Selected material relating to the College's name changes in 1912 and 1919

Summary: See above

Interpretive:
In 1912, the faculty, administration, and alumnae successfully petitioned the Trustees of the College to change the College's name from Greensboro Female College to Greensboro College for Women because they felt that the term "female" used in conjunction with "college" demonstrated a lack of progress in terms of educational development. And in 1919, the young women of the College and the alumnae successfully petitioned the Trustees to change the College's name from Greensbro College for Women to simply Greensboro College because they felt that the term "for women" was unnecessary.
