In the summer of 1991, Peggy Abood (’92) penned the position paper that led to the founding of Clarissa Dalloway’s Coffeehouse. The clubhouse on Saint Mary’s campus served espresso-based drinks — a new creation at the time — and provided an essential student gathering space. Since then, Dalloway’s changed management, moved locations and eventually closed
