Gladys Stone album from Randolph Macon Women's College
Content Description
Pulitzer Prize and Nobel Prize Winner Pearl Buck graduated from the college in 1914 (as Pearl Sydenstricker with her residence noted as China) -- her name appears in three of the documents in the album. In the program for 1913 Thanksgiving Dinner, where she gives the Alma Mater toast; in the Commencement Program twice (as President of the Franklin Literary Society and under the list of graduates); and in a 1913-1914 list of officers, faculty, and students where next to her name someone (presumably Stone) has written the Greek letters of her sorority, Kappa Delta.
