   <mods:abstract>In Part 1 of this interview, Hope Ballinger Brown discusses her upbringing and how
      she came to attend Pembroke to study nursing; popular social spots, including the Avon
      Theatre; her volunteer experience; interactions between Brown and Pembroke students; the
      abbreviated academic year schedule due to World War II; the expectation of women to marry soon
      after college; her admiration of Dean Morriss and Bessie Rudd; her opinions on the
      Pembroke-Brown merger; and her experiences with classes and student groups. In Part 2, she
      discusses her nursing career; her involvement in alumni activities; the lack of academic
      guidance she received during college; and how her experience at Pembroke would have been
      different had she lived on campus rather than being a "city girl."</mods:abstract>
