Waynesburg's Early Female Alumnae and the Success of Coeducation
We Will Do Great Things: Waynesburg's Early Female Alumnae and the Success of Coeducation is a special topic presentation that explores the unique history of Waynesburg University through the stories of its earliest students and faculty, focusing on women’s experiences in collegiate coeducation during the University’s first 75 years, from 1849 to 1924.
This talk was created for the Crosby Lecture Series at Waynesburg University, by Candice Buchanan, a Reference Librarian in the History and Genealogy Section of the Library of Congress. Candice is a third-generation alumna of Waynesburg University with a long interest in the school's early opportunities for female education.
