Converse College (SC)By EmilyI am also a graduate of Converse College and my friends and I appear in one of the photos in the book. This little book presents a solid view of the background of the school. her mission and her philosophy. For those of us who lived parts of it. it is a memory book. For those who have not been a part of this institution. it is a view of womens education for more than a century.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
