Hardback, [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from Bryn Mawr, Vol. 90: The Undergraduate College Catalogue and Calendar, 1997-98; Issue for the Session of 1997-98; August, 1997 The first president of Bryn Mawr Was James E. Rhoads (1885 another physician and one of the early planners of the College. It was M. Carey Thomas, the first-dean and second president (1894 how ever, who gave Bryn Mawr its special identity as a college determined to prove that women could successfully complete a Curriculum as rigorous as any offered to men in the best universities. When she was only thirteen she wrote in her diary, How unjust - how narrow-minded how utterly incomprehensible to deny that women ought to be-educated and worse than all to deny that they have equal powers of mind. Her life may be seen as a concentrated experiment to prove that it was not so. Miss Thomas was succeeded by Marion Edwards Park (1922 a distinguished classicist. When she became president the battle for recognition of women's ability to learn was essentially won, but it fell to President Park to provide a system for democratic governance in the wake of her charismatic but autocratic predecessor. It was President Park who guided the College through the depression without loss of standards or integrity.
