Albany Graduates: Impressive

Such a pleasure to read the recent issue of our Albany magazine (January 2000)! I read every page, and am truly impressed with all that Albany graduates have accomplished. Wonderful people!

Dresses Required

I received my January issue of the alumni magazine and must say what an outstanding job you’re doing. I really enjoyed seeing a picture of Sayles Hall, the dorm where I lived and worked my freshman year. We still had curfew and we rang dinner chimes so that the house mother (Inez Aubrey) could give us the announcements, followed by a moment of silent prayer before the 6 o’clock meal. And we had to wear dresses to enter the dining room then, too!
