1867List3419Morganton North Carolina 1867. Manuscript document measuring 5 ¼ x 8 inches. Near Fine. An 1867 document confirming the receipt of $1000 for building a school for freed African Americans in Morganton North Carolina. The document reads:<br /> <br /> “$1000<br /> Morganton N.C.<br /> Dec’r 16th 1867<br /> Received of Major Hannibal D. Norton Sub-ass’t Com’r Bureau R.F. A.L. One Thousand dollars in full for erecting a School-building on land purchased by Freedmen in Morganton N.C. as per contract dated August 31 1867.<br /> Check No. 1135 on Raleigh Nat B’k<br /> for $1000.00 signed by Bt Lt Col J. A. Claywell / Jesse Strabo Nelson<br /> T. P. Johnson C.Q.M. D.O. S.N.C.â€<br /> <br /> Brevet Lt. Col. Thomas P. Johnson appears in other North Carolinian Freedmen’s Bureau documents; the abbreviation after his name likely stands for Chief Quartermaster and Disbursing Officer State of North Carolina. The two witnesses Claywell likely James Addison and Nelson were both active in the Methodist church; Claywell was superintendent of the Morganton Methodist Sunday School and Nelson a Methodist reverend. Neither man’s obituary mentions any involvement with the Freedmen’s Bureau.<br /> <br /> The school is not identified by any name but is mentioned in a March 1868 report by Hannibal Norton the Freedmen’s Bureau agent. The building was located at Union and Water now Bouchelle Streets and hosted three schools day night and Sabbath; had one teacher an African American man named Joseph Nicholas; and was paid for by the students’ parents. The report describes difficulty in raising money to pay for more buildings teachers and books and notes that “The public sentiment is adverse to the education of Freedmen and Poor Whites.â€1 Given the area’s poverty indicated by Norton’s report the fundraising by formerly enslaved people to buy land for the school must have taken remarkable effort and sacrifice—education was a critical cause for African Americans and significant progress was made during Reconstruction in spite of poverty and violent backlash.<br /> <br /> 1 “North Carolina United States records†images FamilySearch https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C9TC-6PJVview=explore image 104 of 567; United States National Archives and Records Administration.

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. No copy could be found among Institutional or library Collections according to OCLC Worldcat. <br/><br/>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. 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. 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. unknown books

With Original mailing envelope with return address of the Institute printed and original postal stamp on envelope "Mar 3". A young female student "Allie" writes to her mother in Columbus Ohio. Handwritten in purple ink. Allie writes to her mother about her medical history amid an outbreak of Measles and Mumps at school. She writes in part: "I thought I would write and ask you if I have ever had the Measles as we have them in school now. If I have not I don't want to have them here. One of the girls is going home Saturday. She is exposed and has never had them & she is going home to have them. This is a mighty poor place to get sick. I never thought the Measles ended in such serious things as they do sometimes that is if you get cold. The girls were talking about the different way in which they effect persons. The mumps are raging too." She also writes on dormitory life and missing her family. "I am very homesick & got the blues but then that is nothing new as I have them all the time & I can't get rid of them mo matter what I do. My box is all gone but a little piece of bitters but we are not in a hurry to get rid of that for we will not get any more so good for a while. Those Quinces were splendid that I made much better than I expected they would be. When I wrote to England I sent them my picture which I had taken in this fall" The Young Ladies' Institute was chartered in 1858 and later developed into The Shepardson College for Women; in 1900 Shepardson was incorporated into Denison University. Original fold lines. In very good condition. This early letter is a unique and personal piece of early Female Education history. unknown books
1709619th c. Education Handwritten letter from Principal of Vermont Methodist Seminary and Female College in Montpelier VT. July 18 1874. On official letterhead for the Seminary. 4 pages. 8 x 5 inches. Principal of the school J.C.W. 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. At this time educational opportunities for women were expanding as more women began working in field of teaching and education. In very good condition.
