    The Changing Face of Women’s Sports at Duke: From Throwing Like a Girl to Competing with the Men
    (2006-12) Rowbury, Shannon
    This paper sets out to examine what sports looked like for Duke women at different stages in the University’s history: How have administrative attitudes evolved, and what has been the ensuing effect on student involvement? Since the administration sets out the expectations, it establishes the norm for students. I have chosen to analyze four distinct periods in the history of women’s sports and athletics at Duke: the 1930s, the 1950s, the Title IX transition, and today’s Title IX aftermath.

    Walking a Fine Line
    (2006-12) Decker, Bobbie
    In this essay, I examine the social disparity between the genders at Duke University, focusing on two critical time periods – the first decades of the founding of The Woman’s College and Trinity College from the mid 1920’s to late 1930’s and the politically transitional period of the early 1960’s to early 1970’s. I believe these phases juxtapose a rigidly defined society and critical period of challenging the norm for women. I also believe that these two periods best represent the university’s response to changing social standards. In respect to the social atmosphere at the University, I specifically focus on the dating culture and dating policies. I will not analyze an intermediate period, as I feel that there is insignificant change between these eras. Additionally, I will not focus on a later period because I think that after the dissolution of The Woman’s College and the integration of women into Duke University, differing policies concerning gender are not as explicitly stated.

    "Why Did I Get In?"
    (2007-05-04) Walters, Margaret
    Admissions policies have adapted a fluid construct, allowing for changes that suit the upcoming academic year. This paper will describe the changing admissions policies that characterized the 1930s and the 1970s, looking specifically at the changes associated with The Woman’s College and later, the changes made during the merge of The Woman’s College and Trinity College. The overlying question from which each aspect of the paper is constructed is “Why did I get in?”
