the time that the author did, I can identify with most of the expose. 99% white with maybe two African-American students. They were trying to fit in but not really. We came to know, respect, and like them on their own terms in the 70s.

Today, Sweet Briar is no longer the preppy, debutante, finishing school. It recruits all over the country, all over the world. Not perfect, but it's evolving.
