L. C. OF OTHER DAYS PhILOGENIA WARE, Elethia McLendon, Sophronia Campbell, and Amorantha Cameron entered LaGrange Female Academy about 1840. They arrived in carriages and in barouches with many more bandboxes and umbrellas than books. They were accompanied by their black mammies, but this new business of girls getting an edu- cation did not encourage so many curling tresses and so much tubbing and button- ing, so the mammies were sent home. A serious period ensued in which one-half of each day was devoted to mathe- matics, it being generally believed in that day that a woman could not learn such an abstract subject. Much time was given to writing of essays on such serious subjects as Mother, Home and Heaven, What Is Life but Fleeting, All a Mist, Man is Born to Mourn. The college authorities declared that a knowledge of French was indispensable as the diplomas are printed in French. In addition to all this getting of knowledge, these young misses were admonished to mind your manners and walk sedately. The rules and regulations were many. The girls must not leave their shawls lyinL r about on pianos or chairs. These shawls were their house wraps and were worn in their rooms and on the campus. Capes were used for dress-up occasions. The young ladies were to have no association with men, except to direct them to the president ' s office or to answer seme impersonal inquiry. The last night of commence- ment, however, all rules were cancelled, and the young ladies came out of their cloister to take part in the farewell levee, a grand social function. During the early seventies bananas were a rarity. The young men saved their pennies to buy their young ladies a banana. At the levee, it was no uncommon sight to see a refined young lady in laces and satins eating a banana, as she promenaded with her young man. l iGrange College is rich in traditions and old legends. But not all the interest- ing things are confined to the past. Building on a rich heritage, the old college is doing even greater work today and may look forward to a successful future. — Martha Jane Travlor.
