Miss Walters with her anaphalactic conscience makes 100% in anatomy but has a normal reflex awake. — 1913 Monticola. These objectionable pests had been strolling around since 1889, when coeducation was finally accepted at WVU. Women are an organizing kind, and in 1 900 the Women ' s League was formed with great success, but later disbanded to become the Women ' s Student Government Association. Women weren ' t such a detriment to the sports world either. In 1923 the coed rifle team affiliated with the National Rifle Association and later won a perfect score competing against men. Dorothy Snyder was one such sharpshooter. Being in a rural state, WVU was interested in agriculture from the very beginning. The bottle washing machine pictured below was a 1908 agricultural experiment station project, and the Farmer ' s Week exhibit above took place in 1930.

1 BOARD OF REGENTS (VISITORS), 1896— ROW 1: A. Brown, G. Sturgiss, W. Powell. ROW 2: A. Kunst, J. Sec, S. Reed, J. Brown. ROW 3: T. Atkinson, President Goodknight, R. McMahon, J. Hamill. In 1874, the Woodburn Female Seminary building burned, and West Virginia University, as it was named by the first President Rev. Alexander Martin, turned its backs on female higher education. The first class in the fall of 1868 boasted 122 students and a library of 247 books. A Board of Visitors was appointed by Gov. Borenian consisting of one person from each of the 1 1 senatorial districts. At their first meeting, Martin was elected to the presidency. In his inaugural address, the Methodist minister said, Even should the present generation fail to appreciate, improve, and increase its power, it will still live, and coming ages shall build on the foundation which here, with faith and prayer, we lay a fabric whose majestic proportions may exceed our most anguine expectations.
