Ruth Whittemore Sherrill (1893-1986) was a member of the Class of 1912 of the State Normal and Industrial College, now The University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG). Sherrill recalls her experiences while attending college, specifically her experience living in Greensboro with her family rather than in a dorm on campus, and her commute to campus by streetcar or by foot. She mentions President Julius Isaac Foust, mathematics professor Gertrude Mendenhall, and various classes she attended. Her two daughters, Sarah Sherrill Rainey and Martha Lee Sherrill Matthews, were present for the interview and contributed some of their experiences while attending the college, then known as Woman's College of the University of North Carolina, now UNCG.
