17017Women Education Photo Album Elmira NY Female College Class of 1862 album. 42 original photographs each aprox 1.5 x 1.25 in. Nearly all photos are identified with handwritten captions. 114 pages 53 pages overall have been used for photos writing or both. All entries dated 1861-1862. Light brown leather boards. 8 x 5.25 in. Titled on cover with gilt design of an autograph book and a quill pen surrounded by ivy "Autographs." The book is full of signatures and small oval portraits of the girls who were the 1862 class of Elmira College. Along with signatures of her classmates the owner of this book has some signatures from people of the town of Elmira New York Augustus W. Cowles President of the collegeand other other instructors. One page has been illustrated with the outline of a pile of letters into which girls have written their names addresses and messages. It would be several decades more before Academic yearbooks as we know them now with photographs and names of individual students and graduates became common. At this time the typical "Annual" was a small catalog that acted as a memento of students attending and also as advertising with general business catalog information concerning the school inside. School photos of any kind were highly uncommon. This student's personally made yearbook containing photographs and names of a large portion of her classmates as well as teacher's and college president is an extremely unique women's educational history item. Leather on spine is mostly absent or pulling away though internal hinges are sound. Good to very good condition.<br/><br/>The New York-area college is the oldest still in existence which granted degrees to women equivalent of those given to man. Elmira College was first conceived on in 1851 with the intention of creating a college that would grant degrees to women equal to those of men. The first students arrived in October 1855 though the rooms had not yet been completely furnished and the furnace was not yet working. Also not all of the students were ready for college-level work. In September 1855 Rev. Augustus W. Cowles visited the campus and the following year was offered the position of president. Vassar's first president modeled the acceptance requirements and curriculum of his school upon those of Elmira. The members of the first graduating class received diplomas in 1859 only 2 years before this album was created. The college faced a difficult beginning. The student body was minuscule; in 1884 only three students were in the graduating class. Two reasons for this situation were the national tumult caused by the Civil War and the opening of other colleges that admitted women. Dr. Cowles believed that a problem was the perception that Elmira was only on the level of a boarding school. He stressed hiring better professors to secure larger graduating classes. . unknown books
1918185121918. Women's basketball photograph archive 1918-1929 documents the early institutionalization of women's competitive athletics in the United States recording team organization uniform development and player identification in the decades following the sport's introduction to women's education. Basketball adapted for women in the 1890s under the direction of physical educator Senda Berenson at Smith College expanded into intercollegiate and regional competition by the early twentieth century despite ongoing debate over women's participation in organized sport.

All images are formal team portraits with groups of six to twelve players in some cases accompanied by coaches. Many photographs include handwritten identifications on versos naming players or teams. Several compositions feature a central player holding a basketball marked with team initials and year. The photographs document changes in athletic dress including high top sneakers short skirts sailor style tops and later variations incorporating shorts reflecting evolving standards of movement and athletic practicality.

The progression of uniforms and team structures across the decade offers evidence of shifting expectations regarding women's physical activity and public visibility in competitive environments.

Spurred on by the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7 1941 Congress approved the creation of WAAC on May 14 1942 to enhance the US military force and staff non-combat roles with women workers to create a larger male fighting force; they realized that women could supply additional resources desperately needed in both military and industrial sectors.

They drove trucks repaired airplanes worked as laboratory technicians rigged parachutes served as radio operators analyzed photographs and more.
