The Honeysuckle Hedge: Volume 1 of Maconiana, 1893-1924 Meredith Minter Dixon

Once upon a time, in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, there was a wonderful college made just for women. For 113 years, from 1893 to 2006, it nurtured generations of students. It was called Randolph-Macon Woman's College. Chapter by chapter, at five years apiece, this is the story of how those students lived, what they did, what they thought, and, especially, how they had fun. Volume 1, 1893-1924, covers the origin of the rivalry between Odd and Even Classes, the origin of the annual Pumpkin Parade, the exciting "class fights" between Freshmen and Sophomores, and the many elaborate class parties.
