The Sweet Briar Alumnae Association was organized to further the well-being of the college, its graduates and former students, by increasing the interest 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 today. The Alumnae News, published quarterly, brings to the alumnae events of interest on the campus, and those affecting Sweet Briar alumnae directly or indirectly. Believing that it is a privilege to have a share in the dynamic business of education and in perpetuatmg the finest traditions of Sweet Briar, the alumnae have organized an Alumnae Fund to which voluntary contributions are made each year. The proceeds from this fund are presented to the college at the end of the academic year. Each year at Commencement, as a memorial to a man who served Sweet Briar first as a legal advisor and later as chairman of its board of directors, the Alumnae Association gives the Manson Memorial Scholarship to an upper- classman, who, in addition to distinguishing herself in the academic field, has shown qualities which make here a real leader and contributor to the life of Sweet Briar College. On June 9, 1942, the Manson Memorial Scholarship was awarded to Miss Page Ruth of Baltimore, Maryland, a member of the Class of 1943. 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, 1928, a proposal for the establishment of alumnae representatives on admission was put into effect. The purpose of this plan is to keep all interested alumnae and alumnae clubs well- informed about the academic and community life of the college by means of an especially prepared course and exami- nation so that they may intelligently and officially represent the colleges at secondary school functions and thus create and maintain contacts vital to the well-being of the college. Each year the title, a lumnae representative on admission, must be confirmed by re-exammation. Spanl? To Mil S. Ai Spafe To p Rel Thr t, c veil i 1 to Wcl j ' fa riel Abi ;K Jone.s, lf£ ' aker.
