May Day at Sweet Briar When Sweet Briar College opened in in the fall of 1906, fifty-one students were enrolled. The following spring, this class held the first May Day celebration at Sweet Briar in 1907. Until World War II, it was the most important campus event of the year. The war limited enthusiasm and resources, and the feel of the May Day photos changes after 1946. Perhaps expanded opportunities for women outside the home had diminished the appeal of the pageant. But annual celebrations continued until 1969. After that students voted to end the tradition. |
