- Abstract
- In Part 1 of the interview, Elizabeth talks about her family and her upbringing in
rural Texas and how she came to attend Pembroke College. She also discusses her close
relationship with Nancy Duke Lewis (Dean of Pembroke College from 1950 to 1960), the tradition
of chapel, dinner in Andrews Hall, her dislike of the physical education requirement, and her
holiday train trips back to Texas. In Part 2, she talks about the difficulties she had
assimilating at Pembroke as a rural Texan, the freshman speech class requirement, President
Henry Merritt Wriston's advice to the Pembroke senior class, and her thoughts on the effect of
the Pembroke-Brown merger on Pembroke traditions.
