Coeducation College From the outset, Thiel College was coeducational; four women were among the eight graduates in 1875. At the first commencement in 1874, Dr. Henry Eyster Jacobs, former principal of Thiel Hall and later a professor at Gettysburg, said in the main address, "The great work before this institution is to develop the Christian life of the rapidly increasing Lutheran population of western Pennsylvania and its adjacent territory." |
