Here are some images - in black and white - that depict life inside Sweet Briar's gates throughout the years:</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCQEwQ0DEguf3uIOduqtYMGKC9vnnBSBPYpAObC-gQ9h8XZ44H-KzbM46WwxqPPySgy2_7PgCVvECEna5eMHmmb9_jh_uk2IDZi7nePTJtF5nN4_6u_TrHLRtY7IQMthkIesbgVN_rua0/s1600/tumblr_lokb7rIvn01qi1raio1_1280.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCQEwQ0DEguf3uIOduqtYMGKC9vnnBSBPYpAObC-gQ9h8XZ44H-KzbM46WwxqPPySgy2_7PgCVvECEna5eMHmmb9_jh_uk2IDZi7nePTJtF5nN4_6u_TrHLRtY7IQMthkIesbgVN_rua0/s1600/tumblr_lokb7rIvn01qi1raio1_1280.jpg" width="508" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Meta Glass, Third President of Sweet Briar College.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Text and image source: <a href="http://sweetbriarcollege.tumblr.com/page/18" target="_blank">sweetbriarcollege</a> on Tmblr.</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGGTlcUoWEiX5jceO7boi_y_BuIQbG8FiumOWqC3EseVjMhgQgHRmrgCUzf1JURJTl03xOHlMssyLW0cRvIHHcgh2G_NS_lmc9c5f9VKvnRsyTy8VxK10ocez6AofMYMYD2HeZGir_KNQ/s1600/tumblr_mr3553uo7r1qk9xxho1_1280.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="560" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGGTlcUoWEiX5jceO7boi_y_BuIQbG8FiumOWqC3EseVjMhgQgHRmrgCUzf1JURJTl03xOHlMssyLW0cRvIHHcgh2G_NS_lmc9c5f9VKvnRsyTy8VxK10ocez6AofMYMYD2HeZGir_KNQ/s1600/tumblr_mr3553uo7r1qk9xxho1_1280.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Wearers of the SB - These women won enough points in hiking, athletics, and Lake Day to wear their SB."</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Photo from 1919 <i>Briar Patch</i>.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Text and image source: <a href="http://sweetbriarcollege.tumblr.com/page/36" target="_blank">sweetbriarcollege</a> on Tmblr.</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghULhY-N4-Kc1o2hCM5eLH-z5010tw7nIthMW9WD4wH9OnYSXxmH8yO6eDXs2cr2ZohPoi59wlQ4kE7yRDm0SCaC0YqAIdJtOfmhiUWCtAXv-1NprZD1RWC-7gCHprAPkc1GxtH1vtFMA/s1600/tumblr_mrhzj9eRB51qk9xxho1_400.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghULhY-N4-Kc1o2hCM5eLH-z5010tw7nIthMW9WD4wH9OnYSXxmH8yO6eDXs2cr2ZohPoi59wlQ4kE7yRDm0SCaC0YqAIdJtOfmhiUWCtAXv-1NprZD1RWC-7gCHprAPkc1GxtH1vtFMA/s1600/tumblr_mrhzj9eRB51qk9xxho1_400.jpg" width="488" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Head of Riding.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Photo from 1925 <i>Briar Patch</i>.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Text and image source: <a href="http://sweetbriarcollege.tumblr.com/page/35" target="_blank">sweetbriarcollege</a> on Tmblr.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx_j-4hyphenhyphenGr5ZY-QKn4xcvsYR-hl-GqI35ePu4Puvc4sy-E8_fao-qlFEXhaft7TXTSxxElfBpLmCunBqa4U7iKgi8S9DKWtL1i92KrVcMQ7lrXKkvH7q5vrbW5jJbx8pElgPo_nCTWHVA/s1600/14047684371_8f075aa9d6_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx_j-4hyphenhyphenGr5ZY-QKn4xcvsYR-hl-GqI35ePu4Puvc4sy-E8_fao-qlFEXhaft7TXTSxxElfBpLmCunBqa4U7iKgi8S9DKWtL1i92KrVcMQ7lrXKkvH7q5vrbW5jJbx8pElgPo_nCTWHVA/s1600/14047684371_8f075aa9d6_o.jpg" width="448" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The reflecting pool outside the Mary Helen Cochran Library [Sweet Briar College] in 1945.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Photo: W.
