Greetings and salutations, ertswhile companions! Isn’t it grand to be alive in the Year of Our Lord 1906?

In the grand year of 1872, Wesleyan University began opening its doors to womenfolk like myself. This year, 1906, I boarded an aeroplane, care of Anachronistic Airlines, and arrived in Middletown in a new petticoat and dress. I had planned to live in a humbly furnished home with three lovely girls.

I arrived at school last month with the hope of permanently leaving the weevil-infested orphanage I once called home. After I arrived, though, I was greeted with the rudest chorus of names and obscenities you could think of. Even my roommate urinated on me as I slept.

A most disturbing outbreak of thefts has the Wesleyan campus all a-gossip as we enter the lovely days of the New England autumn.

With the new class of 1910, Wesleyan University has made great strides to diversify its student population by admitting men from a slightly wider array of economic backgrounds.
