She was introduced as the successor to Mrs. Hollis G. Gerrish at a traditional Alumnae Day luncheon, held in Memorial Hall. The luncheon was attended by 700 alumnae and graduate students and seniors who will receive degrees at Radcliffe Commencement tomorrow.

Two Radcliffe alumnae received special awards at the luncheon meeting. A Graduate Chapter medal went to Eleanor Lansing Dulles, special assistant to the director of German economic affairs in the State Department, Mrs. Dulles won both a master's degree and a Ph.D. from Radcliffe.

Mrs. S. Burt Wolbach of Sudbury, Mass., was awarded the Alumnae Achievement Award as the "alumna who by the quality of her life and spirit exemplifies what the liberal arts education hopes to achieve." She has served on Radcliffe governing boards since 1911 and is a board member of the Permanent Charity Committee of Boston.

Mrs. Wolbach is the second graduate to receive the award. It was first presented last year--to Helen Keller '04, who will reportedly become the first woman recipient of a Harvard honorary degree, Thursday.

According to a report made at the meeting by Mrs. Hyman B. Ullian, chairman of the alumnae fund, Radcliffe graduates have given $270,000 in the past two years for the $2,000,000 Graduate Quadrangle, begun last month.
