Lewisburg Seminary was the female branch of the University at Lewisburg now known as Bucknell University. In all of her letters student Libbie Grant talks on the importance of her education. In the first letter she offers to help her recently widowed brother but that school was also a priority for her: "If you want to keep house the rest of the winter I will come tome and do my best. It will seem so hard to board right away. I don't know how I can stay here all next term without seeing any of you but shall content myself if you don't wish me to come. It is for my own benefit to get an education." In the January letter she lists subjects she is taking in school: "I study Grammar Physiology Geography and Astronomy." She gives a lengthier update in the February 3 letter: "I get along very well in my studies much better than I did last term. Miss Brown said there was a mistake made in my report and Scripture is excellent also Spelling. I do not get as homesick as I did last term." In one letter Libbie writes on how nervous she is regarding her future: "When I think of the future I feel sad to think I must wander from place to place." She is likely referring to various places where she would work as a teacher. In the February 13 letter her teacher Miss Brown adds a line about Libbie's next steps likely where she will work as a new teacher: "I trust she will succeed in getting a pleasant school for the summer."<br/><br/>Libbie also writes on financial matters requesting money from her brother for tuition and clothing. She stresses the necessity of new clothes which seem "unnecessary" to her brother Robert Grant residing in rural upstate New York; this highlights some one of the different social challenges that young women from rural backgrounds faced while living in and attending schools in cities. In the February 13 letter she writes about how she needs money for clothes to wear and new shoes; she is clearly distressed as her brother residing in Neversink NY seems unconvinced that new shoes and Church appropriate clothing is necessary. "I write this with my eyes full of tears for I know your thoughts. I know you think these re all unnecessary. They would be if I were home and I could get along with less." Miss Brown's addendum on the following page affirms Libbie's need of money and assures her brother that these items are necessary and his sister is "exceedingly economical." Lewisburg Seminary was originally the female branch of the University at Lewisburg which later became Bucknell University. In 1852 the Female Institute was established to exclusively educate women at the University. All letters in very good condition.

Alphabet cross-stitched in capital and lower case letters with decorative embroidered border and information on maker stitched at bottom: "Mary Ruffle October 25 1815 Aged 9". Samplers were valuable parts of girls' education from the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries as it demonstrated both their skill in needlepoint and their achievements in literacy.

50433Philadelphia: Penn Monthly 1878. Offprint. First separate edition. Octavo. Sewn pamphlet; printed blue paper wrappers; 12pp; errata slip bound in after final leaf of text. Rear wrapper neatly detached; old tide-line to upper margin of front wrapper; text tight and unmarked - a Good complete and sound copy. Signed in type and end of text by Charles F. Dunbar. Article reprinted from the April 1878 issue of Otis Kendall's Penn Monthly in which Stillé's original article had appeared two months earlier. Dunbar an eminent Harvard economist answers the criticisms of Stillé then provost of the University of Pennsylvania who had taken issue with the profferment of the Harvard Preliminary Examination for Women in the city of Philadelphia. Stillé's argument appears to have been based as much on parochialism as criticism of the exam's content; he was at this time working to raise the profile of Penn among elite American universities and resented the incursion of Harvard onto Penn's home turf. But Stillé evinces more than a little snobbery to say nothing of chauvinism in his assertion that ".no hot-house treatment which forces a precocious and unnatural development can ever produce that fruit which is the support and comfort of human life" - an assertion which Dr. Dunbar answers somewhat caustically: "These truths are well-worn and not denied but if they serve in connection any other purpose than that of a modest rhetorical embellishment it is because the relate to some fancied system quite different from that under discussion." <br/><br/>Despite widespread criticisms similar to the ones ably answered by Dunbar in the present essay The Harvard Examinations for Women - quite stringent covering a wide range of subjects and requiring their subjects to answer in at least two languages other than English - eventually became a national standard for the accreditation of young women who were unable whether for reasons of gender or circumstance to attend four-year universities. Stillé meanwhile became one of the University of Pennsylvania's historical icons; ".the extraordinary progress begun in his administration initiated the great expansion that was to continue under his immediate successors." DAB. The pamphlet appears uncommon - though widely catalogued in WorldCat nearly all holdings examined appear to be digital copies of the original held at Harvard's Schlesinger Library. unknown books
