January 2007
Every June for the past 13 years I have had the distinct
pleasure of participating in the annual meeting of the
Wellesley Students’ Aid Society. Held during Reunion
Weekend, the meeting is always low-key. It is organized
and attended by a small but intrepid group of alumnae
volunteers, and invariably includes a riveting talk by a
graduating senior who takes our breath away with her
grace, and poise, and courage. I love the way that annual
gathering reminds everyone assembled of the cycles of
generosity, stewardship, and empowerment that continue
to animate and sustain our alma mater.
I’ve always admired the way the Students’ Aid Society
holds on to its history and carries it forward with purpose into the future. The legacy of
Pauline Durant — the wife of Wellesley’s founder — is palpable at those Society meetings,
and I have learned from them to think of Henry and Pauline Durant as co-founders
of the college. The Students’ Aid Society was very much Pauline’s cause, kept alive
these many years in tribute to her and to her vision of a college that would equally value
the “calico” and the “velvet” girl.
I’m grateful each year for the opportunity to express my appreciation to the hardworking
staff and volunteers who keep the Society alive. Student aid has become big
business as comprehensive fees have grown. Fortunately, Wellesley’s generous donors
have enabled the college to maintain a need-blind admission policy and to meet the full
fi nancial need of all students we admit. As a result of these commitments, more and
more students have come to depend on sizeable college-administered grants and loans
to afford a Wellesley education. More than half of our students cover some or all of their
tuition and fees through the fi nancial aid program administered by the college’s student
fi nancial services department. These professionals are sensitive, thoughtful, and caring in
the way they do their work.
But the Students’ Aid Society is different — smaller and less bound by rules. It has a
personal touch and the fl exibility to reach out to students and help with a great variety
of fi nancial hardships and emergencies as they arise. The testimonials from students
who have been the recipients of this support communicate what an important role the
Society plays, not only with material help when it is most urgently needed, but also with
affection and a connection of unconditional mutuality. It is this connection that inspires
those same recipients to reach out to future students, when they’re in a position to help.
On the occasion of the 90 th anniversary of the Students’ Aid Society I want to express
my deep gratitude to the many donors who have given of their time and their treasure
over many years to keep this effort alive, and to the volunteers and staff who run the
Society so effectively, ensuring that students are treated with warmth, compassion, and
dignity and always with the utmost respect. It is an impressive story — a Wellesley story
— in which we can all take great pride.

“In my own teaching I have tried to keep as closely to the Wellesley ideals as
possible in so far as I have grasped them myself: thoroughness of work, accuracy
in scholarship, tolerance towards divergent opinions, international-mindedness,
a placing of the spiritual always before the material, intellectual curiosity and
a joy in the things of the mind for their own sake and always, always that unremitting
pursuit of goodness and beauty and truth. This, I think is my creed
– and thanks untold to Miss Shackford, Miss Batchelder, Miss Sherwood and
Mrs. Loomis – and Students’ Aid.
No one could point a fi nger of pride toward me and say “Here is a Wellesley girl
who has done us credit” because my career has of very necessity been very quiet
and uneventful, but I shall always know that college brought to me friends of the
best and an awakening of mind and spirit that will make life always a thing of
richness, of fullness, of resources, of steadiness in time of trouble and of joy.”

