This group of young pioneers also made possible the existence of the Johns Hopkins Medical School. for which they raised the necessary funds but turned them over only when the trustees had agreed to admit women on the same terms as men. The leading efforts of Bryn Mawrs founders were complemented by the humanistic and classical spirit of the schools first headmistress. Edith Hamilton. world renowned author of "The Greek Way." whose quarter century at the school confirmed these traditions there. As one whose immigrant parents taught me the importance of these traditions. I share Miss Hamiltons philosophy which is still reflected today at Bryn Mawr. Through its programs. it fosters the development of the intellect. appreciates the diversity in individuals. and stresses the importance of physical and moral wellbeing.
