Design for a Duchess handbook

Design for a Duchess handbook

The Social Standards Committee at the Duke Woman's College created and distributed an annual handbook with tips for incoming Duke “co-eds” (female students) from 1930 to 1972, which includes guidelines for dress and information about social events. Although social life was important to the Woman's College students, they were also known for their excellent academic performance and leadership in extracurricular activities.
