As a group the Alumnae Association has been active in keeping up the contacts between those who were Sweet Briar and those who are Sweet Briar of today. The Alumnae Nexvs brings to the alumnae events of interest on the campus, or those affecting Sweet Briar alumnae directly or indirectly. Each year at Founders ' Day, as a memorial to a man who served Sweet Briar first as legal advisor and later as chair- man of its board of directors, the Alumnae Association gives the Manson Memorial Scholarship to an upperclassman, who in addition to distinguishing herself in the academic fields, has shown qualities which make her a real leader and contributor to the life of Sweet Briar College. On October 27, 1939, the Manson Memorial Scholarship was awarded to Elizabeth Duke Lee of Wusih, China, a member of the class of 1 940. Sweet Briar Day, held during the Christmas season on December 28th, brings the alumnae together in their many alumnae clubs and groups with students now attending Sweet Briar. 1 he students are thus enabled to know the alumnae of their vicinity, and to Bi e former students a new contact with the college and its development.
