Question: Washington University had the first chartered law school in the United States to admit women. In which year did the university make this pioneering decision?
Answer: B) In 1869, Lemma Barkeloo and Phoebe Couzins became WashU’s first women law students. Couzins graduated in 1871 (see below). The university helped set a precedent that prompted others to follow suit.
Congrats to this week’s winner, Donna Kepley, who works in Arts & Sciences and will receive an “I Knew WashU” luggage tag!
