From the Alumnae Association President Dear Sweet Briar Alumna, Thank you for purchasing the Sweet Briar College Alumnae Directory. We hope that you will find it helpful in keeping in touch with classmates and friends. At the back of the book is a new listing denoting alumnae by occupational classifications. This should make it easier for you to be in touch with other Sweet Briar alumnae who are engaged in your sphere of interest. Being involved as an active alumna is an excellent way to be of service to the College. Our Association aids in the recruitment of qualified students, raises scholarship monies, supports the Annual Fund and underwrites numerous cultural events on campus, such as Winter Forums. Reunions, club events and travel programs provide not only a time to socialize but frequently also are an opportunity to learn about an academic area in depth through a lecture, exhibit or special presentation. Please do come back to "The Patch" and stop in at our new home at Boxwood. The wonderful staff is ready to welcome you and provide information and assistance. Plan to tour our fascinating museum with memorabilia of Daisy, the Fletchers and many decades of Sweet Briar memories. And as you revisit favorite nooks and crannies of our beautiful campus and the elegant buildings designed by Ralph Adams Cram, do take pride in the fact that Sweet Briar has recently been named a National Historic District. With best wishes to you all, Nancy Hudler Keuffel'62 President, Alumnae Association VI { Sweet Briar College Academic Program One of the country's most distinguished small, independent women's colleges, Sweet Briar offers the A.B. degree in 40 major fields and the B.S. in Biology, Chemistry, Mathematical Sciences, Physics, or Psychology.
