Bryn Mawr holds a very high percentage of the "college girl" books and series novels published around the turn of the twentieth century. The following is a list of our holdings up to 1930. Some series begin with the leading character in high school; although we have many of those books, they are not listed here. We do include series books from after the lead character's college years if the characters, location, and concerns are carried through. IN some cases we hold a later edition; the date listed is that fo the copy we hold. The few items marked with asterisks are desiderata.
