History & Fun Facts

  • Its original charter was granted by the Republic of Texas (prior to statehood) in 1845 as the female department of Baylor University.
  • Classes began in May, 1846, in a small wooden building on a hillside at Independence in Washington County.
  • The first class consisted of 24 male and female students.
  • Baylor College's coeducation lasted only until 1851, when it was divided into a Female Department and a Male Department.
  • In 1905, a permanent residence hall for the Cottage Home System was built by the residents themselves.
