The other women's college in Missouri is Stephens
College,
a four-year women's college in Columbia, very close to MU and even
older, having been founded in 1833. Stephens is a liberal arts
college with the emphasis being on dance, theater and fashion. In
2006, U.S. News and World Report named Stephens College Theater as the
number two college theater in America. Their list of alumni, I
was surprised to see, includes Annie Potts, one of my all-time favorite
comic actresses, and Dawn Wells (Mary Ann from Gilligan's Island).
