Speeches Delivered to Female High School Students on the Value of Education 1890

réf. 18017Three Addresses to Girls at School" J.M Wilson. Percival and Co: London 1890. 7" x 5" inches. 74 pages. Soft cover pamphlet. A series of speeches delivered by the vice president of the Clifton High School for Girls in Covent Garden 1890. The speeches were given on "Education" "High School Education for Girls" and "Religion" in 1887 1889 and 1890 respectively. In them Wilson the school's vice president and late head master addresses the female students on the value of their education"You are living in a great age when changes of many kinds are in progress in our political and social and religious ideas. There never was a greater need of trained intelligence clear heads and earnest hearts. And the part that women play is not a subordinate one." Whereas in 1840 60% of British women were illiterate that number dropped dramatically to 40% by 1860 and the momentum for female education picked up considerably through the end of the nineteenth century into the twentieth. Wilson's speeches delivered to high school girls give fascinating insight into both the vision and anxiety bound up in educational reform during the time. "We earnestly desire that women should be highly educated" he writes. "And yet is there not a type of educated woman which we do not wholly admire I am not going to caricature a bluestocking but to point out one or two real dangers. Education is good; but perfect sanity is better still. Sanity is the most excellent of all women's excellences.It is a small matter that you should protest against some small maladjustment or folly; but it is a great matter that you should be perfectly sane and well-balanced. Now education helps sanity." The addresses both promote women's education and caution against radically upending existing social structures. Wilson advises the girls throughout to be gentle humble and sane and celebrates the role educated women play in supporting men in positions of power. Front soft cover detached. Textblock is partially detached. Text block clean and bright. Overall good condition. unknown books

Women's Sorority Life and Theatrical Traditions at MacMurray College Jacksonville Illinois 1920

1920réf. 179821920. Archive of eight silver gelatin photographs and one albumen portrait documenting the social life theatrical productions and group identity of a women's sorority at MacMurray College in Jacksonville Illinois circa 1920. Photographs range from 7" x 5" to 3.5" x 3.5" and bear the imprint of local photographers Vail & Vail along with negative numbers in the lower margins. The collection offers an unusually intimate view of collegiate women's culture during the early twentieth century. The centerpiece is a large formal group portrait showing dozens of sorority members assembled on the front steps of their residence behind a banner marked "1920." The women wear matching white dresses white stockings and shoes black neck bows and close-fitting caps presenting a carefully organized display of unity and institutional pride. In contrast several other photographs reveal a far more playful side of campus life. A series of images document what appears to be a student theatrical production or costume party with approximately twenty-seven participants dressed in an eclectic assortment of historical literary and gender-bending costumes. Some women appear in male attire while others wear period dress character outfits and theatrical makeup. One participant holds a sign reading "The Cat That Walked Alone" likely referencing Rudyard Kipling's well-known story. Additional photographs show staged scenes rehearsals and informal gatherings capturing moments of humor friendship and performance. Three photographs bear handwritten identifications on the verso. One small portrait depicting a young woman standing alone outdoors is captioned "Pieface" beneath the image suggesting a nickname used within the sorority circle. One photograph has a clipped corner; otherwise the archive remains in very good condition. Throughout the archive the subjects display a striking range of expressions and poses. While some photographs maintain the expected formality of the era others capture candid interactions as women laugh whisper mug for the camera and engage with one another in ways seldom preserved in official college photography. Together the images document both the public and private dimensions of sorority life during a period when women's colleges and campus organizations played a central role in social and intellectual development. MacMurray College founded in 1846 and operating until 2020 was one of the Midwest's longstanding women's educational institutions. These photographs provide a vivid record of the camaraderie ritual and theatrical creativity that characterized student life there in the years immediately following World War I. unknown books

