 Women's college - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In higher education, a women's college is a college (that is, a primarily undergraduate, bachelor's degree-granting institution) whose students are exclusively women.
Some women's colleges admit small numbers of male students to their graduate schools or to part-time undergraduate programs, but all serve a primarily female student body.
While there were a few coeducational colleges (such as Oberlin College founded in 1833, Antioch College in 1853, and Bates College in 1855), most colleges and universities of high standing at that time were exclusively for men.

 Frederick Augustus Porter Barnard Summary
Barnard's scientific activities and the many papers he published in his fields led to his election as president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1860.
Barnard strove to have educational privileges extended by the university to women as well as to men, and Barnard College, for women, established immediately after his death, was named in his honour.
Barnard was a versatile man, of catholic training, a classical and English scholar, a mathematician, a physicist, and a chemist, a good public speaker, and a vigorous but somewhat prolix writer on various subjects, his annual reports to the Board of Trustees of Columbia being particularly valuable as discussions of educational problems.

 Education Update - Barnard Pre-College Summer Program
In the words of its even-toned director, Allison B. Kimmich, who grows enthusiastic as she reports the fact, the post 9/11 reaction to Barnard’s summer in the city offering of courses, visits to major cultural institutions, life-after-college seminars, and mini career fairs, has been “just the opposite” of what she had expected.
Though only 15-20% of the 16-17 year olds who attend the Barnard pre-college program actually apply to the undergraduate college, the program measures success by its ability to diversify and develop its own offerings while continuing to be selective.
Many summer campuses “bemoan” this aspect, Dr. Kimmich notes, but at Barnard, where approximately 75% of the pre-college fellows live in residence halls, learning how to get along with peers is an essential part of the “developmentally appropriate” experience.
