l l 4 Ll M ir 1 E' i 1 'Tn i li u Z ' V Zami: A the able leadership of ljresiclent Hitchcock, the Col- lege was enjoying renewed prosperity after a period of financial stress when the Civil VVar tool: its toll of the students. Several years after the war a critical moment in the history of the College arrivedg the institution was invited to leave its home at Hudson in order to remove to the city of Cleveland where its Medical department had already been established in 1844. Opinion was divided, as to whether the additional cultural advantages offered by a large city were sufficient to oitsetxthe dangers to which the students would be exposed in such a place. Wlith the aid of a muniiicent donation by Mr. Amasa Stone and many other generous endowments, Adelbert College of Wfestern Reserve University was established in Cleveland in 1882. The College for XVOIDCII was founded in 1888: other branches were added . . . but we all know the University as it is today. Wlhat need to detail its many buildings and activities, its hundreds of students, graduate and undergraduate, its large and learned faculty? What has the future in store? VVe can only hazard a conjectureg but we seein justiiied in the belief that the years to come will bring only addi- tional prosperity and progress to that which the cen- tury that has passed has left in its wake.

XlYllSlllKDl.Nl' A l l ,X ll 5 Q K College for Women N january 24, 1888, the Trustees of Adelbert College decided to debar women from attend- ing that institution where their increasing number occasioned the fear that the student body might become over-feminizeclf' The College for Vlfomen started in 1888 with thirty-eight students and eight members of the Adelbert faculty. Today the faculty numbers sixty-eight, the students eight- hundred sixty-eight. The College moved to the present campus on Bellflower Road in 1892, when Clark Hall and Guilford House were dedicated. Then followed the building of Haydn Hall, the Florence Harkness Memorial Chapel, the Mary Chisholm Painter memorial gateway, better known as The Tombs , the Gymnasium, Mather Hall, and Flora Mather House. Students of the College for VVomeu have a choice of eight different courses, the Liberal Arts leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree, the Household Ad- ministration course with a Bachelor of Science de- gree, and six combined courses given in conjunction with other schools of the University. The teaching profession has always received the largest number of College for VVomen graduates, and marriage the second largest. Business and newspaper offices, libraries and laboratories claim some, while a few have become singers and painters. One has ob- tained a judgeship in the Supreme Court of Ohio. The College for VVo'men today ranks among the foremost colleges of the country. .,.,, V X , , .. 1 num, mmf N vi N i 5 ' e 43 S in la l ,L a r xx il . Q K., li I . A. , 'K' ll1.1.1:N M.
