Administrative history

The Pembroke College Seventy-fifth Anniversary Committee was comprised of representatives from the administration, undergraduates, and alumnae. Mary Louise Record served as the chair. The alumnae sub-committee also acted as a committee of the Alumnae Association of Brown University. The 75th Anniversary Committee first met in the fall of 1965. The celebration began in the fall of 1966 with an arts festival that included an Exhibition of the Herbert and Nannette Rothschild Collection at the Annmary Brown Memorial (for the exhibit catalog, request University Archives 1-ZP -B68h). Grace E. Hawk wrote Pembroke College in Brown University: The First Seventy-Five Years, 1891-1966 (University Archives 1-ZP H3) for the anniversary.
