“The Santa Clara Lady”
“She is young, she is attractive and well groomed. She is refined. She is above average in intelligence. The lengthy academic honor roll evidences her academic achievement. She knows how to get things done. She realizes that wisdom is knowing what to do; skill is knowing how to do it; but virtue is in doing it.
“She loves her school. She is enthusiastic about her loyalty and desire to distinguish herself as a woman. She hopes to make herself a positive force for good.”
The Santa Clara Woman Student Handbook, 1967
