The Red Brick Wall by Meredith Minter Dixon,Janet Hansen Martinet Pdf

Once upon a time, in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, there was a wonderful college made just for women. For 113 years, from 1893 to 2006, it nurtured generations of students. It was called Randolph-Macon Woman's College. Chapter by chapter, at five years apiece, this is the story of how those students lived, what they did, what they thought, and, especially, how they had fun. Volume 2, 1924-1944, covers the riotous "Freshman Elections," in which the Freshmen were expected to earn the right to become an official class by outwitting the Sophomores. It covers the gradual shift from "class parties" to "class plays," including the beginning of the battles over the Sophomore Play. It covers the change from Field Day with its intramural sports events to May Day and the crowning of the May Queen. And it covers the beginnings of the Senior Dinner Dance.

Randolph-Macon College by Virginia E. Young Pdf

Randolph-Macon College was founded as a Methodist-related college in 1830 near Boydton in Mecklenburg County, Virginia. After the Civil War, the college moved along the Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac Railroad tracks to the wooden buildings of a bankrupt resort hotel north of Richmond in Ashland, Virginia. The college was soon known for such innovations as required physical education. Pres. W. W. Smith expanded Randolph-Macon into a system of five institutions, including the women's college in Lynchburg, Virginia. Pres. Robert Emory Blackwell instilled the college philosophy of "hand cultivation" of students, which is still followed today. After World War II, Pres. J. Earl Moreland began building the modern campus. In 1966, African American students were admitted, and though town girls took classes as early as 1893, the college became fully coeducational in 1971. Today the college has grown to over 1,200 students and although still grounded in the liberal arts, majors range from accounting to women's studies.
