On it glistened, like a newly scoured pie-plate, the emblem of his authority an immense nickel star as big as a sunflower.
S. M. Block. By act of the General Assembly of 1918 women were admitted to William and Mary College. They were admitted to the graduate and professional schools of the University of Virginia by act of the Board of Visitors in 1920.
