Donnybrook Fair 1942 - Goucher College

In President Robertson's adntinistration a plan beeante reality
DURING our four years of college life we have known Dr. Robertson
in a multitude of ways. \Ve have known him in chapel as he welcomed
us to Goucher, as he read from Bobby Burns, as he introduced
the new Phi Beta Kappas. \;\1 e have known him at home, at press
conference, at all the college functions. Above all, we have known him
in relation to the new campus.
It is not only that we have seen Dr. Robertson take part in the
ground-breaking, in the ceremony of the steam shovel, and at the ridge
pole raising and that we have caught sight of him every Tuesday afternoon
in conference with the architects. It is not these occasions alone
which make us realize the important role that Dr. Robertson has played
in the unfolding drama of a new and greater Goucher. It is also an
awareness of how long he has dreamed and of how earnestly he has
labored for the building at Towson. It is an appreciation of how he has
helped us to catch his own enthusiasm and awakened us to the adventure
of living through a significant period in Goucher history.
To all of us at Goucher :Mrs. Robertson, too, was important in our
lives. The flowers in the window, the cookies and hot chocolate after
Freshman Serenade, the Christmas tree which bloomed all silver and
white in Goucher Rotunda during the week of first term exams-such
things as these made concrete the spirit of friendliness which Mrs. Robertson
symbolized to us. That spirit was pervasive. It became an integral
part of college life and will therefore endure so long as Goucher lives.
