Abstract:

A look at the efforts to improve collegiate education of white women at the turn of the 20th century as an example of the disparate impact of Southern progressivism upon education. In their desire to pattern the educational institutions of the New South, developed between 1890 and 1920, along the traditional racial, gender, and class divisions and roles of the Old South, Progressive reformers illustrated the paradoxical character of Southern social reform of this period.
