1905171201905. Lasell College Massachusetts student life Photograph album circa 1905 to 1906 documents the daily academic and social experience of women enrolled at one of the earliest institutions in the United States dedicated to higher education for women. Founded in 1851 as the Auburndale Female Seminary and later developed into Lasell College the institution combined academic instruction with training in domestic science art and music at a time when women's access to formal education remained limited. The album records student participation in dormitory life theatrical production and ceremonial traditions providing evidence of how women engaged in structured educational environments that expanded beyond domestic expectations. It supports research into women's education student culture and the institutional history of early American colleges for women.<br /> <br /> Album consists of 108 original silver gelatin photographs mounted across 48 pages housed in original black cloth boards measuring approximately 10" x 12.5". Photographs range in size from approximately 2" x 3" to 4" x 6". Images depict dormitory interiors student gatherings theatrical performances May Day celebrations and graduation exercises with students in cap and gown. Additional views show the Lasell campus in Newton Massachusetts as well as excursions to nearby locations including Wellesley. Interior scenes include period details such as a 1906 calendar and collegiate ephemera referencing Harvard University. The album is associated with original owner Leila Hoffman whose perspective structures the selection and captioning of images.<br /> <br /> Created during a period when women's colleges were expanding curricula and institutional reach the album reflects Lasell's emphasis on combining academic rigor with practical and cultural training including its administration of Harvard examinations and provision of courses in fields such as law. The documentation of performances celebrations and peer relationships illustrates how such institutions fostered both intellectual development and social identity among students. As a visual record of campus life in the early twentieth century the album contributes to understanding the lived experience of women in higher education during a transformative period in American educational history.

Although part of a broken set these later two volumes are a meaningful adjunct to any library. <strong>In his day Newton's writings were well accepted – today they are more often seen as an example of man's gullibility. </strong> <strong>Thomas Newton</strong> 1 January 1704 – 14 February 1782 was an English cleric biblical scholar and author. He served as the Bishop of Bristol from 1761 to 1782. Newton was educated at Trinity College Cambridge and was subsequently elected a fellow of Trinity. He was ordained in the Church of England and continued scholarly pursuits. His more remembered works include his annotated edition of <em>Paradise Lost</em> including a biography of John Milton published in 1749. In 1754 he published a large scholarly analysis of the prophecies of the Bible titled <em>Dissertations on the Prophecies</em>. In his 1761 edition of Milton's poetry he gave the title <em>On His Blindness</em> to Sonnet XIX <em>When I Consider How My Light is Spent</em>. Newton was appointed the Bishop of Bristol in 1761 and in 1768 became the Dean of St Paul's Cathedral in London. He has been considered a Christian universalist. One of Newton's famous quotes concerns the Jewish people: <em>The preservation of the Jews is really one of the most signal and illustrious acts of divine Providence. and what but a supernatural power could have preserved them in such a manner as none other nation upon earth hath been preserved. Nor is the providence of God less remarkable in the destruction of their enemies than in their preservation. We see that the great empires which in their turn subdued and oppressed the people of God are all come to ruin. And if such hath been the fatal end of the enemies and oppressors of the Jews let it serve as a warning to all those who at any time or upon any occasion are for raising a clamor and persecution against them. </em> Rebound</p> John Rivington hardcover
