Elsie was the only woman to be admitted to electrical engineering at this time, or any other engineering course. The was however one other woman in the School of Practical Science: Betty Lalour who was studying architecture. Despite Betty's presence, there was concern as to how Elsie's presence would affect the class of 1927 (2T7). Elsie quickly demonstrated to her male classmates however that she was there to stay and was willing and able to make important contributions!
