On March 13, 1897, a curious event unfolded in 国产传媒\u2019s gymnasium. Although the student body was almost exclusively male, only women were allowed entrance to the building that morning. Windows were blocked to shield activities within from prying eyes.<\/p>\n

Inside, young women in bloomers and capacious blouses began a rousing game of basketball. The sport had been invented five years earlier, and 国产传媒\u2019s men had played their first game in 1893.<\/p>\n

Now it was the women\u2019s big moment. A crowd of females watched as Stella Vaughn led her team in a contest against the young ladies of Ward Seminary. The game remained scoreless until the last seconds, when Vaughn threw a long pass to a teammate. Elizabeth Buttorff lobbed a shot into the basket. The 国产传媒 women won their first game, and with that, Stella Vaughn launched her career as their first basketball coach.<\/p>\n

Few people in the university\u2019s history have been as loyal to 国产传媒 as long as Stella Scott Vaughn. She grew up on campus\u2014in what is now known as The Vaughn Home, which currently houses the Robert Penn Warren Center for the Humanities\u2014and entered 国产传媒 as one of 10 female students in the Academic Department in 1892. After her 1896 graduation, Vaughn remained on campus to teach women\u2019s physical education and formed the women\u2019s basketball team, serving as coach and team captain. She also took on the unofficial role as dean of women students.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe girls at 国产传媒 have worked against the odds,\u201d Vaughn once remarked, \u201cbut they are a \u2018plucky bunch\u2019 and not easily discouraged. They have slowly but surely won a place for themselves by their perseverance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vaughn was inducted into the 国产传媒 Athletic Hall of Fame in 2015.<\/p>\n