FROM THE PRESIDENT
As we have reached our 90 th anniversary of
incorporation, it has been a year of transition for
the Wellesley Students’ Aid Society. Our faithful
employees, Gloria DeWitt (offi ce administrator)
and Carol LeBlanc (loan offi cer) retired after 62
years of combined service to the Society and to
Wellesley students. They were the face of Students’
Aid to so many in the College community,
providing warm counsel and reassurance to
countless alumnae. They will be sorely missed.
Thank you, Gloria and Carol.
The Board also wishes to express its sincere appreciation to Diana Chapman
Walsh ’66, who has faithfully attended and movingly spoken at the Society’s
annual meetings throughout her tenure as President of the College. We wish
her great success as she leaves Wellesley – and Students’ Aid – a better place.
Of course, the work of the Society must continue, even as some of our most
ardent supporters have moved on to the next exciting phase of their lives. With
a lot of hard work and an equal amount of luck, the Society’s search committee
(chaired superbly by Janet Sommers Isenberg ’56) found just the right person to
lead our operations into the next ninety years. We are thrilled to announce that
Catherine Kefalas Schedlbauer, Class of 1989, is our new offi ce administrator.
She brings fresh perspective, energy, expertise, and commitment to our mission
of making a Wellesley education possible for every student.
As the old saying goes, nothing is permanent but change. This year has been
the perfect illustration. On the other hand, the needs of Wellesley students have
remained surprisingly constant. An interview suit . . . a computer printer . . .
cash until the fi rst paycheck of the semester arrives. These are just a sampling
of the requests that we have met this year, in addition to our annual pledge
to Wellesley students of loans and grants administered by the College. Your
support will help us to continue to make a difference, one student at a time.
Please join us for our next Annual Meeting on Saturday, June 9, 2007 (during
Reunion weekend) at 1 p.m. in Collins Cinema for an opportunity to hear from
Wellesley students about the impact that your generosity makes in their day-today
lives. Bring your tissues. I always need mine.

Excerpted from the January 1966 Bulletin
A Short History of
THE WELLESLEY STUDENTS’ AID SOCIETY
In the early history of Wellesley College we fi nd in operation that very motto
which we all hold dear—“Non ministrari sed ministrare”. For it was Mrs.
Durant, wife of the Founder of the College, who wove the
spirit of those words into her life and soon discerned
the need to provide fi nancial help for young women
who were eager for higher education but unable
to meet its cost. Appealing to a group of generous
friends Mrs. Durant secured help to enable
promising young women to attend Wellesley
College. The outgrowth of her efforts, started
in this personal way, was the beginning of the
present Students’ Aid Society.
When Mary Caswell became Mr. Durant’s secretary
in 1890 it seems evident that she took over
the confi dential distribution of student aid funds
which came from anonymous givers. Whatever
records Miss Caswell kept are lost forever, burned in
the College Hall fi re of 1914.
By 1914, however, Students’ Aid had achieved some organization and was
receiving contributions in response to appeals to alumnae and undergraduates.
At this time students could apply to Miss Caswell for assistance without making
written statements of need.
An infusion of vitality and a renewed effort in this work came into being with
the election of Mrs. Elva Young Van Winkle (1896) as president of the Society
in 1916. Through her wise stewardship and because of her knowledge of law,
the Society was incorporated. A charter under the Laws of the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts was granted to the Wellesley Students’ Aid Society as
a charitable organization, separate from the College and accountable to the
Commonwealth. The original constitution is in effect today. As a result of
this formal organization many took upon themselves the responsibility of fi -
nancing the new organization. At this time the College had no large resources
of its own for scholarships.
continued on page 7

In 1918, Abbie L. Paige (1896) became president. In her tenure of over twenty
years she was to become truly the “builder” of Students’ Aid, for she pioneered a
type of fi nancial aid program which has since been adopted in nearly all private
colleges. To supplement outright gifts and to stretch the resources of the Society
she created the Revolving Loan Fund, insisting that students who received fi nancial
aid should assume some responsibility for their education by repaying after
graduation a small part of their grants. Until she retired from the Presidency
in 1940 her “life was Wellesley College, the undergraduates she helped and the
multitude of her contemporaries who had responded with gifts and bequests
to her appeals.” Equally devoted and faithful through all this time and years
longer, was the Treasurer Ruby Willis (1909), known and loved by generations
of grateful students.
After the completion in 1950 of the College’s 75th Anniversary Fund and with
the establishment of the Development Fund, some changes took place. Clubs
and Classes (with some notable exceptions) laid less emphasis on Students’
Aid Life Memberships and Memorials for deceased members, and most of the
money raised for scholarship purposes was sent directly to the College. Hence
today there is less familiarity with the Students’ Aid Society among younger
alumnae, unless
as undergraduates
they had need of
its services. Our
Bulletin and Annual
Meeting are
now our principal
media for reaching
the alumnae
body.
An upward step in
the annals of the
Society was taken
during the Presidency
of Mildred 1933 Hoop Rolling
Hunter Brown
(1915). The Directors,
with far-sighted planning, withdrew most of the Permanent Funds from
savings banks and placed them in the hands of the old conservative Boston Trust
Company for sound investment.
continued on page 8

