Abstract
ALTHOUGH THE MARITIMES IS CONSIDERED to have been a leader in the higher education of women, with the first woman graduating from a New Brunswick university in 1875 and the first woman graduating from a Nova Scotia university in 1884, no woman graduated from a PEI university until 1941. 1 St. Dunstan's University, a Catholic institution founded in 1855, was the only university on PEI until 1964, and did not accept any women during its first 84 years. 2 In considering the history of PEI women and university, a myopic focus on the extension of St. Dunstan's admittance policy obscures the initiative of the approximately 500 PEI women who sought university education off the Island before 1942 as well as the leadership of the Sisters of St. Martha in bringing coeducation to PEI.In the 1980s and early 1990s, the history of higher education in Canada was criticized for focusing on institutions rather than students. 3 This bias was corrected somewhat by a proliferation of studies that concentrated on students within specific universities.The experience of women from PEI, however, has escaped examination, perhaps because they had no institution of their own.Prince Edward Island women constituted a unique group of students and provide a unique perspective on the history of higher education in Canada.Perhaps because of the relative poverty of PEI and the absence of a university that accepted women, it has been assumed that PEI women were unlikely to pursue higher education. 4 This assumption may have been fostered by the dominance of 1 Grace Anne Lockhart graduated from Mount Allison with a BSc in English Literature in 1875 and was also the first woman to earn a university degree in the British Empire; see

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
