She describes her employment both on and off campus, the prestige of Woman's College and her opinion of its decline once the Consolidated University System of North Carolina was formed. She discusses the effects of World War II, integration and coeducation on the institution; the influence of the faculty, especially Mereb Mossman and Louise Alexander; the Alumni Association-Chancellor Moran controversy and the move to Division I athletics. She reiterated how grateful she is for her quality education and how it shaped her life.