Since 1954 there has been close cooperation between the College and Students’
Aid. Under this “streamlining” of fi nancial aid, resources are pooled and
students are required to make but one application for assistance. Each year
Students’ Aid makes available to the College a designated amount of money for
gifts and loans, and on this the College can count in planning its scholarship
budget.
No recital of facts and fi gures nor any brief history of the Society could give
a total picture of the scope of its work. Some of this you will gather from the
President’s and from students’ letters, some from fi nancial statements, and a
great deal from the imposing list of contributors to whom this Society gave the
means of expressing their desire to help students at Wellesley College. Gifts
from Classes and Wellesley Clubs throughout the country, as well as individual
memberships and contributions, all combined to give early strength to this organization
that has long since passed through its growing period into a vigorous
effective maturity.
The Society has an endowment of money and of spirit. The desire to serve has
been contagious—among board members, students and alumnae. This great asset
of the spirit has created vitality in the Students’ Aid Society that will endure
long after it has celebrated this, the fi ftieth anniversary of its incorporation.
“In an era of thinking of billions, the value of five dollars is likely to be disregarded.
If ever you fall into skepticism, just go away from home, in reality or imagination,
and find yourself with nothing in your purse except the Lincoln penny your brother
gave you for a lucky piece. Then remember that you would die rather than write to
that dear, toilsome, burdened home so soon again for money. And just then a kindly
disposed person lends you five dollars to tide you over.
That is what the timely help of the Students’ Aid Society does for one. The loan
of five dollars means laundry bills, and fees, and dues, and ink, and notebook paper,
and soap, and shoes ‘tapped’. It means stamps and carfare, a war relief pledge,
Pegasus your bicycle repaired, or how are you to make swift connections between your
earnings and your studying? And sometimes it means a book of your own to save
you from constant loss of time and power.
Can you not give at least $5.00 for one such loan?”
October 1919 – First Students’ Aid Report of the Offi cers – a Wellesley Sophomore

The Wellesley Students’ Aid Society provides fi nancial help to all
Wellesley students who need it. An independent corporation, the
Society is directed by alumnae and carries on the tradition of service
to Wellesley College students begun by Pauline Durant over one
hundred years ago.
We continue to be supported by your donations.
HOW DID THE STUDENTS’ AID SOCIETY HELP
WELLESLEY STUDENTS DURING THE 2005-2006
ACADEMIC YEAR?
We gave $230,000 in tuition grants.
We lent $415,000 for tuition.
We provided $49,031 in short-term emergency loans.
We spent $38,500 for textbooks ($100 credit to the College bookstore
for all new students on fi nancial aid); lent English and other foreign
language dictionaries to students who requested them; gave towels,
sheets and blankets to international students receiving fi nancial aid.
We awarded $29,015 in commencement and other gifts.
We provided gently used clothing that has been donated (suits, coats,
hats, boots, gloves, etc.) to students in our unique boutique — the
"Clothes Closet."
“Perhaps the most remarkable fact in connection with Students’ Aid is that the
Wellesley Alumnae without special appeals of any sort have chosen so to present
their Students’ Aid officers with the ‘sinews of war’ that we never have to refuse
any girl whose accomplishment at college is such as to make it seem right that we
should spend Wellesley Alumnae money in keeping her there. Such achievement
as we have is yours. In one way or another you have made it possible for us to fill
every rightful need that has come to us.”

