Original caption 2: "Among almost a dozen members of the distaff side who received degrees this June were (left to right): Ella Margreta Paton, Franceline Ann Cullen, Mrs. Cora Sleighter Stackelberg, Marolyn Coffin Kimball, Marilyn Fraser, and Joyce Patricia Davis. The relatively large number of women graduates, in what has commonly been considered to be a school for men, continues to lend emphasis to the co-educational nature of the courses of instruction at the Institute."
