Rachael Long (1921-2011) was a secretarial administration major in the Class of 1943 of the Woman's College of the University of North Carolina, now The University of North Carolina at Greensboro. She was a niece of North Carolina Governor William Umstead and worked in the Office of Facilities Planning at the institution during her career. Long discusses dormitory and student life and the fact that her major reflected her need for employment. She remembers where she was when she heard of America's entrance into World War II and how it affected her life, her teachers and the excellent academic reputation of Woman's College. She wishes she had taken more advantage of learning as a student and describes her views of the controversy over Alumni Association funding during Chancellor William Moran's tenure and the onset of coeducation.
