   <mods:abstract>This interview begins with descriptions of Virginia's childhood and family in
      Pawtucket, Rhode Island. She recalls her years at Pembroke College, in particular: her role on
      the Pembroke Record staff and as President of the Student Government Association; life as a
      commuter student; attending college during the Depression; interactions with Brown faculty
      members; and student activities, including formal dances, Ivy Day and Scut Week. Virginia also
      discusses working at the John Hay Library after college; her job as a business reference
      librarian at the Providence Public Library; marriage, motherhood, and returning to full time
      work. In Part 2, Virginia briefly discusses her desire to live on campus while at Pembroke and
      the pleasant atmosphere of the dorms. She also discusses the changing campus attitudes that
      she saw while working at Brown during the 1960s, the rise of coeducation, and the benefits of
      having a women's center at Brown today.</mods:abstract>
