Dorothy Foster papers, Folder 9

Bryn Mawr College

Folder 9, containing letters written May 2nd 1904 to May 19th 1904, is the final folder of the Dorothy Foster collection. Her letters to her mother cover her last months at college, and the traditions they entail, including May Day, the Junior Senior Supper with the passing of the Loving Cup, and Commencement. Especially notable is Dorothy's breathtaking account of being crowned May Queen on May Day, and the joyous affair that ensues as she and her friends celebrate. the May day celebrated in 1904 was the first to incorporate the tradition of singing from the roof of the newly built Rockefeller Hall. In many senses, this folder contains the culmination of the work Dorothy has put in over her time at Bryn Mawr, completing her final exams and receiving recognition for her efforts in both clubs and the class of 1904 as a whole.
