Margaret Morrison Carnegie College - Closing

Closing

Margaret Morrison Carnegie College closed in 1973 due to declining enrollment: "Entering on the coattails of the 1950s were societal and institutional changes that would ultimately seal the fate of MMCC. Homemaking was less apt to be considered a profession; women students were turning increasingly to careers based in the liberal arts and sciences. A steadily climbing enrollment in these fields led to the integration of many MMCC programs into Tech’s other schools."

Famous quotes containing the word closing:

    We got to start thinking beyond our guns. These days are closing fast.
    Walon Green, U.S. screenwriter, and Sam Peckinpaugh (b. 1925)

    And if the stage-dark head rehearse
    The fifth act of the closing night,
    Why, cut it off, piece after piece,
    And throw the tough cortex away....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    From Harmony, from heavenly Harmony
    This universal Frame began:
    From Harmony to Harmony
    Through all the Compass of the Notes it ran,
    The Diapason closing full in Man.
    John Dryden (1631–1700)
