   <mods:abstract>In Part 1 of this interview with Marcella Fagan Hance, she recounts her acceptance
      to Pembroke College in 1940 and her experience as a "day hop" or "city girl." She describes
      the effects of World War II, including rations on food and gas, a social life that included
      few men, the Pratt &amp; Whitney aircraft company's attempts to recruit student workers, and
      the activities of the Sewing Club. Marcella relates stories about dating practices at Brown,
      juggling her studies with paid work, the four-year physical education requirement under
      professor Bessie Rudd, and posture pictures. Part 2 of the interview focuses on the 1940s.
      Marcella describes Pembroke traditions and other aspects of student life, women's desires for
      husbands rather than careers, and the importance of community service. She recalls several
      experiences that made her aware of issues like homosexuality and ethnic and religious
      divisions, and laments Pembroke's merger with the Men's College. In Part 3, Marcella describes
      biology class, "senior sisters," and going to the movies. She compares what she calls "an
      easier way of life" to the challenges of life in 1988, which include an increased pressure to
      succeed and the demands made on families with working mothers.</mods:abstract>
