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

194526074New York NY: Not Published 1945. A group of 40 letters and cards; correspondence between a young man and a woman friend who he met and worked with at the Jewish summer Camp Achvah; he later became a student at UC Berkeley. He had also attended the Jewish Camp Cejwin. Mostly the letters are from Edwin Finkelstein to his friend Natalie Levy back in New York with a couple of notes to him from her. The Achvah material is mostly camp gossip and scuttlebutt regarding the owners of the camp who according to the writer took advantage of the counsellors and workers: ".Concerning your job. You will have the same job and privileges as a regular counsellor. That is you will have the same hours curfews time off and days off. In regard to a bonus don't make me laugh last year only one person got a bonus.a whole $ 5. The only reason he got it was because his father did legal work form Mr. Barshad.Don't get involved in any counsellor uprisings.be good to your kids and you will get good tipslast year a good percentage of the girls were willing to go out on strike with the boys." Edwin F. works at Steve Cohen Boys' Camp in Hopewell Junction NY 1946 and writes of his work and play there during that summer; he continues to ask about and advise about Camp Achvah where Natalie is a summer counsellor. He notes that ".Achvah is a dump compared with this placehere were are treated like humans not like dirt." Nevertheless there is a great feeling of camaraderie among those who attend and work at the camps many reunions and get-togethers over the years. The last group of 6 letters are from UC Berkeley and the difficulties of coursework and enjoyments of attending that school and living in California. NOTE: ".In the 1920s and 1930s a recognition began to arise that the summer camp might play a significant role in Jewish education and the socialization of the Jewish child into Judaism. Samson Benderly the first director of New York's Bureau of Jewish Education was the first to recognize the unique opportunity that the summer camp offered for teaching modern Hebrew and other traditional Jewish values through immersing children in a Hebrew and Judaic environment. In 1927 he opened Camp Achvah the first Hebrew-speaking camp in Arverne on New York City's Rockaway peninsula. In 1932 he sought to expand the program and purchased a campsite in a rural setting in upstate Godeffroy New York. The expanded program retained the intensive Judaic program but was not Hebrew speaking as had been the program at the Arverne site." ref. Encyclopaedia Judaica 2007 "Jewish Camping" article. Other social and political events are remarked upon in the letter content for instance the high school student strikes and riots in the boroughs of NYC in 1945 which required police intervention and mention of a similar race related riot in Bergen College New Jersey regarding a disqualified black football player. Most letters with their mailers & cancellations intact; some age-wear and soiling; contents clean and in very good condition. . Manuscript. Not Bound. Very Good. Not Published paperback 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.

Mailing information at rear wrap. Interior clean and bright. Very good. 12pp. <br/><br/>Catalog for the fall 1967 term at the Free School of New York also known as the Free University of New York. Established in 1965 as a reaction to traditional academia FUNY was in the tradition of 1960s protest movements run by committee with open enrollment and granting no degrees. This catalog which lists the school's 24 class offerings demonstrates a focus on the humanities with courses in filmmaking history fine arts and drama. Class offerings were predictably left-leaning with titles like "A Quest for Self" "The Thought of Mao Tse-Tung" and "Black Power and the "Ghetto Uprisings" and the faculty included counterculture figures such as Ed Sanders and Tuli Kupferberg. An ambitious and ephemeral offshoot of the 1960s counterculture movement FUNY closed after only a few years in operation. Free School of New York paperback books
