content: Purchased by donor Purchased in 1969 and worn under robe at June 1969 commencement. Donor attended Agnes Scott College in Decatur, GA (1966-67) and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (1968-69) and commented on the outfits in this accession, "In going over the dates purchased, I was struck once again by how conventional these outfits are for so turbulent a time in our national history. Their significance, if any, lies in the physical evidence of the extent to which southern campuses remained traditional until later in the decade of the seventies."
