...evening last December five girls were skipping arm in arm down a country road singing "Yellow submarine" at the top of their lungs. They wore knee socks and ski parkas and could have passed for happy camp-fire girls. Actually, they were Wellesley sophomores travelling from the library to the dining hall. An unofficial count revealed that 29 per cent of all Wellesley girls wear knee socks during the week...
...Wellesley College was founded in 1870 by Henry Fowle Durant as a Christian college dedicated to "the glorification of God through the higher education of women." It is located on a peaceful clump of green field that looks like ten or twelve Harvard Yards thrown together. There are no men around except for a few janitors and stray faculty.

...Salvation Army has been almost as fortunate. The army, through a gift, owns a small share of the royalties, which have steadily increased as Listerine remained dominant in the rapidly expanding U.S. mouthwash market. Other small amounts are held, and income is gained, by Wellesley College and the American Bible Society...
