context_page_description: Evelyn College for Women, often shortened to Evelyn College, was the coordinate women's college of Princeton University in Princeton, New Jersey between 1887 and 1897. It was the first women's college in the State of New Jersey.
context_section_description: In 1896, Harper's Bazaar published an article about the college, noting that "[i]n the most conservative town, in the most conservative state, right under the shadow of Nassau Hall, a women's college has evolved" and that the day would come when "our country shall...speak with equal pride of the sons and daughters of Princeton."
  However, the college fell on hard times financially after the Panic of 1893 and struggled to keep enrollment up.  It closed permanently in 1897 after McIlvaine's death.  Women were not permitted to enroll at Princeton again until 1969, when the university became coeducational.
