ABSTRACT
Alumnae Association workers were more likely to have reported alumnae/i relatives and they were more likely also to have recalled undergraduate participation in Self-Government, Undergrad, drama groups, athletics, class office, musical or literary activities, or graduate affiliation in graduate school organizations. Almost three fourths of the alumnae/i in groups before 1941 reported affiliation with a Protestant church. Alumnae/i differed too in respect to political allegiance. The contrast was most dramatic between these older, strongly Republican groups and overwhelmingly Democrat and independent alumnae/i after 1960. The younger groups’ interest in handicrafts of all kinds was less predictable; over 25% of responding alumnae/i 1951–1970 said they enjoyed sewing, knitting, needlework, or ceramics. The forties’ sports phenomenon was succeeded on the charts by a burgeoning in the fifties groups in performing arts; for the most recent alumnae/i, one in three respondents spoke of singing, playing, or listening to music.
