Women at Williams: The College’s Road to Coeducation
“Women at Williams: the College’s Road to Coeducation,” an exhibit curated by Archivist Sylvia Brown, seeks to uncover the history of the College’s sometimes mixed response to educating women, and sets this against strides made nationally in women’s and other social issues. While we can't welcome you to view the exhibit in person, you can check out the timeline developed for this exhibit online.

“Temperance” beverage
This Fine Temperance Beverage was pretty chunky...lots of lemon pulp, chunks of pineapple, and raspberry seeds. It was also SO SWEET.

Not being a teetotaler myself, I decided to add some "demon alcohol" as suggested in the recipe below the temperance beverage, and do a taste test.

Shishmaref doughnuts
I chose the "Eskimo cook book" to highlight indigenous contributions to our cookbook collection. This book was written by students of a day school in Shishmaref, an Inupiaq town on an island in the Chukchi Sea. The children compiled recipes reflecting the unique combination of indigenous and European-influenced traditions of their town.
