This watch case belonged to Bessie Leach Priddy, Adrian College.
Tri Delta Founder Sarah Ida Shaw Martin, Boston University, began the tradition of special pieces of jewelry being passed to Fraternity officers for the duration of their term. The earliest pieces were her personal belongings, but over the years items belonging to other early leaders were added to the collection. It became a tradition for the Fraternity's leaders to pass the pieces to their incoming counterparts at the end of their induction ceremony.
This green box is lined with cream-colored silk and stamped with the name Bessie Leach Priddy on the top cover.
