TEXAS WOMAN'S COLLEGE, 1914-1935...
The era of Texas Woman's College is too close to the present to seem strange to us today -
indeed, many graduates of the school are teachers at Texas Wes eyan. For example, the cata-
logs of the college reveal such names as DeRema Parker, who was president of the student body,
and Juanita Cowan, who was secretary, and many others, now members of our faculty and ad-
ministration.K;-z

. .; d.M a -er, ,I -:il o ..Many students today are here because a
mother or older sister attended Texas Wom-
an's College. No school could have a better
recommendation.
Great rivalry existed among the students
of Texas Woman's College, C. I. A., and Bay-
lor-Belton-in literary and scholastic endeav-
ors, in sports, and in their struggles for the
affections of certain students at A. & M.
The study of Greek was gradually reduced
to a single course, but Latin continued strong
until the 1930's. Elocution became speech and
dramatics became popular. Physical educa-
tion, which was a division of the department
of elocution (!) at Polytechnic, became a major
study as colleges turned more and more away
from an attempt to mpart a certain pre-
scribed "culture" to an attempt to prepare
for living.
Then to the dramatic moment when Miss
E enora Balthrop, waiting to go before a micro-
phone to tell of the advantages of Texas
Woman's College, was notified that men
would be admitted as day students-and with-
in the year a new institution-Texas Wesleyan
College!
