Abstract:
Through most of ECU’s history, the number of female students has been larger, with this reality palpable particularly in the residence halls. In fact, the number of male students was so low by 1912 that Wilson and Jarvis became female dorms. Male students rented rooms in town until 1919, when the number dropped to zero.

Abstract:
What became the Career Center was the second local residence for ECTTS’s first president, Robert Wright. The first was the first building on campus, Jarvis Hall. From that experience, residency for he and his family was an unconventional version of on campus living. From his children’s experience of the campus as a back yard, it also functioned as home.

The Jazz Age was also known for the popularity of sports on college campuses. ECTTS was no exception, with popularity so great that two leagues were created, the Athenians and Olympians. Though the 1970s became known as ECU’s Golden Age of Sports, another golden age can be perceived in the League’s two decades' dominance in campus sports.

Abstract:
Among ECU’s famous firsts was Fletcher Residence Hall, the first campus building to have elevators. The building, opening in 1964, was named for novelist Inglis Fletcher. It attained the nickname “skyscraper dorm” from being the tallest building in Northeastern North Carolina at that time. The seven story building remained the highest high-rise until its residential neighbor, ten story White Residence Hall, opened in 1968.

Abstract:
Alluding to a phrase still heard in the Progressive Era, NC Agricultural and Mechanical College students visited East Carolina Teachers College students. ECTC’s student body, mostly female, encouraged administration to facilitate co-ed style events that reflected progressive thinking. From that came the Sadie Hawkins Dance style visits of ECTC students to Raleigh.
