Welcome to Reunion 2016 – an event 50 years in the making.
This fun-filled weekend has been crafted especially for you, the
Class of 1966. Reunion is always a thrilling time at Lasell, but this year is
particularly significant as we celebrate a new reunion layout in honor of
your 50th reunion. The activities will be exciting, but the real joy is found
in the time spent reliving your time at Lasell.
We would like to thank all of our Reunion Coordinators for their hard
work and support. Without them, Reunion 2016 would not be possible.
Should you have any further comments or questions, please feel free to
ask any staff members present this weekend.
Warmly,

HOUSE
TOURS
CARPENTER HOUSE
Carpenter House, acquired from the estate of Mayor Pickard in 1908,
is named after Caroline A. Carpenter, a beloved faculty member
who taught math at Lasell for 30 years. Carpenter was often left in
charge as the preceptress while Dr. Bragdon was away and was
referred to as “the Queen of Lasell.”
Carpenter House received a full
renovation in the summer of 2013
including an upgraded HVAC
system, new LED lighting and lowflow water systems. Through the
extensive restoration, the house
maintained its original stained
glass, fireplaces and woodwork.
As a result of the renovation, energy and greenhouse gas emissions
have been cut in half. The house is now an all-female dorm that
houses 25 students.
SAUNDERS HOUSE
Saunders House, originally called Converse House, was acquired
in the mid-1900’s. The house was named after the late Helen
Saunders, 1917 graduate and Lasell
College Trustee. It holds 21 students
and is a coveted residence on
campus. There is a piano in the
front parlor, stained glass windows,
glass work in some rooms and two
balconies. The house was built
in 1896 and is modeled after the
Colonial Revival style.
11
GARDNER HOUSE
Gardner House was built in 1883 in the Queen Anne style, an
asymmetrical architectural type. It was originally
constructed by Frederick Johnson, a
prominent leader in Auburndale
at the time of Lasell’s first years.
Gardner House was acquired as
part of the Johnson estate in 1912
and is named after the artist and
1856 graduate Elizabeth Gardner
Bouguereau.
Bouguereau moved to Paris after
studying art at Lasell. While many
studios there would not permit
women to study, Bouguereau disguised herself as a man. Her
diligence was rewarded, as she was the first woman to display
her art in the Paris Salon in 1866 and the first woman awarded
the Salon Medal. Her piece, The Judgment of Paris, still hangs in
Brennan Library. The house has maintained its architecture and
exhibits stained glass, wood work and fireplaces. Gardner now
houses 37 students, mostly freshman.
LASELL
VILLAGE
Lasell Village is an integral part of the Lasell College community,
emphasizing our commitment to lifelong intellectual exploration
through active, intellectually enriched living. Lasell Village is the
first college-affiliated retirement community to feature a formal,
individualized and required continuing education program.
Residents pursue learning through various opportunities, including
participation in educational courses at Lasell Village and Lasell
College, mentoring Lasell students, teaching or tutoring, community
service and more.
