The Co-ed College
Occidental College, the school Janice went to, was a small liberal arts college. It is located in Los Angeles, California, and was established in by Presbyterians in the Eagle Rock neighborhood of Los Angeles, back in 1887. They wanted to learn in Southern California, so they did the logical thing; they established a school over there.

In 1912 and in 1931, the Occidental Board thought of turning the school into an all men’s college. However, it ultimately kept its co-ed status, and it worked out positively for Janice and Prentiss. If Occidental was just a men’s school, they might have never met and fallen in love.
