+ | Lilly Bertha Allen of Amherst, class of 1903, was noted affectionately in the yearbook’s Freshman Class History: "[the class] has the very distinguishing honor of being the only class in college that can boast of strength, strong and powerful, but not all masculine. It contains a noted woman. We have a lady in our class. On our roll her name stands first." | ||
+ | |||
+ | Allen departed either after freshman year or early in sophomore year. Later, the class of 1903—now all-male—contributed to the //Index// an editorial that argued against the admission of women to the college: "we are not prepared for this class of students and it will take time and money to become prepared, and…we can see no advantage to be derived from the policy." | ||
