16752Women's Educational Movement. Chowan Baptist Female Institute Catalog 1877-1878. The Chowan Baptist Female Institute became Chowan College in 1910 when it began awarding baccalaureate degrees. Unique and personal piece of early Female Education history. 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.Not copy could be found among Institutional Collections according to OCLC Worldcat. unknown books

1707519th c. Women's Education Autograph Letter Signed by student at Western Female Seminary in Oxford OH. Dated "Oct. 19th 1879". Four pages folded from a single sheet. 8 x 5 in. Student "Kate" writes to her mother about student life and the recent gubernatorial elections and upcoming presidential elections; this significantly shows one woman's interest in political affairs years before she was allowed to vote. "The principal topic here for the last week has been the election. I was disappointed that Ewing did not gain but from the way the Republicans carried on after they heard the returns one might have supposed it was the first time they were ever victorious and the last time they time they expected to be.It will be so nice to be at home next Presidential Election." She also writes about going to "the Exposition" and on music performances: "Miss Leonard was so anxious for me to stay a thte musical that I thought too bad to disappoint her after she ahd practiced with me so long." Last page has cross-text writing over it a creative way that writers with limited paper supply could make space for a few more lines. Western Female Seminary was founded in 1853; in 1904 its name changed to Western College for Women. The school grounds are now part of Miami University's Western Campus. Light toning and few stains to last page. In very good condition. A unique and personal piece of early Female Education history. unknown books
17126African American Education Integrated multiracial grade school. c. 1890s-1910. Original silver gelatin print photograph. Mounted on board 8 x 10 in. Photograph dimensions: 6.75 x 8.75 in. Handwritten in blue ink on verso: "Grade School - St Joseph Mo. / Nina Case - Mother of Ninita P. Johnson & Harry E. Potter Jr." 44 students lined up in three rows with female teacher standing behind the last row. 12 of the students appear to be African-American children. Interestingly there is a large age range in the photograph as the youngest students' feet dangle off the ground while the oldest students appear to be several years older. This photograph comes from a rural school as one student in the front row has attended class that day barefoot. In the 19th century more women than ever before were entering the workforce as teachers; for rural teachers such as the one photographed here conditions could be challenging with as many as 60 students in one classroom and limited resources and support. Still women flocked to teaching as it offered independence and sense of purpose outside. Working in education gave many women a window onto a wider world of ideas politics and public usefulness. Mat condition: Light soiling; small losses to all four corners of mat; 1/4 in closed tear in left top edge of mat. Photograph condition: lightly toned; 1 annotation on front of photograph above student's head "X Nina Case"; otherwise photograph is in very good condition. unknown books

191523929New York City N.Y.: Not Published 1915. John Huston Finley 1863 - 1940 American educator and journalist ".selected as president of the City College of New York CCNY whose board of trustees was dominated by Democrats. Backed by these trustees Finley performed at CCNY a transformation similar to the one he had earlier carried out at Knox College except that in New York there was a greater vocational component to the curricular changes he helped initiate. Also the relocation of CCNY's main center from East Twenty-third Street to its neo-Gothic campus in upper Manhattan came about during Finley's presidency. He worked tirelessly to raise CCNY's status to stimulate student pride and to fight off budget reductions demanded by parsimonius trustees and state officials. Not yet a college known for its student radicalism pre-World War I CCNY and its largely Jewish student body basked in its president's benign presence. Personal warmth and accessibility were Finley's main assets." Marvin E. Gettleman in the ANB; approx. 4" x 5" overall size; edge-chipped at top left corner and right border with short closed tear just into the subjects jacket back at closest point; fair to good condition overall. .
