WOMEN EDUCATION DUNBAR Charles F.
Reply to Dr. Stillé's Strictures on the Harvard Examinations for Women wrapper title
Philadelphia: 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

African American Education 19th Century Lincoln Institute
Four Photographs of Students of the Lincoln Institute
Jefferson City: S. Winans Photographer 1870. Carte-de-visite photographs measuring 3 ¾ x 2 ¼ on slightly larger mounts versos with the decorative stamp of S. Winans photographer 126 High St. Jefferson City. Some fading to images else about fine quite well preserved near fine overall. Near Fine. The Lincoln Institute of Jefferson City Missouri had its roots in the educational programs set up for soldiers of the 62nd Colored Regiment during the Civil War most of whom were from Missouri. After the war with $6000 raised from donations a group led by the white abolitionist officer Richard Foster set up the Lincoln Institute in Jefferson City. The student body was entirely African-american with the faculty a mix of African-American and white. The state of Missouri provided additional funding. <br /> <br /> Collected here are four portraits of students of the institute likely taken in the founding decade before the carte-de-visite format was replaced by the cabinet card. The photographer S. Winans took the photographs likely in his Jefferson City gallery as they are all staged in a formal portrait gallery. Winans also took a well known portrait of David W. Wallace the father of Bess Wallace Truman. Quite uncommon - we find no other record of these images elsewhere. S. Winans, Photographer unknown books

19th c. Women Education Archive
Archive of 5 Letters and notes from 1878 a Girl Student at Chowan Baptist Female Institute one the earliest institution of female education in the United States
19th c. Women's Education Archive consist of 4 Autograph Letters and 1 Autograph Note by a girl student at Chowan Baptist Female Institute in Murfreesboro NC. 1878. The 4 handwritten letters are addressed from Josephine Somers to her younger brother "Allie" in Matthews County VA. The letters are dated Jan. 1878; April 14 1878; May 1878; and June 9 1878. In the first letter Josephine writes on school life and encourages her young brother's education: "I pay you very many complements for your writing. I think you can write very well. You have improved very much and I hope you may continue to improve. You must keep trying to learn. I am trying to learn all I can. I study with all my might I think I am doing very well." In the May letter she writes on school life and social outings: "I went on the excursion and had a very good time. We went on Saturday so you see we did not take any school time to go. We went to Chowan County and we went ashore and had a picnic we had ice lemonade and cake besides other things." She also writes about the upcoming journey home at the end of the schoolyear: "I expect I will have to come home by myself. Yates is going to Princesann Princess Anne Co. after school is over. Yates and I will part in Norfolk and we may part forever for all I know. The final letter has a more alarmed tone as Josephine urgently asks her brother for information on their Mother's health. "Aunt Becky wrote me a letter last week and said Mother was sick and I have been very uneasy ever since. You must write soon and tell me if she has stopped her chills. I was sorry to hear that she was sick. You must tend to her good until I come home and then I will take care of her."<br/><br/>The Autograph note is filled with notes poetry names of her classmates and her school and doodles on two sides of a sheet of paper. At this time handwritten memory albums were a common way for female classmates to remember their school times together. Young ladies would live at boarding houses or dormitories while pursuing their studies and the lines of poetry on this page would have been copied into pages of friend's keepsake books before they parted ways for their hometowns at the end of the academic year. The May 1878 letter directly addresses the heartache at leaving school friends behind when returning home. "Yates and I will part in Norfolk and we may part forever for all I know." <br/><br/>Chowan Baptist Female Institute was founded in 1848 as a four-year women's college first opening its first class with just 11 students. The curriculum included algebra arithmetic astronomy botany drawing English composition and grammar French geography guitar history Latin logic "natural and moral philosophy" needlework painting and piano. Today the institution is known as Chowan University. Letters have original fold lines. January letter has chips along edge not affecting text. Small 2 inch portion of May letter cut out.

