1969/2021
More than 50 years ago, the Bulletin dedicated its pages to the Black experience at Bryn Mawr.
“The Alumnae Bulletin believes its purpose is to keep its readers informed about Bryn Mawr College, its alumnae affairs and activities. The College is a complex community and its alumnae number about 10,000. This issue of the Bulletin departs from the usual pattern of offering a variety of subject matter; instead the issue focuses on one topic—Black students and Bryn Mawr. Our material has come from recent Black alumnae, members of the administration and faculty, and Black students now on campus. We have also included brief reports from campus organizations which reflect changes affecting everyone at Bryn Mawr.” — Editor's Note, Spring 1969 Alumnae Bulletin
