I've been lax in not mentioning the death of Ms. Hepburn sooner. A mythical figure to all of us who went to Bryn Mawr, Hepburn graduated in 1928 and gave the commencement address in 1985, where she said, ""Bryn Mawr isn't plastic, it isn't nylon, it's pure gold... I came here by the skin of my teeth; I got in, and by the skin of my teeth I stayed. But I stayed and it was the best thing I ever did..."
Her amazing career has been well-documented in articles and obituaries, and I am so proud to be able to say we went to the same college. She loomed over all of us as not just our most famous alumna, but as one of the most dynamic women of the 20th century, and the earth is now a little different without her living on it.
