ORK There’ve been a lot of reminders lately of Sweet Briar’s motto, “Rosam quae meruit ferat.” She who has earned the rose may bear it. In February 2015, an opportunity presented itself to visit New York City — a place where bearers of the Sweet Briar rose have for decades made their presence known, from Wall Street to Broadway. We couldn’t catch up with all of the Sweet Briar women of New York — so no slight to the lawyers, artists, scientists, bankers and entrepreneurs we didn’t talk to — but in two days and two nights, we traversed Manhattan and crossed the bridge to Brooklyn to find nine alumnae where they live, work and play. New Yorkers are a special breed and New York City a special place. Wendy Weiler ’71 puts it this way: “John Updike defined ‘the true New Yorker’ as someone who came with a ‘secret belief that people living anywhere else had to be, in some sense, kidding.’ Like most New Yorkers, I believe New York is the center of the universe.” Whether natives or transplants, ambitious youngsters or wily veterans, we wanted to know how these women have hit their strides in the Big Apple. We asked a bunch of questions and got plenty of answers. In the pages that follow, their edited responses provide a snapshot of their working lives and a glimpse of the New York experience. Each of these graduates is a testament to the wisdom of Indiana Fletcher Williams, who created Sweet Briar to teach women to be not merely educated, but “useful” members of society. And they are a testament to the women and men who for 115 years have made Indiana’s vision a reality. – Story by Jennifer McManamay, Photos by Meridith De Avila Khan SBC.EDU | SWEET BRIAR MAGAZINE 11
