'.CvuL. - When co-education came to the, ivied towers of Oberlin College, above, a century ago, Caroline Mary Rudd (right), first co-ed student, was hemmed in by Victorian conventions and prejudicesi OBERLIN, O. Just one hundred years ago America's first co-eds packed their campus clothes and set out for Oberlin Ober-lin College, the first school in the country to allow men and women to sit together through college courses. There was no sleeping through eight o'clock classes for those firts co-eds. The Young Ladies as they were called in 1837 were required re-quired to rise at five in the morning, and have their rooms in order by eight. Midnight bull sessions were not yet the style, for ten o ciock was me prescriDeu ana enforced bedtime, Food at Oberlin was more plain than fancy, and a good thing, too, for it was served by the co-eds. Bread was the staff of life bread with milk, bread with gravy, bread with salt, and bread and water. If a young lady preferred a more hearty diet than ' bread she paid an extra charge and -Bat at a table where meat was served.

Mrs. Jensen Speaks On Wprld Tour An enj6yable meeting of the Alice . Louise Reynolds club, Chapter Chap-ter No. 3, was held at the home of Mrs. Clara Gilea Thursday afternoon. aft-ernoon. Mrs. Nola Nilsson, accompanied by Miss Hilma Snell, sang two lovely vocal selections, following which Mrs. Christen Jensen gave an interesting talk on her world tcur. She emphasized her visits to Japan, China and India. At the close of the unusually fine program, tasty refreshments were served by the hostesses, Mrs. Giles, Mrs. Hattie Speckart, Mrs. Grace Cheever and Mrs. Sarah Cummings. 1TOR run-around wear at school or for a business office, the design shown in pattern 8902 is outstanding. Every line is designed de-signed for comfort. The raglan sleeve with its inverted pleat and the skirt with kick pleats back and front permit you to swing a tennis racked comfortably,- to drive a car without strain or if you are a young housewife, to handle the baby without danger -of bursting seams. The style is a classic one and is very easy to sew. Novelty is given to the design by means of the double collar and the lacing in the tab yoke; details which also al-so make it more flattering to wear and soften its tailored lines. For Indian summer and the first frosty days of autumn, wear this dress in a light flannel or light-weight serge. Both are new and very well suited to a tailored dress of this type. A heavy silk crepe or one of the new nubby rayon weaves would also look well. Pattern 8902 is designed for sizes 14, 16, 18, 20; 32, 34, 36. 38, 40 and 42. Size 16 requires 4 3-4 yards of 39-inch material. The new Fall and Winter Pattern Pat-tern Book is ready for you now. It has 32 pages of attractive designs de-signs for every size and every occasion.

And religion was not confined to Sundays. A prayer began every class, whether it was Cicero, the Acts of the Apostles in the original orig-inal Greek, anatomy, physiology, or trigonometry. No co-ed served meal oegan without grace, and there were prayer meetings, religious re-ligious lectures and chapel hours for the young ladies to attend. They were also allowed a half hour each morning for private de votions. . College life for the co-eds bf 1937 did not include fraternity and sorority dances, rumble seats, football games, or complicated campus politics.

The Reform Society's most earnest endeavor was to adopt a resolution "that the dis grace of the gentleman who takes improper liberties with a young lady shall be as great as that of the youne lady wno permits such tliberties." TLady Students" Were Bashful . ' Even though they were eager for the kind of education that had heretofore been offered only to men, the first co-eds could not always take it. There was the time when a corpse was exhibited exhibit-ed in anatomy class and four coeds co-eds grew faint. There was also the iaculty plan to combine the men's and women's English com position classes, and a subsequent petition from the ladies that either from modesty or delicacy they felt reluctant to read their compositions in the presence of men. --By means of the petition and tears, the ladies won their point, and they continued to read their written thoughts before a strictly female audience. In 1840, Oberlin was given a telescope, but it was ieportea that the lady principal was "a bit hesitant about allowing the lady Nstude'nts to stay up after hours to look at the heavenly bodies," -; . Once every week the co-eds were given a lecture by the Ladies' Principal on engagements, marriage, hygiene, politeness. dress and the qualities essential for a ' minister's wife. One stu dent described the lectures in these words: "She holds up before be-fore us the great laws of life and health, teaches us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made and not guiltless if we trample on these laws." Co-education Was . Denounced By Some Charges of laxness in morals among college students is not entirely en-tirely a new complaint. Oberlin' had to defend just such crit- Ucisms a .hundred years ago. In I37, a student who had been dismissed from the school wrote a pamphlet accusing the leaders of Oberlin of "wild fanaticism." He declared that "joint educa- tion" was very similar to free Spencer - Bown Engagement Announced Announcement is made of the engagement of Miss Goldie Spencer, Spen-cer, well known Provo girl,- and a daughter of Mrs. Ethel Spencer and the late Clay Spencer of Provo, to M. D. Bown, son of W. E. Bown, also of this city. The marriage is to be an event of mid-September, and after a week's trip to southern) Utah attractions, the young couple will return to Provo to reside. Mr. Bown will attend the B. Y. U. this winter, working towards his master's degree. Fine Development After Summer of Play i t i fi ) p R U 1 ; - - i 'J ! f w Co-education was a daring ' innovation in 1837, and college authorities authori-ties would have been shocked at the informal camaradie enjoyed by the two modern Oberlin undergrade seen above. love, and that undue intimacy was common between the students stu-dents of opposite sex. The pamphlet, just as anything written writ-ten on the subject today, enjoyed a wide circulation. No one today knows why the foutyoung women who enrolled at Oberlin College on September 6, 1837, chose to be America's first co-eds. Oberlin admitted them to "bring within the reach of the misjudged and neglected sex ali the instructive privileges . At Birthday Party for Mother Mrs. Eva W.

Whatever the motive of those four Young Ladies in going to school with men, the end was matrimony, 10Q per cent. If jnat-rimony jnat-rimony is indeed the aim of most co-eds, the beginners were more successful than their modern sisters. sis-ters. For through the years the percentage of marriages of Ober-lin's Ober-lin's women graduates has dropped drop-ped from 100 to 60 per cent.
