"We hope that the co-eds of the future coming in greater numbers will follow in the footsteps of our brother athletes and bring glory to Carolina." "We've worked under disadvantages," Catherine Boyd, a participant in early women's club and intramural teams, wrote for Carolina Magazine in 1922, 50 years before the enactment of Title IX.
