The Evanston College for Ladies was a women's college in Evanston, Illinois between 1871 and 1873.[1] Female students attended classes at Northwestern University, resided at the college, and attended supplemental courses such as fine arts, foreign language, and housekeeping. The mission of the Evanston College for Ladies was to give women access to Northwestern University similar to that which was granted to men.[2] The college was merged with Northwestern University on June 25, 1873.[3]
