Dear Sweet Briar Alumnae and Friends, As We Were Putting the Finishing Touches on This Magazine, the Unthinkable Happened: a Global COVID-19 Pandemic Dear Sweet Briar alumnae and friends, As we were putting the finishing touches on this magazine, the unthinkable happened: a global COVID-19 pandemic. As you know, we had to make the difficult decision to spend the rest of the semester engaging in remote teaching and learning and postpone graduation and Reunion. I’m sure you share my sadness that we won’t be celebrating the spring traditions that define life at Sweet Briar. The campus is so beautiful, with everything is bursting into bloom. The colors and the light are glorious. But it’s too quiet! I miss our students very much. But let me assure you: “There is nothing you cannot do” applies to this crisis, too. We have been tested before, and it’s only made us stronger. We are determined to prevail, because we believe that Sweet Briar graduates are exactly what the nation and world are going to need in the coming years: women leaders committed to a more sustainable world. Clearly, our mission is striking a chord, because more and more people are investing in our future. March Days of Giving resulted in more than $1.8 million in gifts to the college. Thanks to generous donors, our core curriculum is ramping up, and our beloved stables will soon be undergoing a complete renovation (more on pages 39). Our agriculture initiative, also fueled by philanthropy, continues to build momentum-- even in the face of COVID-19. You’re going to see enormous progress the next time you’re on campus. Everything we’re doing—from vineyards to greenhouses—is going to be a tremendous asset for campus life, and an economic lifeline for Amherst County. (For more on our new partnership with the American Farmland trust, see page 28.) I’m so proud of all the people who are standing up for Sweet Briar. Now, let me ask you: Can we count on you, too? Your gift the Sweet Briar Fund is more important than ever. Unrestricted funding gives the College the flexibility to direct dollars where they are needed most, especially in this unprecedented time: emergency funding for students who facing hardship, maintaining our technological infrastructure, making it possible to continue paying salaries to our hourly employees. Visit sbc.edu/give and make your gift today. Be the fuel for our resilience and our inno- vative spirit. Help us take good care of this place, which holds such a special place in your heart, until you can come back to see it. Remember: We are family. Nothing can change that. Be well.

He worked with Ralph Adams Cram to develop the vision and construct the reality of the Sweet Briar campus. His vision, however, extended beyond academic buildings and dormitories. He saw potential in the beautiful land. He planned to build a barn for milk cows and pleasure horses for the use of the students. He dammed the little stream where Daisy used to fish, forming the lake to use for boating. He built a boat house. The woods nearest the buildings were to be cleared and converted into a park. spring 2020 3 Systems of Riding From the very beginning, land and horses occupied leading roles at the College and were a source of pride and distinction. Equestrians today recognize two main Sweet Briar welcomed the first class in the fall of 1906, and systems of riding.

  • Forging a New Path
    FORGING A NEW PATH, SWEET BRIAR TURNS TO THE FUTURE Dear Sweet Briar Alumnae, Throughout this spring semester, distinguished women musicians, writers and policy makers have streamed to the campus, in a series dubbed “At the Invitation of the President.” As you will read in this issue, the series started in January with a remarkable all-women ensemble of scholar-performers dedicated to excavating little-known string trios from the 17th and 18th century, and it ended the semester with a lecture by Bettina Ring, the secretary of agriculture and forestry for the Commonwealth. Sweet Briar was a working farm for most of its history, a fact that does not escape the secretary, both as an important legacy we share and cherish, but also as a resurgent possibility for the future — for Sweet Briar and Central Virginia. Through this series, one learns stunning things about women who shape history. A gradu- ate of Sweet Briar, Delia Taylor Sinkov ’34 was a top code breaker who supervised a group of women who worked silently — under an “omerta” never to be betrayed in one’s lifetime — to break the Japanese navy and army codes and eventually to help win the Battle of Midway. Ultimately, the number of code breakers surpassed 10,000. While America is a country that loves and shines light on its heroes, women have often stayed in the shadow of that gleaming light; they are history’s greatest omission. “Do you like doing the crossword puzzle?” Navy recruiters would ask the potential code breakers. “And are you engaged to be married?” If the answer to the former was a “yes” and to the lat- ter a “no,” then the women were recruited to the first wave of large-scale intelligence work upon which the nation would embark.

  • Sweet Briar College Magazine – Spring 2019
    Dear Sweet Briar alumnae and friends, Friendship and family have been on my mind lately, and so I want to tell you about some new friends I’ve been making this semester. One of them is Ray, who is tall and smart and also known as Love Z, and the other is Blues, who is very personable and a wonderful teacher. My friendship with Ray has grown over time; frankly, I didn’t seem to make much of an impression on him at first. My friendship with Blues blossomed immediately; we seem to be simpatico. As I joked with Merrilee “Mimi” Wroten, the director of Sweet Briar’s acclaimed riding program, maybe I bonded faster with Blues because he’s rather short, and so am I. And if you haven’t already figured it out, Ray, a chestnut warmblood, and Blues, a gray quarter horse, are members of the College’s equine family, and along with Mimi, they’ve been teaching me how to ride. As Sweet Briar’s president, it’s vital for me to learn as much as I can about the Col- lege, its programs and its people. That’s why I taught a course in our inaugural three- week session in the fall of 2018; that’s why I have just instituted collegial gatherings of faculty and staff every Monday evening (called Sweet Briar Hour); and that’s why I’m taking riding lessons, so that I can better understand our equestrian program, its ac- complishments and its needs. Riding also gives me a connection with many members of our Sweet Briar family; a full third of our students identify as riders, whether for competition or recreation.

What man does good, but he consumes thereby But thou wert loved for good, held high, given show ; Poor virtue loathed for good, obscured, held low : Do good, be pined, be deedless good, disgraced ; Unless we feed on men, we let them fast. Yet Hero with these thoughts her torch did spend : When bees make wax, Nature doth not intend It should be made a torch ; but we, that know The proper virtue of it, make it so.
