Old fold lines a bit of rumpling else a very good copy. This circular advises students seeking admission to be mindful of the requirements of the school and to be prepared to "pass a good examination on entering the Seminary." It notes that "candidates for admission should be very careful and thorough in their preparation. There has been some deficiency in understanding the required qualifications though these qualifications have been better understood from year to year." The candidates should have a thorough background in Arithmetic and Latin and the other preparatory studies demanded of them. An individual should either withdraw her application or delay it if her educational background has not prepared her "as it is a disadvantage to the young ladies themselves as well as to the Institution. Mount Holyoke Female Seminary accepted its first students in November 1837. The founder and driving force behind the school was Mary Lyon who intended the school to be an institute of higher education focusing on rigorous academic studies. It was the first of the group of schools later called the "Seven Sisters" counterparts to the all-male Ivy League schools of the 19th century. One of its many well known students was Emily Dickinson who attended from 1847-1848. OCLC lists one copy: AAS. the college unknown books
Best.-Nr. 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." 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
