Abstract
A set of correspondence between Bates President Clifton D. Gray and George S. Ricker, member of the Bates class of 1867 (first graduating class of the college), plus one additional letter from Alumni Secretary Harry Rowe. Much of the correspondence concerns Ricker's disagreement over the College giving retroactive degrees to two women--Sybill Chase Ballard and Francena White Morrell--who went to Bates for a time with the 1867 class but did not graduate. Ricker talks about the events concerning coeducation and the comings and goings of various female students in Bates' first years.
