The Ladies Course of 1866-1867 required French and English to complete the three year Ladies Course, "which led to the degree of Mistress of Arts" (Wallace 48).
Between 1867 and 1871 the Ladies Course was discontinued, but LVC President Lucian Hammond (President 1871-1876) brought this course back after 1871 (Wallace 60).
After this the course was dropped again, came back a second time and was given a four year course and degree only to be dropped another time. The Mistress of Arts degree was kept and the given to those ladies who completed the four year Scientific Course (Wallace 72).
