Hollins College, a women's liberal arts college, was founded as the coeducational Valley Union Seminary in Roanoke, North Carolina in 1842. In 1854, it became Virginia's first women's college changing its name to Hollins Institute three years later. It was renamed Hollins College in 1911 and Hollins University in 1998. Hollins University has offered graduate programs since 1958. All undergraduates are female while graduate programs accept males.
Euzelian Society began in 1855 by four Hollins College students as a literary society, which contributed books and held readings. Euzelian means "Good Style" in Greek. They created a handwritten literary magazine named The Album in the 1870s. Along with the Euepian Literary Society, it published The Annual beginning in 1886. In 1915, they renamed it the Hollins Quarterly. They also began their own library in 1880.
