   <mods:abstract>This interview concentrates on Lillian's family life and her experiences as a
      commuter student. She explains that her parents expected her to live at home while she
      attended Pembroke, and she describes her days on campus  as "an outsider." She reminisces
      about life-long friendships with other city girls (they had celebrated their 30th reunion
      together shortly before this interview). Lillian discusses Brown's fraternities and the
      changes that have taken place to the campus with the interviewer, Michael Gates '91. This
      leads to a conversation about her Armenian parents, their history, language, and behavioral
      expectations, and also about the interviewer's Polish family. Lillian participated in
      International Club and volunteered at Nickerson House. She recounts her early teaching career,
      meeting her husband through the Armenian community, choosing to stay at home with her
      children, and returning to teaching in 1979 as a substitute. She and Michael end the interview
      by addressing three topics: the rigor of their college experience, minority students, and,
      finally, Lillian's daughter's impression of Brown as she awaited acceptance.</mods:abstract>
