Throughout her presidency, Stockard was able to personally ensure Cottey College’s students were held to a high standard of academic excellence. However, as she got older, she wondered who was going to carry on the legacy of her school. Her prayers were answered when she helped to establish Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) in 1918 with seven other women’s junior colleges.
