   <mods:abstract>Zelda Fisher Gourse starts by describing her decision to enter Pembroke,  Dean
      Margaret Shove Morriss, and her favorite professors.  She and the interviewer discuss travel
      in Israel and Ms. Gourse's daughter, author Leslie Gourse; annual student events like
      Sophomore Masque and Junior Prom; her older sister's decision to return to college; being
      elected SGA President ("why not a Jewish girl?"); and other campus activities.  Gourse then
      describes her marriage and her career as a librarian at Bristol Community College. She ends
      the interview with an account of the Elizabethan club and the Erasmians. Note: The interviewer
      indicates that the tape failed to capture the final 10 minutes of the
      interview</mods:abstract>
