Give Online NowA Look at Bertie Deming Smith
“Women’s colleges and Mary Baldwin College
in particular, deserve and must have the same financial support from
alumnae families and friends as that given to larger private and public
colleges and universities. I convinced my late husband of the fairness
of this concept. Equal gifts to his alma mater and mine reflect this
philosophy. I invite all of our supporters to consider it.”
Bertie
Deming Smith arrived in Staunton in 1942, at the tender age of 16, and found
an environment that encouraged her to become a responsible, caring, and intellectually
curious adult. Through the years Mrs. Smith has been a steadfast supporter
of the Annual Fund. She has a strong conviction that Annual Fund gifts will
help Mary Baldwin remain a leading college for educating outstanding women,
attracting the best students and faculty.
