Description
Wheaton Seminary: A Semi-Centennial Sketch is a book written by Lucy Larcom in 1885. The book is a historical account of the first fifty years of Wheaton Seminary, a women's college located in Norton, Massachusetts. The author, Lucy Larcom, was a poet and educator who had a personal connection to the school, having taught there for several years.The book begins with a brief overview of the founding of the school in 1834 by Eliza Baylies Wheaton, a devout Christian woman who believed in the importance of education for women. The author then goes on to describe the early years of the school, including its struggles and successes, and the role of its first principal, Mary Lyon.Throughout the book, Larcom provides detailed descriptions of the curriculum, faculty, and student life at Wheaton Seminary, as well as the various challenges the school faced over the years. She also includes anecdotes and personal stories of some of the notable alumnae of the school, including Mary Lyon herself.Overall, Wheaton Seminary: A Semi-Centennial Sketch is a fascinating look at the history of a pioneering women's college in the United States, written by a respected educator and poet who was intimately familiar with the school and its mission.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
