Their effort failed, but within twenty years Barnard College was founded, creating a refuge for women scholars at Columbia, as well as an academic beachhead ""from which women would make incursions into the larger university."" By 1950, Columbia was granting more advanced degrees to women and hiring more female faculty than any other university Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 363-373) and index Notes Print version record Subject Columbia University -- History -- 20th century Columbia University -- Admission -- History -- 20th century SUBJECT Columbia University fast Subject Feminism and higher education -- New York (State) -- New York -- History -- 20th century Women in higher education -- New York (State) -- New York -- History -- 20th century Coeducation -- New York (State) -- New York -- History -- 20th century EDUCATION -- Higher.
