This is an index to the other six volumes of the second edition of the Maconiana series, which is a social history of student life at R-MWC, a small woman's college in Virginia. Part One, the General Index, indexes topics (e.g., Pumpkin Parade, Ring Night, Sororities). Part Two is an Index of People mentioned in the book, and Part Three is an Index of Songs and Verse by first line and title. This index will NOT work for the first edition, but it does not need to: first edition users have their own indexes at the back of each volume.
