HISTORY OF MARY WASHINGTON COLLEGE women finally became more or less dormant but was suddenly revived in 1943 by Governor Colgate W. Darden, Jr., who, pending the Nineteen Hundred and Forty-Four session of the General Assembly, appointed a Commission to study the proposed consolidation of Mary Washington College with the University of Vir- ginia. This Commission, which included the presidents of both institutions, the Superintendent of Public In- struction and other citizens formulated a report which was delivered to the Governor in December, Nineteen Hundred and Forty-Three, which contained the follow- ing recommendation : That the Mary Washington College be placed under the direction and control of the University Board and that within a period of four years the institution be con- verted into a College of Arts and Sciences on a par with the College of Arts and Sciences for men at the Uni- versity, with the same standards of admission and gradu- ation, and comparable instructional, library, and labora- ory facilities. The institution to be known as the Mary Washington College of the University of Virginia. This report was transmitted by the Governor to the General Assembly and a bill promptly introduced carry- ing the recommendation into effect. This bill passed both branches of the Assembly, with little or no opposi- tion, and was approved by the Governor in February, Nineteen Hundred and Forty-Four. By its provisions the College thus becomes an integral part of the Uni- versity and except for the fact that it is located at Fred- ericksburg, rather than at the University, the desire of the women of Virginia for co-ordination has been at last met. While the Sage of Monticello perhaps did not contem- plate the inclusion of women among the students of the University yet, if he were living today, one might assert without fear of contradiction that he would approve this act of manifest justice to the young women of the Commonwealth and would be the first to extend to them a warm welcome to the institution of which he was the Father and of which he was so justly proud.