19th c. Women Education Archive
Archive of 4 Autograph Letters 1872-1874 from Woman Student at one the earliest institution of female education in the United States
Small archive of 4 Autograph Letters by a student from Moravian Seminary in Bethlehem PA. Dated 1872 to 1874. All letter from student Elizabeth "Lizzie" Rickster to her friend Dora Campbell of York PA. Each letter is 4 pages 7 ¼ x 4 ¾ in. Each letter comes with original mailing envelope. Letters dated Sept. 30 1872; Feb. 25 1873; Feb. 7 1874; and April 6 1874. Lizzie writes on schoolwork and social activities such as winter sleigh rides. She writes to her friend about translating German words and phrases and Lizzie excitedly anticipates getting her photograph taken so that she can exchange portraits with Dora. <br/><br/>Writing about her studies and future beyond seminary in letter from Sept. 30 1872: "It did seem very funnie sic to resume my studies but I as it had to be done I made up my mind to hurry and do it so that I can get through soon. Then for a long rest from sorry and care free. I remember how you used to look forward to that time but yet your school days were your best days for when you leave school then trouble commences if not at once very soon and then we get married and have little ones to take care of and various other duties making our life one of anxiety and care." In the 1873 letter Lizzie mentions German translations for the first time: "Dora your 'Brief' translated from German means letter." She mentions German translations in the next letter as well as other studies: "Let me see if you can make out this German until next time and if you can write and tell me what it means. I have to take a singing lesson this afternoon and I haven't' looked at my piece since last time." In the final letter Lizzie writes about school and anticipates an upcoming visit between the friends. "Our school will begin again on Wednesday.I'm am going to have some pictures taken this term and if you give me some of yours I will give you one of mine. Just think three months until I see you. I can scarcely wait." The handwriting in the final letter is much looser possibly since this student had just been on school vacation or perhaps showing growing closeness and more informal relationship between the friends. <br/><br/>The Moravian Seminary traces its roots to the earliest institution of female education in the United States-the Bethlehem Female Seminary founded in 1742 by Countess Benigna Zinzendorf. <br/>BFS originally only provided primary education but due to overwhelming demand for secondary education institutions for women in 1785 BFS reorganized as a secondary educational institution that became known as the Moravian Female Seminary. In 1913 the Seminary officially became a College and in 1954 merged with a male institution to become the coeducational Moravian College. All letters tender along original fold lines from mailing. In very good condition. An incredible and early Female Education history. unknown books

Additionally Portland like many other cities across the country experienced the "white flight" of families moving out of cities into the suburbs. Around 1964 one year after this photo helped spark the question on de facto segregation the district began allowing African-American families to voluntarily transfer to other schools in the neighborhood in an effort to integrate.

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.

This photograph comes from a rural school as one student in the front row has attended class that day barefoot.

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.

Early Americana Girls' Education
Early Americana Girls' Education Cross-Stitch Sampler Made Together by 2 Eight-Year Old Girls in 1814
Girls' Education Original cross-stitch alphabet sampler from two 8-year old girls. 1814. In frame: 15.5 x 20.5". Alphabet cross-stitched in capital and lower case letters. Vowels numbers 0-9 and floral designs in backstitch. Girls' names Verna L Haywood and Elizabeth Hope stitched below along with "at best 1814" "Age eight years" and "Give thanks to the Lord". This piece has interestingly been worked by both girls. The fabric upon which they stitched have been sewn together in a vertical line down the center. The stiches on either side are distinct; the capital letters on the right half for instance are generally stitched in a more straight line while the letters on the left side have greater variation in height.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. From the 1800s the very first schools and academies for young women in America had their students create needlepoint pieces with decorative motifs such as verses or the entire alphabet being stitched on the sampler. The parents of these young women proudly displayed their embroideries as showpieces of their daughter's talent and status. In recent years these samplers have become important in museum collections as representations of early American female education. Some light staining and fading to fabric. Overall in very good condition. unknown books
