Sweet Briar's Past and Present with Lynn Rainville and Spencer Beall

Sweet Briar College's imminent closing has been particularly interesting to me as it opens up conversations about single-sex education the school's complicated past. I talked to Sweet Briar anthropology professor Lynne Rainville and alumna Spencer Beall about their thoughts on what will be lost with the College's closure this summer.


Based on historic wrangling over the intent of Indiana Fletcher Williams' will and what that means for Sweet Briar's mandate, Lynn Rainville predicts the current battle will be resolved in court.
