A Chronology of Goucher College 1881-1996_Page001

Foreward

The following chronology was begun as a quick reference file for the Goucher College Library, and the inclusions reflect the types of events for which inquirers have over the years requested dates. The listing is based on The History of Goucher College by Anna Heubeck Knipp and Thaddeus P. Thomas (1938), short chronologies that have appeared from time to time in The Goucher Alumnae Quarterly, Donnybrook Fair, and elsewhere, and upon searches - - far from complete - - of Kalends, The Goucher Alumnae Quarterly, Minutes of the Board of Trustees, Minutes of the College Assembly, The Goucher College Weekly, Minutes of the Faculty, and other publications which are now being assembled in the College Archives Collection.

Professor Frederic O. Musser, researching the Bulletins of Goucher College for the Centennial Subcommittee on Historical Research and Publications, was able to add many events and to supply correct dates.

This list was not meant to be exhaustive; we welcome comments, corrections, additions and questions which will influence any later edition of the chronology and certainly the basic reference file in the library. Memoranda should be addressed to me at the Goucher College Library.