The above fi nancial statement has been prepared on the modifi ed cash basis of accounting. Under the modifi ed cash
basis of accounting, certain revenues and the related assets are recognized when received rather than when earned,
and certain expenses are recognized when paid rather than when the obligation is incurred; consequently, the fi nancial
statement does not include certain assets, liablilities, revenues and expenses. To ensure observance of limitations and
restrictions placed on the use of resouces available to the Society, the accounts are maintained in accordance with fund
accounting principles. Accordingly, resources for various purposes are classifi ed into funds established to refl ect the nature
and purpose. All fi nancial transactions have been recorded and reported by fund group.
The Board of Directors has designated as unrestricted scholarship funds all permanent funds donated to the Society
without restriction on the use of income earned on investment of the principal fund balance. The income earned thereon
is available to unrestricted general funds to assist in funding the operations of the Society.
A provision is made for doubtful loans when they are determined to be uncollectible. The Society has committed
$655,000 for fi nancial aid to students at Wellesley College during the academic year 2006-2007. Of this amount,
$240,000 will be given in the form of scholarships and $415,000 as student loans repayable to the Society.
The above statement of assets, liabilities and net assets arising from cash transactions as of June 30, 2006 has been
derived from the Wellesley Students’ Aid Society, Inc.’s audited fi nancial statements for the year ended June 30, 2006.

“To the wonderful Students’ Aid Society: Thank you for all of your
help this semester! I’ll be working at Stanford – this summer –
thanks to your help! Have a lovely summer.”

The Society charges interest at the rate of 5% on outstanding
tuition loan balances. Interest begins to accrue nine months after
a student leaves the College and is credited to accumulated net
revenues in the loan funds.
“The Students’ Aid Society was kind enough to help me out when I was
at Wellesley, and it has always been my intention to give back. Now
that all my student loans have been paid off, I am finally in a position
to help out.
I wish the absolute best to the incoming class of 2010, and I am happy
to know that if there are students that are stretched to the brink and
beyond financially there is someplace they can go for help.”

January 1966 – Wellesley Students’ Aid Society Report of the Offi cers
Letter from The President of Wellesley College
Dear Mrs. Powell (President of Students’ Aid in 1966):
It is remarkable for its long continuity of important and kind service. I refer to
the Wellesley Students’ Aid Society.
Mr. Durant said he wished “the calico girl”, not “the velvet girl”, at his College.
But, fees had to be raised, and “the calico girl” began to disappear. Mrs. Durant
and young alumnae and friends of Wellesley worked hard in the 1890’s to maintain
here the ideal of opportunity open to worth and ability. For many years
their devoted efforts provided almost the only fi nancial aid available for Wellesley
students. Fifty years ago they created a separate legal corporation (which
is why gifts to Students’ Aid may not be treated as gifts to Wellesley College,
although in terms of our hearts if not the law, of course they are one).
More recently the College moved to increase its
own scholarship funds until today it is the major
source of fi nancial aid to students. Now College
and Society work in close accord to care for young
women at Wellesley, with the Society providing
the warmly personal and prompt help in all sorts
of emergencies which only volunteers can give,
taking charge of the loan program, and sharing a
long history of insights with successive college offi
cers. Wellesley College and Wellesley’s students
need the Students’ Aid Society today as much as
ever in the past.
Looking to the future, I expect all this to continue.
But fi fty years from now new national patterns
may have developed, as they already have in some countries, whereby Government
scholarships will support the higher education of all worthy students.
So I urge that hereafter all of us who establish scholarship and loan funds in the
College or the Society include a safeguarding clause which allows the income to
be used in other ways to advance the education of students at Wellesley, if ever
in the future it is not needed for direct fi nancial aid.
I urge also in this anniversary year expression of our individual and collective
gladness that the Students’ Aid Society was, is and is to be, and of appreciation
to the long succession of alumnae who have given and are giving wise and selfless
leadership to this endeavor.
Sincerely,
Margaret Clapp
