Source: Compiled from College Catalogs, administrative databases, and College Archives. Bates was the first coeducational college in New England, admitting students without regard to race, religion, national origin, or gender. Unfortunately, a complete and detailed enrollment history by gender prior to 1970-71 could not be reconstructed from existing documents.
