For her boundless energy . . . for her alertness to campus problems . . . for her staunch support of democratic ideals applied to all phases of daily living . . . Dr. Martha Lucas has earned Sweet Briar ' s profound admiration. A scholar of the first rank, she is endowed with an intellect as vigor- ous as her stride . . . insight as penetrating as her glance . . . and wit as fresh as her laughter. With appreciation and affection, we dedicate to her the Briar Patch of nineteen hundred and fortv-seven. Easter Egg Hunt aSU . alii oL Oouu jJaXsUu InAL ' (.URA HON, NOVIMBIR 1, 1946 A MARTHA B.
