Its purpose is to further the well-being of the College, its graduates and former students, by increasing the interests of its members in the College and in each other. This aim is well fulfilled in that the Alumnae Association is a real link in the chain of Sweet Briar tradition, binding together those who have been a part of the College in the past and those who now study here in the bond ol common effort toward one ideal. On December 28 each year seventy-eight Sweet Briar Clubs in the United States and fourteen Asso- ciations in foreign countries celebrate Sweet Briar Day. These groups gather to discuss the Sweet Briar of the past, the present and the future. Also in connection with the Association is the presentation of the Manson Memorial Scholarship in memory of Mr. N. C. Manson, a member of the first Board of Directors. The award is made annually to a Sweet Briar student in recognition of academic excellence and extra-curricular leadership. The recipient of the scholarship this year was Ann Nivison Bradford Parks, of Lynnhaven. Virginia.
