The rise of women's higher education in the United States began in the late nineteenth century, but in many institutions, especially in Texas, women did not receive the same caliber education as men. However, Add-Ran College, established in Thorp Spring, Texas in 1873 by brothers Addison and Randolph Clark, was a remarkable exception. Coeducational from its beginning, Add-Ran College offered female students the opportunity to follow the same curriculum alongside their male peers, when most other institutions in the country segregated their students by sex, one way or another. Over the next three decades, Add-Ran's policies towards women and coeducation continued to become more liberal, providing a place for women to experience higher education free from many of the constraints of other schools.
