      struggling early on with Meniere's syndrome; campus rules &amp; requirements; clothing
      standards and restrictions with alcohol and smoking; access to the Brown campus; she gives her
      opinions of several professors. She discusses being deeply affected by the Great Depression
      and cooking all her meals in the science labs. She speaks of being discriminated against as a

      60. She discusses going to live theater downtown Providence, and hearing Amelia Earhart speak
      at Pembroke Chapel as well as hearing Pablo Casal play at Brown. Later in life she married
