Bryn Mawr has given me a new definition of internationalism and a new feeling for the word 'tolerant,' writes... a cigar worker from a southern mill. At first I thought my mother would have a fit if she knew I was going around with the cotton mill girls. Now I see that they are just as nice girls as anyone else, and I am trying to get them to come to our club [YWCA Industrial Club]. I got acquainted too with a lot of the Russian girls, and learned a lot from them. .. (Smith Women Workers 17).
