F, The education of women has new
Ell been neglected in Columbia. Long
before women were admitted to the
University - before the University
itself-the citizens of the town de-
cided that the girls were not getting
a square deal. There was a school
for the boys. Why not an academy
for the other sex. So these early
citizens of Boone County, as their
descendants have done since. made
UP a fund in the interest of educa-
tiOn, and the Columbia Female
Academy. chartered by the General
Assembly in 1897, came into be-
ing. This was the forerunner of the
present stephens College.
Mrs. David Guitar. who was grad
uated from the Academy in 1852, re-
called her school days in an inter-
view the other day.

where the Gordon hotel now stands"

were seven in the senior class. We
had valedictorian then. The girls
wore white dresses on commence

thought we were dressed up, but our
dresses would look rather plain in
comparison with those of to-day.

who attended the academy. Many
