The Sweet Briar Alumnae Association was organized 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. 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 Neivs, published quarterly, brings to the alumnae events of interest on the campus, and those affecting Sweet Briar alumnae directly or indirectly. Each year at Founder ' s 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 hfe of Sweet Briar College. On October 25, 1940, the Manson Memorial Scholarship was awarded to Helen Anne Littleton, of Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, a member of the class of 1941. 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. The students are thus enabled to know the alumnae of their vicinity, and to give former students a new contact with the college and its development. In 1937 at the suggestion of Susan Jelley of the class of 1928, a proposal for the establishment of alumnae representa- tives on admission was put into effect. The purpose of this plan is lo keep all interested alumnae and alumnae clubs well- informed about the academic and community life of the college by means of an especially prepared study course and exami- nation so that they may intelligently and officially represent the college at secondary school functions and thus create and maintain contacts vital to the well-being of the college. Each year the title, alumnae representative on admission, must be confirmed by re-examination.
