WOMEN’S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION FOUNDED

In 1912, the Women’s Athletic Association was founded at Middlebury. David Stameshkin writes that “Female students had been largely excluded from the athletic program until 1912, when the Women’s Athletic Association was founded and interclass basketball games – to which only ‘women of the college, faculty wives, and friends’ were admitted – were organized” (The Town’s College, 269-70).

WOMEN GAIN ACCESS TO MCCULLOUGH GYM

Stameshkin writes that “In 1915 the women persuaded the trustees to let them use the gymnasium (for a five-dollar annual fee), including their own lockers and ‘shower-bath privileges'” (The Town’s College, 270).
