founders and early students of Centenary coil ge would have derided the idea of the school ever becoming coeducational History shows that Centenary like most other schools was slow In extending the privilege of higher education to women In the fall of 1897 and the spring of 1898 there was considerable excitement and not a few hot arguments as to whether female students should be admitted It was a popular question for debate among the clubs however and for the most part the men students were highly in favor of allowing the young ladies to share their classes The board of trustees after much head-scratching and deliberation agreed in the fall of 98 to admit women students with the restriction that they should have finished two years of college already As a result two sisters Misses Willie and Carrie Schwing ages 19 and 21 respectively entered in the fall term of that year Both were good students making excellent grades They finished in 1900 receiving degrees Miss Willie went to Tulane where she married one of the professors who is now a practicing physician in New Orleans Miss Carrie as a result a campus romance married one of the Centenary graduates and Is now living in Jackson La the old college site Others of the early graduates were Miss Marie Mason who when she received her A degree in 1902 was given highest honors of the year and Miss Mary Hill Taylor of Jackson Coeds were not admitted in their freshman year until the college was moved to Shreveport in 1912 One can imagine the rush of popularity these first two coeds received from the sons of rich plantation owners who were attending Centenary at the time Being of Barney probation officer of the Caddo parish juvenile court who underwent a serious operation at the Schumpert sanitarium Sunday Tuesday was reported to
