Barnard College heralds the inauguration of Rosemary Park as president the first woman to lead a college twice. The editorial praises her scholarship admin skills and early programs while noting her engagement with students and faculty during five months in office and Barnard’s near seventy fifth anniversary.
Dr. Rosemary Park, second Barnard College president, rises through a family of presidents with ties to Wheaton Simmons and Connecticut College. Born in Andover, she earned degrees from Radcliffe and the University of Cologne, later teaching at Wheaton and Connecticut College before becoming Barnard’s official inauguration president.
Miss Park expands her duties in office with speeches at the Alumnae Council and University of Texas Honor's Day. She published Where America Lives Best in Cosmopolitan in January 1963 and received honors from Columbia University Club and Westchester Federation of Women's Club. Media outlets including WOR radio NBC Monitor Beverly Gary in the New York Post and Saturday Review have spotlighted her achievements.
Miss Rosemary Park, inaugurated as Barnard College president, urged expanding creative experience in liberal arts to strengthen the BA degree. She warned against overemphasis on specialization and urged diverse professors to deepen the meaning of knowledge. The ceremony at Riverside Church drew 1800 attendees and delegates from 260 colleges.
Marian Pollett outlines Barnard College’s 75 year history from a bare idea to a top women’s college.
