The&nbsp;<em>Blue Hen<\/em>&nbsp;title was adopted in 1911. Until the implementation of co\u2013education in 1945, the&nbsp;<em>Blue Hen<\/em>&nbsp;included only the all\u2013male Delaware College. The yearbook of the Women\u2019s College of Delaware, which began operation in 1914, was called the&nbsp;<em>Blue and Gold<\/em>. In 1946, the&nbsp;<em>Blue Hen<\/em>&nbsp;became the official yearbook of the newly co\u2013educational institution.
