Postcard: Alma Reeves Chapel, Mary Hardin Baylor College, Belton, Texas.
As it is Women’s Month, I though I should post a few items related to women.
Renamed University of Mary Hardin Baylor* this school, initially founded as the women’s college of what became Baylor University now located in Wacko, Texas, was one of the first institutions of higher education in the US for women, though its history is a little complex. It has become coeducational, and its ties to Baylor University have been sundered.
*Why do the trustees insist on on that awkward form for universities named after women? Another example is ole Virginny’s University of Mary Washington. If it were named for man, it would not be called, say, University of Abraham Lincoln.
Mabel Dart Colegrove in 1882, the year she graduated from Vassar College. Dart Colegrove studied at Colgate (then known as Madison University) for four years, from 1878-82, but took her last semester at Vassar because Colgate, an all-male school at the time, would not grant her a degree.
Of the decision, she wrote: “It was explained to me that a degree from a woman’s college would save me embarrassing explanations.” Despite this, she is considered by some to be Colgate's first co-ed.

[After Johns Hopkins medical school had been founded as a co-educational institution,] resistance to coeducation had dissipated, and varying numbers of women entered succeeding classes. However, an undercurrent of displease with women in medicine persisted. Most thought women did not have the physical ability to tolerate the grind. There were comments about the loss of femininity and sexuality necessary for them to succeed, and even [William] Osler [,a prominent figure at Johns Hopkins,] was said to have commented on the three classes of humanity: men, women and women physicians.
On early medical co-education, from Genius on the Edge.
A female student who asked the head of Yale’s history department about offering a course in women’s history was told, “That would be like teaching the history of dogs.” A Princeton English professor responded to a female student who wanted to write a paper on women writers: “I’m interested in auto mechanics, but I don’t try to bring that into the curriculum.”

PATHWAY TO HOPE AND OPPORTUNITY: OBERLIN AS SANCTUARY
An exhibit on display in the Academic Commons, Mudd Center, February 6-28, 2017.
The Oberlin College Libraries and Archives present this exhibit as an opportunity to pause and remember our history of helping others during uncertain times. The exhibit features documents, photographs, drawings and artifacts related to Oberlin’s anti-slavery activity and the Japanese American students at Oberlin College during World War II. These are stories of Oberlin helping others in need of a safe place to live, learn, and work.
