Brydon, Anne Page. Diary, 1923

Vassar College

This volume covers September to December of 1923, the start of Brydon's sophomore year at Vassar. In 1923 she vowed to be more reflective in her diary than she was in 1922, but she did cover some of the same topics. Brydon wrote about her daily academic routine, as well as how she spent her free time. She enjoyed socializing with classmates, playing bridge, walking, skating, sledding (coasting), bike riding, tennis, knitting, and cutting class. She attended plays, lectures, sporting events, and "Dark Music" (music played without lights in the Chapel after Sunday Vespers). She also went to Arlington and Poughkeepsie regularly to shop, eat, and attend events. She spent vacations at home in Richmond, Virginia, swimming in the James River, picnicking, and playing tennis and parlor games.
