520 " Like pearls threaded one-by-one to form a necklace, five
women successively nurtured students on the Purdue
University campus in America's heartland during the 1930s
to 1990s. Individually, each became a legendary dean of
women or dean of students. Collectively, they wove a
sisterhood of mutual support in their common--sometimes
thwarted--pursuit of shared human rights and equality for
all. Dorothy C. Stratton, Helen B. Schleman, M. Beverley
Stone, Barbara I. Cook, and Betty M. Nelson opened new
avenues for women and became conduits for change,
fostering opportunities for all people. They were loved by
students and revered by colleagues. The women also were
respected throughout the United States as founding leaders
of the Coast Guard Women's Reserve (SPARS), frontrunners
in the National Association of Women Deans and Counselors,
and as pivotal members of presidential committees in the
Kennedy and Nixon administrations. While it is focused on
changing attitudes on one college campus, The Deans' Bible
sheds light on cultural change in America as a whole,
exploring how each of the deans participated nationally in
the quest for equality. The story rolls through the
"picture-perfect," suppressive 1950s, the awakening 1960s,
women's liberation, Title IX, 1980s AIDS and alcohol
epidemics, the changing mores for the disabled, and ends
in the twenty-first century. As each woman succeeded the
other, forming a five-dean friendship, they knitted their
bond with a secret symbol--a Bible. Originally possessed
by Purdue's first part-time Dean of Women Carolyn
Shoemaker, the Bible was handed down from dean to dean
with favorite passages marked. The lowercased word "bible"
is often used in connection with reference works or
"guidebooks." The Deans' Bible serves as a guidebook,
brimming with stories of courageous women who led by
example and lived their convictions"--|cProvided by
