Reasons to Celebrate Smith

We restore the places that hold our stories.

Clara Taplin Rankin ’38 wore her graduation gown to the 1938 dedication of the Alumnae House, a Georgian and neoclassical building on Elm Street that for the past 87 years has welcomed generations of returning Smithies. “Alumnae House looked so beautiful,” Rankin recalled in an essay for the Quarterly. “It fit in so well architecturally.” A top-to-bottom renovation completed in 2023 restored the building’s elegant exterior while updating it with energy-efficient systems and a new Welcome Center for meetings, teas, and other Smithie magic.
