I give in Appendix C, Table I., a list of the co-educational colleges in
the Southern States, prepared for me by the Bureau of Education from the
manuscript statistics for 1889–90. The following so-called colleges have
in no sense a proper equipment nor a proper course of study for enabling
them to deserve the name of college: Eminence, Classical and Business,
South Kentucky, (Ky.); Keachie, (La.); Florida Conference and St. John’s
River (Fla.); Western Maryland, (Md.); Kavanagh, (Miss.); Salado, Hope,
(Tex.) That leaves the following number of students who are in the
collegiate departments of real, white, co-educational colleges in the
South:
Alabama │ 1
────────────────────┼───
Arkansas │ 3
„ │ 22
────────────────────┼───
District of Columbia│ 3

Florida │ 1

Georgia │ 30
Kentucky │ 24
Louisiana │ 77
Maryland │ 25
Mississippi │ 11
North Carolina │ 53
South Carolina │ 10
────────────────────┼───
Tennessee │ 34

Texas │ 40

────────────────────┼───
West Virginia │ 32
„ │ 1
────────────────────┴───
Texas │345
Louisiana │ 77
Other States │328
│———
Total │750
This table discloses the remarkable fact that there are 750 women
studying in such men’s colleges in the South as have a decent claim to
the name of college, and also that Virginia is the only State in the
South that has not got at least some kind of a co-educational college.
