Excerpt from The Alumnae News, Vol. 26: July, 1937 It might perhaps be truthfully said that only the members of the Alumnae House Building Committee, who inevi tably put forth the greatest eflort to make possible the dedication of the House free from debt on June 5, could fully appreciate what a high moment was reached in alumnae history, when the match was struck to the note by Dr. Poust, during the presentation of the House by the Chairman of the Alumnae -house Building Committee, Mrs. Tomlinson. But there were many alumnae in the audience, many alumnae back home who could not be here, whose hearts entered into that moment of the flaming match with an upward beat almost as jubilant, if not quite, as those whose privilege it had been to guide the project to-its successful completion. In the book of our affection and remem brance, their names are written large and bright. Back of the moment of the flaming match, lies a struggle that needs to be dramatized. We hope that it will be dramatized as soon as there has been time for a bit of surcease from labor, and for perspective. 'the building of the Alumnae House constitutes, not an episode, but almost an era in the his tory of this College.
