Excerpt from Meredith College, Quarterly Bulletin: Alumnae Number, 1939-1940 For the cordiality shown me during these first days, I am most grateful - especially as it is indicative not so much of my desert as of your generosity. I esteem it a privilege to be associated with those who love. And serve Meredith College, and trust that we shall strive, intelligently and effectively, to make the institution indeed an Alma Mater to all who live within its hallowed walls. To you who enter Meredith for the first time, I extend the greetings of one who hopes to qualify as a fellow student; who, in a sentiment which he believes appropriate here, with you wishes to behold the beauty of Jehovah, and to inquire in his temple.

Excerpt from Meredith College Bulletin: Alumnae Number 1941-1942; November, 1941 Length of life and abundance of life are quite different; one by no means-implies the other. To Richard Tilman Vann both were granted in full measure. Born November 24, 1851, he lived into his ninetieth year. He was a boy during the Civil War; he grew to manhood dur ing the strenuous days of Reconstruction; in middle age he witnessed the turn of the century; he had almost reached three-score and ten at the end of the first world war. But his age, in itself, was of small significance, least Of all to Dr. Vann. He once commented on the pity it was that there was nothing worth recording in the life of the oldest man in the world's history except its extreme length.

An eye-opening exploration of race in America In this deeply inspiring book, Winona Guo and Priya Vulchi recount their experiences talking to people from all walks of life about race and identity on a cross-country tour of America. Spurred by the realization that they had nearly completed high school without hearing any substantive discussion about racism in school, the two young women deferred college admission for a year to collect first-person accounts of how racism plays out in this country every day--and often in unexpected ways. In Tell Me Who You Are, Guo and Vulchi reveal the lines that separate us based on race or other perceived differences and how telling our stories--and listening deeply to the stories of others--are the first and most crucial steps we can take towards negating racial inequity in our culture. Featuring interviews with over 150 Americans accompanied by their photographs, this intimate toolkit also offers a deep examination of the seeds of racism and strategies for effecting change. This groundbreaking book will inspire readers to join Guo and Vulchi in imagining an America in which we can fully understand and appreciate who we are.
