Ferry House

Dakota Kim ’02 has written about Ferry House (“Our House is Bauhaus,” VQ Winter 2006) with such loving care that I hope she will welcome a correction. She explains the closing of the cooperative Palmer House in 1947 with the statement, “...geographically isolated as they were, Palmer students felt a lack of participation in college activities.” By Barbara (Bibs) Muhs Walker '48

Quarterly Design

The Fall 2006 issue of the Quarterly was a pleasure to read because it contained six white pages of text, four that were pale green and one pale gray, and despite the thin typeface, the words on these pages were accessible. No bright, obscuring colors or fancy overlays to strain the eyes! I hope this is the start of a trend. By Eleanor Stoddard ’42

Congratulations

The winter 2006 alumnae/i quarterly is the best you’ve ever published — superb on all counts. By Nancy Smith Breckenridge ’29

Mystery Person

The Vassar Quarterly came today and on page 24 [Winter 2006 Vassar Yesterday] is an unnamed Daisy Chainer. By Jennifer Rodman Dawson ’64

I imagine you have already heard from many graduates about the identity of the young lady on page 24 of the Winter Quarterly. By Henry Albers, professor emeritus of astronomy

In Memoriam: Charles Tamez '95

Charles Tamez ’95 was a great friend and exceptional person. Charles was smart, intensely loyal, and uniquely fun. By Sean Sacks ’95, Adam Sawyer ’95, Eric McGlinchey ’95, and Jonah Shaw ’95

Memories of Vassar's Notable Entertainers

Perhaps he would not be considered an “entertainer,” but I’ll never forget Rudolf Serkin playing in Students’ in the early ’50s. By Helen (Mimi) Mills Allen ’53
