“Enid Cook entered Bryn Mawr in 1927. She majored in chemistry and biology and in 1931 became the first African-American woman to graduate from the college. Cook lived in the home of a Bryn Mawr professor her freshman year and then with a black family in town during her remaining years. She earned a Ph.D. in bacteriology from the University of Chicago in 1937.” (Linda Perkins, “Racial Integration at the Seven Sister Colleges,” The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education)
