Alumnae Desk
The pages of this archive keep what the alumnae association gathered about Ladycliff College and the women who studied there. The Alumnae Desk is where the people who keep the archive write about that material: how to turn remembered years into writing, why so many graduates went back to study later, and what the campus itself meant.

What the Ladycliff guestbook and journal say about alumnae who finished degrees elsewhere, married students, teaching careers and adults returning to college.
