Excerpt from The McMaster University Monthly, Vol. 30: October, 1920 to May, 1921 If the history of that development were ever to be written. Our archives would show but fragmentary details. In one place we read that in the year 1894 mcmaster graduated its first women students - two in number. Elsewhere, at about the same period. We read that the enrollment included seven women, and the class lists of those days, and the pages of The Monthly, tell something of the high calibre of these pioneers. About 1903-4 we find the first mention of the Ladies' Literary League, the forerunner of the present Women's Literary Society; and in 1906 the women had become a strong enough element in the college life to control a department of The mcmaster Monthly. Since that time we have a more complete record of the growth in numbers and needs of our university women. But, even so. The records are dumb con cerning what must ever have been a very vital. And often vexing, problem, - the Housing Question. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
