The Ten Ideals The Ten Ideals originated in 1921 when Dr. Werrett Wallace Charters and President James Madison Wood sought the development of a new curriculum. Each year, 10 students whose activities represent the overall ideals of Stephens College were selected as personifications of individual Ideals. A practice abandoned in 1968, it was re-established in 1983 by Dean of Students Martha Wisbey and a group of Stephens students. Belief...Suhey Campos Courage... Elizabeth Lee Creativity...
