Louise C. Cole transferred to the college from LeMoyne College for the spring 1947 semester. She intended to only study for one semester and return to her program. There isn't much known about Louise from this time, she wasn't shared in any College bulletins aside from her announcement of joining the student body.

In her application to the school, she shared that she worked as a cashier in a local theater from 1942 to 1947 and she was interested in studying dramatics and working with children. Her application also outlined her goal in attending the College, "I expect to gain knowledge of how all people may cooperate at work and play and by doing so accomplish a goal in human relations that we need in our society." She studied under Theodore Rondthaler, who wrote a recommendation back to LeMoyne, as well as, Music, Human Relations, Chorus, and Sociology.
