Sobre IBD

A favorite Bennett College song asks Belles to tell why they love their Alma Mater and many have been delighted to share their reasons. Tell Me Why Dear Bennett, Volume II contains not only memoirs, but also legacies, accomplishments, tributes, and memorials. Many Belles are being remembered as having 'set the pace' through the years, for Bennett’s 'her-story' is a reflection of our nation’s history from post-slavery days to the present time. May these volumes provide inspiration to every reader. Numerous portraits and a full-name index enhance the text.
