About
Frances Marshall Eagleson (1898—1987) was born in Elizabeth, Kentucky, United States, on July 17, 1898 and raised in Rushville, Indiana. Marshall was the only "colored" student in her graduating class at Rushville High School in 1915, enrolling at Indiana University that fall. Though Marshall entered school in Bloomington on a "financial shoestring," she was able to subsidize the cost of her education by living with a stone executive named Hiram P. Ridley and his family, where she cooked and cleaned in exchange for room and board. The first black woman to graduate from Indiana University, she graduated in 1919 with an associate degree in English and a teaching certificate. After a year of teaching in Florida she began teaching English at North Carolina Central College at Durham in 1921, but went on to earn a graduate degree in educational administration from the University of Chicago and Columbia. Eventually working as a registrar and admissions officer for North Carolina Central University from 1928 to retirement in 1964 (Currently has co-ed dormitory named in her honor - Eagleson Hall). After retirement, Marshall worked as the registrar for two other colleges: Florida Memorial College in St. Augustine, Florida, and Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia.
