The LaGrange College catalogs (or catalogues and bulletins as they were sometimes called) are available on line beginning in 1848. The early bulletins contain the names of the alumnae and their date of graduation.  These catalogs also contain interesting information about the governance of LaGrange Female College and which later became LaGrange College.  Just put in LaGrange College + date in the Search.
