From the March 8, 2022, MidWeek "Looking Back." (DeKalb County, Illinois)
Here is a name for Northern Illinois University that I did not know. But, evidently in its earlier days it was called "Girls College."
Here's the article from March 1922:
"It will not be many days before the work of installing a chapter of the Y.M.C.A. at the Teacher' College will be completed. Dean of Men Robert G. Buzzard called a meeting of all men members of the student body and faculty at which time a brief outline of what is to be done was given.
"A forming of the Y.M.C.A. at the Teachers' college would be a fair indication that the college is growing away from the old name "Girls college." The last few years has seen a wonderful growth in the number of men students at the college."
And the gals were so happy.
No More "Suitcase College" Here. --Cooter
