 | | The records of the first women’s college chartered in Missouri, and one of the first chartered west of the Mississippi River, consists of correspondence, catalogs, yearbooks, photographs, and financial records. |
 | | It was named Missouri because a large portion of the funds needed for its erection came from friends and alumnae in Missouri. |
 | | The college’s early years, from the 1850s to the turn of the century, and particularly, its more recent years, the 1970s and 1980s, are not as well represented. |
