1891 - 1991

—Excellence through Equity —

For the first 22 years, West Virginia University was an all-male institution.

In 1889, 10 brave women enrolled as degree candidates.

In 1891, one of these women, Hariet Eliza Lyon, graduated first in her class.

One-hundred years later, WVU honored this historic occasion.
