When only a few women were admitted to colleges and universities, they felt the need to band together. Unity gave them strength and courage, both of which they needed because of their precarious position in their educational institutions. These early women students were admitted reluctantly to most colleges and were looked down upon by professors and male students alike. They were courageous women, determined to make a place for their sex in the collegiate world.
