Notes

Abstract: The Oklahoma College for Women in Chickasha opened in 1911 as one of the only eight schools in the nation founded as a state-supported women's college. Although the educational focus changed over the years, Cynthia Savage shows, the physical growth of the campus over the next fifty years reflected the aspirations of the college and the growth of women's education in the state.
