While the Founders reorganized Alpha Chapter in the fall of 1907, Elizabeth Coulter Stephenson was embarking on advanced work at Cornell University in New York state. At that time, a woman college graduate was rare and a female pursuing graduate studies was even rarer. However, Bess as she was affectionately known, came from a family with a long history of women pursuing higher education. Bess attended the country school near her home in the country near Oxford, Ohio and at the age of fourteen went to high school in Oxford. She graduated in 1898 with a high grade point average and went on to Oxford College to further her education. She was attracted to this one of the two women’s colleges in Oxford by the fact that her grandmother, a great aunt and her mother were all alumnae of the institution.
