January 30, 1919: The First Semester of Coeducation Comes to a Close

Final exams for the first semester of co-education at the College of William and Mary came to end on January 30, 1919. Students did not have much time for a break as students had to register for the next semester's courses on January 31 with the new semester beginning the following day. Talk about needing a break!
