for 

Resources, President’s Office, and other College offices. 

In 1952, during the 75th Anniversary Fund campaign, the Alumnae Association 

board and the board of trustees began to rethink the fundraising role of the 

Association. The decision was made to change the Association’s mission, 

and since then, all fundraising for the College has come through the Office for 

Resources. The Alumnae Association and the Office for Resources continue to 

work closely and have a strong partnership as we serve these distinct roles.

2011–2012 ANNUAL REPORT OF PROGRAMS 

PROGRAMS 

A Day to Make a Difference: Hundreds of alumnae around the world took part 

in community-service projects through their clubs and as individuals for our ninth 

annual A Day to Make a Difference which we host in partnership with the Center 

for Work and Service (CWS). This tradition of rededication to our college motto has 

struck a deep chord with alumnae around the globe. 

Alumnae Leadership Council (ALC): ALC annually hosts class, club, and reunion 

volunteers for training and inspiration. In addition, in 2011, ALC was expanded 

to support volunteers from shared interest groups (SIGs). SIGs give alumnae the 

opportunity to connect with each other and the College based on a common 

activity, purpose, background, or interest. Councilors at ALC 2011 learned the 

specifics of their volunteer roles and heard firsthand about current College 

programs, priorities and accomplishments from both students and the College’s 

senior management. 

Faculty Speaker Program: This year, the Alumnae Association sponsored over 50 

faculty speaker programs with our clubs, including six international connections, 

enhancing our alumnae’s lifelong intellectual connection to the College and their 

understanding of life at Wellesley today. 

Reunion: For reunion 2012, we are excited to offer our wonderful faculty lectures 

and tours of campus sites. Over 2,500 alumnae and friends are returning to 

Wellesley to reminisce and be intellectually refreshed. 

AWARDS 

Alumnae Achievement Awards: The 2012 Alumnae Achievement Awards were 

presented to Susan McGee Bailey ’63, champion for gender equity, collaborative 

leader; Wendy Gillespie ’72, early music virtuosa, inspirational teacher; and Mary 

Jeanne Kreek ’58, physician-scientist, pioneer in addiction research, in a ceremony 

held in Diana Chapman Walsh Alumnae Hall before an audience of alumnae, 

students, staff, faculty, and friends. 



2011–2012 ANNUAL REPORT OF SERVICES 

SERVICES 

Admission: Alumnae volunteers supported the admission efforts of the College by 

presenting more than 1,300 book awards to high school juniors and interviewing 

more than 700 prospective students in the fall of 2011. 

Online Services: Check out our website today at www.wellesley.edu/Alum. 

Online services provided by the Alumnae Association include an online directory, 

Discussions, @alum.wellesley.edu email forwarding, Class E-Notes, and more. 

These services offer alumnae a variety of ways in which to share and connect with 

other alumnae virtually. In addition to the community features, the Association 

website also offers opportunities for lifelong learning, lets you browse the profiles 

of the Alumnae Achievement Award recipients, connects you to the online version 

of Wellesley magazine, serves as a resource to thousands of alumnae volunteers, 

connects alumnae to their class and local club sites, and provides information 

about benefits and services for all alumnae. 

Wellesley magazine: Our award-winning alumnae magazine continues to provide 

an exceptional resource to alumnae around the world as it connects us with one 

another and with activities at the College. It is published quarterly and is also 

available online at www.wellesley.edu/magazine. Follow us on Facebook and 

Twitter.

TO ALMA MATER 

Lyrics by: Arranged by: 

Anne Barrett Hughes, Flora Smeallie Ward, 

Class of 1886 Class of 1886 

from the German air The Mountain Maiden 

To Alma Mater, Wellesley’s daughters, 

All together join and sing, 

Thro’ all her wealth of wood and waters, 

Let your happy voices ring 

In ev’ry changing mood we love her, 

Love her tow’rs and woods and lake, 

Oh, changeful sky, bend blue above her! 

Wake, ye birds, your chorus wake! 

We’ll sing her praises now and ever, 

Blessed fount of truth and love, 

Our heart’s devotion, may it never 

Faithless or unworthy prove 

We’ll give our lives and hopes to serve her, 

Humblest, highest, noblest all, 

A stainless name we will preserve her, 

Answer to her ev’ry call
