“Meanwhile, another military college in a neighboring state had had women cadets for 20 years before that happened with no problems at all.”
Would you provide the name of the “...military college in a neighboring state...”?
North Georgia? It was co-ed when it opened at the end of reconstruction.
In those days, North GA College, then North Georgia College and State University and now The University of North Georgia. Normally the top ROTC program in the country at summer camp.
