Intersectional and Intrasectional Marriages in a Southern Bible College. 16 Years Later

years ago that southern women have a decided edge on northern women in matrimonial chances. Formerly, northern men frequently married northern or southern women, but southern men rarely married northern women. Both studies were carried out at the same coeducational, interdenominational degree-granting Bible college located in the deep South. Both deal with (1) the sectionality (North, South) of the college's first-year students since 1933, (2) the sectionality of each student who married a fellow student, and (3) an inquiry as to whether these fellow-student marriages were intersectional or intrasectional. The 1956 study was of 61 intersectional and intrasectional marriages from 1923 to 1947, while the present study is of 246 marriages from 1948 to 1963. The names of all the first-year students included in both studies appear in the college's catalogs since 1933, and the names of all the students married to fellow students appear in the September, 1963 Alumni Directory of the college. The term covers the same states as the 1956 study: Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas
