[Oxford63] OUR ENDOWMENT NEWS

[CDonnell312 at aol.com]

HI EVERYONE.   I HAVE NEWS ABOUT THE CLASS OF '63 ENDOWMENT FUND SCHOLARSHIP 
RECIPIENTS FOR 2006! I HAVE SPOKEN WITH BOTH THE DEVELOPMENT DEPT (SUE DANA) 
AND THE ART DEPT (PAT ROSOFF) ABOUT THEIR APPLICANTS AND,-SOMETHING NEW THIS 
YEAR,-- I RECEIVED WONDERFUL LETTERS FROM BOTH THE PEOPLE WHO WERE CHOSEN.

     THIS YEAR TWO GIRLS WILL SPLIT THE SCHOLARSHIP PROCEEDS.   MELISSA 
CHASE'07 WILL COME IN JUNE   FOR 3 WEEKS TO CHICAGO,   AS OUR BOY PATRICK CRONIN 
DID LAST YEAR, FOR A SUMMER COURSE AT THE SCHOOL OF THE ART INSTITUTE, IN THEIR “
EARLY COLLEGE PROGRAM” [ECP} SUMMER INSTITUTE 2006. SHE ELECTED TO TAKE THE “
ADVANCED PROJECTS COURSE” INVOLVING MANY MEDIA. SHE WILL BE ACCOMPANIED N THE 
PLANE BY PAT ROSOFF AND HER HUSBAND FOR REGISTRATION, BUT THEN   IT IS “HANDS 
OFF” FOR THE DURATION OF THE COURSE -WHICH IS INTENSE.

     IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE AN EXAMPLE OF PAT CRONIN'S WORK IN FIGURE 
DRAWING FROM LAST YEAR, GO   TO:http://www.artic.edu/webspaces/ecpexhibit/   AND 
FIND HIS NAME.
BY THE WAY, I HAVE HEARD THAT PAT WAS ACCEPTED TO SKIDMORE COLLEGE, BUT I 
DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS HIS FINAL CHOICE.

     THE SECOND GIRL CHOSEN FOR THE SCHOLARSHIP IS DIANA TOUBMAN, A JUNIOR 
CURRENTLY.   SHE IS GOING TO FRANCE IN THE SUMMER!   K-O HAS INSTITUTED A “JUNE 
TERM” IN LACOSTE, FRANCE, AND OTHERS IN ENGLAND, IRELAND, CHINA, COSTA RICA, 
AND ITALY, ALL ACCOMPANIED BY TEACHERS FROM THE SCHOOL. LACOSTE   IS IN   RURAL 
PROVENCE. [WOW, WHAT AN OPPORTUNITY!] THIS DESCRIPTION OF THE FRANCE TRIP IS 
FROM THE K-O WEBSITE: This 2-week trip is open to all Upper School students, 
with preference given to students currently in Forms 3-5. Faculty will include 
Mrs. Rosoff, Mrs. Hansen, and Mr. Tuthill. Students will live at the Savannah 
College of Art and Design's campus in Lacoste, France, a beautiful little 
medieval village at the foot of a hill occupied infamously by the castle of the 
Marquis de Sade.
DIANA WILL   PURSUE DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY, ONE OF THE SPECIALTIES OF THE 
FACULTY AT THE SAVANNAH COLLEGE OF ART.

I HOPE YOU ALL ARE WELL, AND THAT YOU ARE IMPRESSED ABOUT WHAT YOUR SPECIAL 
GIFT IS ACCOMPLISHING! I AM....

LOVE, COURTNEY
