About the Name Changes:
When CWC was founded in 1888, it was named
Colorado Woman's College (with womAN). In 1966,
it was renamed Temple Buell College. After the Temple
Buell College era (1966 - 1973), the board of trustees
voted to revise the use of "woman" in the college name to "women" to emphasize the purpose of CWC -
to educate many women.
From the book, Colorado Women's College, The Story of
a Dream by Professor Wallace B. Turner, "...the Colorado Women's College name described, better than any other
name could, both the college's splendid location and
distinctive function".
The CWCAA chose to use the original seal with the
womAN spelling, and the womEN spelling in our title
to honor all of the women who attended the college.
