Scope and Content

Correspondence sent to Ward-Belmont alumnae from Mai Flournoy Van Deren, Executive Secretary of the Alumnae Association. The letter featured a color photo of the Center Fountain on Ward-Belmont's campus. Van Deren informs alumnae of a recent change in school leadership (the resignation of Mr. Andrew Bell Benedict as president and the choice of his successor, Dr. Joseph E. Burk) and requests that they fill out and return an enclosed Alumnae Information Card and pay alumnae dues of $1.00 in order to become an active member of the Alumnae Association. Members received four issues of the Alumnae Journal throughout the year.

Context

This document belonged to Dorothy "Dottie" Love Elliott, originally from Lexington, Kentucky (born approximately 1918), who attended Ward-Belmont during the 1935-36 and 1936-37 school years. While there, she was a member of the F.F. social club, serving as its Sergeant-at-Arms 1936-37. She earned her General Diploma and Expression Diploma in 1937. Elliott went on to marry Edwin Rhodes McClelland and had three sons.
