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.
