Using predominantly primary source material derived from university, student, alumni, professor, and administrative accessions at the University of Alberta, this thesis explores how men and women managed to create a campus culture at a time when women were just being introduced to college campuses in Canada. Certain difficulties such as maintaining respectability while in close proximity to men, finding a place for women on campus, and exploring roles for educated women in Canadian society are some of the challenges the female students faced while trying to create an educational environment that was both instructive and meaningful. The solution for the women at the University of Alberta was the formation of the Wauneita Society. The Wauneitas gave women a voice and a presence on campus that as a distinct minority, they would have otherwise been without.engUniversity of Calgary graduate students retain copyright ownership and moral rights for their thesis.
