The University of Montevallo is a four-year public university located in Montevallo, Alabama, USA. Stephens College of Business, College of Arts and Sciences, College of Education, College of Fine Arts, and graduate studies in English, Speech-Language Pathology and Education. The University of Montevallo opened October 1896 as the Alabama Girls’ Industrial School (AGIS), a women-only technical school that also offered high school-level courses. AGIS became the Alabama Girls’ Technical Institute in 1911, further adding “and College for Women” in 1919. The school gradually phased into being a traditional degree-granting institution, becoming Alabama College, State College for Women in 1923. The school’s supporters lobbied the Alabama Legislature which passed a bill on January 15, 1956 that dropped the designation “State College for Women”, effectively making the school coeducational ( though its student body still maintains a 7:5 ratio of women to men). On September 1, 1969, Alabama College was renamed the University of Montevallo. The oldest tradition at Montevallo is called College Night, an intramural competition between the Purple Side and the Gold Side. The tradition officially began on March 3, 1919, in honor of the school adding the name “college” to its title. College Night originated as a liberal arts school’s response to its lack of a “proper Homecoming” – meaning a football game. The fact that College Night is the oldest college homecoming tradition in the U.S. has been recorded for posterity by Alex Trebek – it has been a question (or rather, answer) on Jeopardy!

I attended Alabama College 1958-Dec. '60. I studied pipe organ with Betty Louise Lumby. I haven't heard from her for two Christmases and would love to know if she is OK. She meant so much to so many of us. I wish I had never transferred away from Montevallo. I loved it there and should have stayed, but that's hindsight. Thank you for any information you can give me.
