History
Dean Dorothy Mawdsley established Buttercup Enterprises Ltd. in 1941 and its headquarters was in Mawdsley's office.This agency aimed to find female students babysitting work to aid in the war effort and make students some money. Students were paid 0.50c up to midnight and 0.25c after that. A rival agency was set up by two male students in early 1942 called Buttercup Enterprises (Male) Incorporated. This was setup as an exclusively male operation.
