Latino Students Celebrate A four-day student conference, hosted by Smith and Mount Holyoke, enabled Latino students attending East Coast colleges to come together to demonstrate their support of the Latino student community and to celebrate their heritage and culture. The annual meeting of the East Coast Chicana/o Student Forum, which dates to a 1972 gathering at Yale University, was held at Smith and Mount Holyoke from November 24 through November 28. Some 150 students from Amherst, Barnard, Dartmouth, Mount Holyoke, Oberlin, Smith, and Wellesley Colleges attended. Participating universities included Brown, Columbia, Georgetown, Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Michigan, and Yale.

In Memoriam Eleanor Greene Smith Rogers '42, former trustee and former Alumnae Association president, died November 12. Her daughter, Eleanor Rogers Johnson '66 is also an alumna. "Eleanor was a wonderful friend of Mount Holyoke," says Sally Lemaire, executive director of the Alumnae Association. "She served as her class president for many years and was active in club activities in every area that she lived." A memorial service will be held at the College at a later date.