Pamphlet "On the Education of Women" Proposing a National Movement 1871

1871réf. 180111871. On the Education of Women. A Paper Read by Mrs. William Grey at the Meeting of the Society of Arts." William Ridgeway: London 1871. Pamphlet. 64 pages. 5.5" x 8" inches. Maria Georgina Grey was a British writer and women's education advocate. In this paper she writes "The subject I have specially to call your attention to this evening is the low condition of female education the inadequate provision made for it out of the endowments of the country and the difficulty of obtaining support from the general public for any scheme having for its object the higher education of women." Much of the paper concerns education for girls as a path to long-term freedom "It is easy to laugh at old maids it is easy to praise them as the sisters of mercy of life it is not easy to measure the amount of silence suffering of slow wasting away of hope of energy of faculty as the woman sees her youth passing away the boundless horizon of earlier years narrowing more and more middle age finding her as helplessly dependent in her father's house as unable to gratify a single taste to follow a single pursuit which does not chime in with his fancies as she was at 18 or left along to struggle untrained and unarmed in the fierce battle of life for the very means of living." In the paper she proposes the formation of a national movement for promoting women's education "Such an Association might be represented in London by a central committee connected with local committees formed in every considerable country town. By common action from all these different centres a body of evidence might be collected on every point connected with the better education of girls of all classes." Grey went on to form just such an organization the National Union of the Improving the Education of Women of All Classes later renamed the Women's Education Union. The union of which Grey was an active member established the Girls' Public Day School Company in 1872 to provide new schools for girls across social classes. Front and back soft covers missing.

Octavo pamphlets measuring approximately 7" x 5" ranging from 11 to 24 pages each. Illustrated with seven black-and-white photographs depicting campus buildings classrooms and college administrators along with an engraved view of the college. The 1902 and 1903 reports feature photographic views of Homerton College on their front wrappers. Original printed paper covers titled "Report of the Congregational Board of Education for the Year Ending Year." Founded in 1695 Homerton College occupies a significant place in the history of British education and was among the institutions that expanded educational opportunities for women during the nineteenth century. By the mid-1800s women were being admitted to study at Homerton making the college an important center for female teacher training and higher education at a time when academic opportunities for women remained limited. These reports document the institution during a period of growth and modernization at the turn of the twentieth century. The pamphlets provide a detailed record of academic instruction enrollment finances faculty activities campus improvements and student life. The 1901 report opens with a confident assessment of the college's progress noting that "All the students passed the usual tests very satisfactorily" and concluding that "Everything in this College shows marks of progress and bears testimony to the vigour of its administration." Beyond academic matters the reports offer valuable glimpses into everyday student culture. Accounts of clubs and extracurricular activities reveal an active collegiate community including the popular Cycling Club which reported in 1905 that members "visited many of the villages near Cambridge and held its annual picnic at Clayhithe" while noting that a newly constructed bicycle shed had become "a great convenience by all who have brought their machines up with them." Taken together the reports provide an unusually rich portrait of institutional development and student experience at one of Britain's pioneering centers for women's education. They illuminate not only the administrative concerns of the college but also the social networks recreational activities and evolving culture of female higher education during the Edwardian era. Several covers bear institutional Board of Education Library stamps with three retaining library labels on the rear wrappers. Minor contemporary manuscript notations appear on some covers. Light wear and handling consistent with use; overall very good condition. unknown books

