Sr. Margaret among those honoring Houghton College President
 During a meeting of the Five-College Committee, Houghton College President Daniel R. Chamberlain was honored for his 30 years of service and his upcoming retirement with a special surprise presentation.
St. Bonaventure University President Sr. Margaret Carney, O.S.F., S.T.D., Alfred University President Charles Edmondson, Alfred State College President Uma Gupta and Dean of the Olean campus of Jamestown Community College Larry Sorokes presented Chamberlain with an orchid painting entitled “Paphiopedilum rothschildianum” by local artist Carol Woodin.
In her presentation, Sr. Margaret read part of the artist’s statement in which Woodin says “at first glance botanical painting can seem to be somewhat anachronistic; it is a painstakingly slow process requiring absolute attention to minute details. The art form opens a window into a no longer common way of doing things, and coaxes us into slowing down and really seeing.”
Sr. Margaret commented that the artist's philosophy mirrors that of Dr. Chamberlain.
Chamberlain thanked the Five-College Committee for their service together and for being able to “draw strength from life around us.” He continued to comment that it was “a joy to see us work together, to respect each other and to have a cooperative spirit in the best interest of higher education.”
Paphiopedilum rothschildianum, introduced into cultivation in 1887, is widely agreed to be the most spectacular orchid in the genus. It is known to occur in the wild only in Borneo, and has a very limited range. Woodin's rendition of this beautiful species has been painstakingly printed at the Stinehour Press of Vermont using a vintage Heidelburg press, and each print has been individually hand embellished by the artist in watercolors. The edition is printed on 100% rag Rising Gallery paper, and is limited to 250 pencil signed and numbered impressions and 10 artist's proofs.
