"Access and Inclusion: Women Students at VPI, 1914-1964" by Leslie Williams.

Admission of women
Description
An account of the resource
This thesis analyzes coeducation as a process between 1914 and 1964 at Virginia Polytechnic Institute (VPI), as it was called during the period of study. The date for women's full-time admission came in 1921, but this thesis argues that, in the process of coeducation, the date for official access represents only one marker for VPI. Since women had taken courses during the summer before 1921 and did not encounter a welcoming environment after that date, this thesis contends that the relative importance of this "first" needs to be put in perspective. This thesis explores VPI as a case study to analyze how society's gender roles and women's place affected the decision to admit women and their treatment on campus after access. Examining social, political, and economic events in Virginia and the nation, this thesis places VPI within the context of events at the time. In particular, this thesis discusses how federal legislation, during the 1910s, prompted VPI to admit women, an area previously unexplored by historians of higher education. Throughout the period of study, this thesis argues that VPI - its students and administration - limited women's access and inclusion on campus in an effort to maintain its identity as a white, male, military institution.

Description
An account of the resource
This study is an investigation of Dr. Laura Jane Harper's tenure, achievements, and contributions to Virginia Tech from 1949-1980. Throughout Virginia Tech's history, examples of leadership, scholarship, and service have been recorded about students, faculty, and administrators; however, female administrators are overlooked in these collections. Using archival and interview data collection techniques and historical biographical methods, we will examine Harper's influences to the profession, significant contributions in the areas of scholarship, administration, and as a mentor for minorities and women.

Description
An account of the resource
This collection includes Board of Visitors minutes from meetings in 1921-1926 which discussed both the admission of women and some of the immediate campus needs in the following years. These PDFs include selected pages from the minutes relating to women's history at the university. Following the decision to admit women, the major focus for the first few years was providing sufficient housing to meet the demand. (The first dedicated women's dormitory would not be completed until 1940 and until that time, spaces around campus were converted as needs grew.)
