2 THE REUNION HERALD June 3, 2011 Letter from the Editor Belinda Littlefield '11 As the outgoing editor-in-chief of the Herald, I was given the opportunity to work on one final Herald- the Reunion Herald- before I depart from my alma mater. In compiling the Reunion Herald you see before you, I consulted several old issues as well as yearbooks and the Reunion website for ideas about what would interest you. The first thing that struck me was the breadth of ages and experiences attending this weekend's Reunion. Class years from 1955-2014 are represent- ed, encompassing half of one of the most techno- logically revolutionary centuries in human history. Moreover, the last 50 years have been ones of great change for the HWS campus and community, with the addition of more than 23 buildings, a multitude of majors and programming, and nine different presidents of the Colleges. So, where to begin? The Herald, I think, is a good place to start since it gives me an area of commonality with all Reunion attendees. In spite of the changes that have occurred in the world, in our cultural identity and on the HWS campus at large, several things have remained the same at HWS: a sense of com- munity, a commitment to a rigorous liberal arts education and the Herald. With a more than 130-year history, the Herald has stood as witness to all of these changes. • I am not sure how many of you remember the speeches given at your Com- mencement, but since mine was only three short weeks ago, it's still fresh in my mindl. Patrick Corvington, the chief executive officer of the Corporation for National and Community Service, offered this year's 2011 Commencement Address. As part of the lOOth William Smith and 186th Hobart graduating classes, we were asked by Corvington: \Will those who gather here 100 years from now remember your courage and your commitment? Will they recall what you did to bring about a society in which there really is enlightened self-interest, co::npassnon and liberty and justice for all?\ Now, with Reunion here, I look at what all of you have accomplished as community members, volunteers, CEOs, writers, artists, politicians, scientists ani the list goes on. What Corvington asked us to do- to make a choice for change- is not the trite advice given to any graduating class, but a challenge to live up to the bar your generations have set for us.
