1923. At that time 40 students
enrolled in tht Independence" High
school to, gain what knowledge
tht-y could: Our advisors for that
year were Miss Clave and Mr.
Palfrey.
Those first few weeks were in
deed interesting ones. Everything
seemed so different. The meth
ods, the studies, the teachers
we had to become accustomed to
all of them. However, this was a
pleasant and profitable experience
for most of us, as we realized
that this was but a milepost on
the oad toward a final goal a
coppieted education.
1 Members of our class have par
ticipated 4n athletics every year.
Those who are on the various
xeams are: basketball, boys'
John Potts, James Hanna, William
Becken, and Marshall Pengra;

During our sophomore year we

believed that an educational cam
paign would have to precede the
definite establishment of a girl's
college on a sound basis and that
to attempt it before we had start
ed the men's collegewell on its
way would jeopardize the success
of that undertaking. We there
fore let our tentative plans rest
where they Were. ;
"This decision, however, has
met with an unexpected number
of protests from feminine under
graduates who have asked that
they be given the same opportuni
ties as the men. A representative
of the Vassar Travel Bureau re
ceived so many enquiries .that, up
on our request, she undertook a
survey of the colleges of the east
and has found there Is a general
enthusiasm and demand for a
Floating University for girls.
"Under the circumstances we
decided that we could go ahead at
once. We have therefore taken
steps to provide a faculty, dean,
and president which we expect to
be able to announce within a very
shprt time now. The members of
the faculty will be drawn from
Vassar, Radcliffe, Bryn Mawr,
Mount Holyoke, Wellesley and
Barnard and we have received
assurances from most of. these
colleges that they will cooperate
in the undertaking ' by granting
leave of . absence to such of their
faculty as we may require. We
have also, opened negotiations to
charter a suitable steamship for
the college. ..
"The itinerary of the cruise will
follow closely that of the men's
college with some changes made
necessary by the fact? that the
girls cruise-year will be limited
to one semester of six months in
