As she rose my whole compassion I could not do otherwise as to give her the promise to write to you. I am of the opinion dear Sir that it would indeed be for her best if she could stay here at least six months longer and I am convinced that if it is in your power dear Sir you will readily grant the petition in her behalf. You will be so kind as to let me know your intention on this head as soon as is convenient to you and I shall then act according as you think proper."

Women's Academy and Seminary Archive recording the first important movement of women into higher education in the United States seminary was synonymous with "academy" and did not have the religious connotation of today-This is an important point but seems awkwardly placed. Maybe either use the phrase "into secular higher education" in first sentence or in next sentence say "In the 1800's the Female Academy and Seminary Movement transformed American educational norms allowing women the opportunity to receive secular non-religious college-level education<br/><br/>Women's colleges proliferated in the mid- to late- 19th century to fill the void created by their exclusion from most institutions of higher education. The prevailing notion that women were too delicate for a rigorous academic education was openly challenged when Elizabeth Cady Stanton spoke at the Seneca Falls Convention of 1848 "Man's intellectual superiority cannot be a question until woman has had a fair trial.When we shall have had our colleges our professions our trades for a century a comparison then may be justly instituted." Young women were quick to step up to the challenge; as quickly as female colleges opened they filled up. This document dates 10 years before Seneca Falls. unknown books

"I dread my compositions here more than anything. Some of the young ladies write so beautifully. I am very glad you have decided to let me take lessons. I wanted to move on account of improving in my singing. I practice the scales. I am going to try to improve all my advantages to the utmost. When I first came here the girls the wild ones thought as I was "green" I would be a good tool for their jokes. So every moment there was a good opportunity one of them in particular would say or do something to make me appear confused. It would come frequently at table and I invariably made her appear exceedingly mean. Not intentional but in clearing myself I made her of course look blank.There does not seem to be one of the girls who dislike me. There are many first rate ones." "My room-mate I like a little better.She is a very pleasant girl. She loves to have fun and frolic as well as ever. Poor girl she has had to go through the fire like the rest of us."

16762Women's Education Movement: Wheaton Female Seminary Catalog 1869. Chronological Catalog "tracing the history of the school from 1834 to the publication date of 1869. Blue wrappers. Founded in 1834 Wheaton is one of the oldest institutions of higher education for women in the United States. Wheaton's founding was brought about when Eliza Wheaton Strong the daughter of Judge Laban. Wheaton died at the age of thirty-nine. Eliza Baylies Chapin Wheaton the judge's daughter-in-law persuaded him to memorialize his daughter by founding a female seminary. The family called upon noted women's educator Mary Lyon for assistance in establishing the seminary. Lyon created the first curriculum with the goal that it be equal in quality to those of men's colleges. She also provided the first principal Eunice Caldwell. Wheaton Female Seminary opened in Norton Massachusetts on 22 April 1835 with 50 students and three teachers. Mary Lyon and Eunice Caldwell left Wheaton to open Mount Holyoke Female Seminary in 1837 now Mount Holyoke College. Following their departure Wheaton endured a period of fluctuating enrollment and frequent changes in leadership until 1850 when Caroline Cutler Metcalf was recruited as the new principal. Mrs. Metcalf made the hiring of outstanding faculty her top priority bringing in educators who encouraged students to discuss their ideas rather than to memorize facts. The most notable addition to the faculty were Lucy Larcom who introduced the study of English Literature and founded the student literary magazine The Rushlight ; and Mary Jane Cragin who used innovative techniques to teach geometry and made mathematics the favorite study of many students.

Coxe writes to a colleague in shock over his sudden dismissal. Stating in part: "I cherish very pleasant memories of your kindness in the past and trust that nothing may grow out of this matter to mar our friendship.I regard the action of the Committee as neither just kind nor courteous.Up to the meeting of the Comm. In May I had never received any intimation that the Comm. or the patrons of the school were dissatisfied with my administration.I had been repeatedly assured that the Comm. Neither desired nor designed any change.until your dec. waited on me with a notice that my services were no longer required.I should have estimated it a relief to have retired from the school but to my suggestion to that effect many of my brothers said "No!" At that time I could have easily adjusted my affairs to a change and retired with no discredit secured work elsewhere and been unembarrassed by any such difficulties as now beset my way." Despite his overall frustration with the situation Coxe writes"I have no other wish than for the prosperity of the school." This was a period of changes for the institution which was founded earlier as Newbury Seminary; in 1868 it expanded as Vermont Conference Seminary and Female College in 1868 and just three years later in 1871 it was again renamed Vermont Methodist Seminary and Female College.
