tenant farmer^2. “The overall impression is one of disbelief that in a lifetime one can travel so far,” said Ruth J. Simmons, 55, the younger of the two women, who learned this week she would be given the keys to that house, to say nothing of the 236-year-old Brown campus in Providence, Rhode Island. “We were a little numb thinking about it.”