Women's Education T. H. Gallaudet Address at the Hartford Female Seminary 1827

1827réf. 182321827. Gallaudet Thomas Hopkins. An Address on Female Education at the Opening of the Edifice Erected for the Accommodation of the Hartford Female Seminary 1827 presents an early nineteenth-century argument for expanding women's education delivered in connection with the institution founded by educator Catharine E. Beecher in 1823. Gallaudet best known as a founder and principal of the American Asylum for the Education and Instruction of the Deaf and Dumb in Hartford addressed women's intellectual development while acknowledging the political and professional restrictions imposed upon them. He writes: "Woman cannot plead at the bar or preach in the pulpit or thunder in the senate house. yet hers is no trifling eloquence. Its power though unostentatious in display is mighty in result." Gallaudet Thomas Hopkins. An Address on Female Education at the Opening of the Edifice Erected for the Accommodation of the Hartford Female Seminary. Hartford: H. and F. J. Huntington 1827. 34 pages. 5 x 8.25 inches. The address was prepared for the opening of a new building for the Hartford Female Seminary connecting Gallaudet's discussion of women's education to a specific institutional expansion. Beecher had founded the seminary four years earlier to provide young women with advanced educational opportunities at a time when access to comparable schooling remained sharply restricted by sex. The address belongs to the antebellum expansion of female seminaries and academies that enlarged women's access to formal education before women were broadly admitted to American colleges and universities. Its language also records the limitations within which advocates framed female education: Gallaudet argues for women's intellectual and rhetorical influence while explicitly identifying the law ministry and legislature as male domains. Foxing throughout; wrappers missing; text block clean and intact. Overall good condition. The address documents both the expansion of educational opportunities for American women and the gendered boundaries that continued to define arguments for female education in the 1820s. unknown books

Disability History and Higher Education in 1880s San Francisco Graduation Portrait

1880réf. 182821880. Elite Studio large albumen photograph of college graduates circa 1880s documents higher education gendered academic ceremony and the visible presence of a disabled graduate in late nineteenth-century San Francisco. The image is especially significant for disability history because it records a named student identified on the verso as "Parkhurst" participating in formal academic commemoration during a period when disabled Americans were often marginalized through institutionalization public exhibition or exclusion from ordinary civic and professional life. The photograph supports research into disability education gender class presentation and West Coast studio portraiture in the decades before World War I veterans' rehabilitation helped expand public expectations of governmental responsibility toward disabled citizens. Albumen photograph circa 1880s mounted to photographer's board from Elite Studio San Francisco California measuring 17.5 x 22 inches. The image shows eight graduates men and women posed together with rolled diplomas clasped in their hands. The men wear formal dark suits two with large mustaches fashionable in the period; the women wear white formal dresses with puffed sleeves and bustled skirts. Parkhurst stands among the male graduates with a large mustache noticeably hunched shoulder raised toward his jawline and a smaller frame than the other men. The verso bears red ink inscriptions with several student names including Parkhurst and "Class of ____." The photograph gains interpretive force from its formal setting: Parkhurst is not pictured as a medical subject charity recipient or spectacle but as a graduate within a mixed-gender academic cohort. Later disability history including World War I rehabilitation policy and Franklin D. Roosevelt's public management of disability after polio underscores how unusual and valuable nineteenth-century visual records of disabled people in ordinary civic achievement can be. Toning around edges of board not affecting image; two-inch red line at top of image points toward one subject's head; red ink inscriptions on verso; overall very good. A substantial San Francisco educational portrait with direct research value for disability history and the visual culture of nineteenth-century academic inclusion. unknown books

Colonial South Africa Outdoor Black School Class in Durban on a 1903 Real Photo Postcard

1903réf. 174951903. A Native School 1903 is a real photo postcard documenting Black education in Durban during the colonial period showing approximately thirty students ranging from young children to adults receiving instruction outdoors from a Black teacher. The image predates the creation of the Union of South Africa and was made during a period when educational provision for Black South Africans varied substantially by colony mission and institution. Contemporary educational policy increasingly connected African schooling with labor and industrial training; in the neighboring Transvaal Inspector of Native Education Rev. W. E. C. Clarke stated in 1903 that an object of Black schooling was to "Teach the Native to work" and separate primary curricula for African students followed there in 1904. Black and white real photo postcard captioned "A Native School." Durban 1903. 3.5 x 5.5 inches. The class meets beneath a copse of trees with tall grasses visible beyond the students. A Black teacher stands at a lectern holding an open book with a single chair immediately behind him. Approximately thirty Black students sit before him on chairs and on a rug spread across the ground; the group includes children adolescents and adults making the mixed ages of the class one of the image's most distinctive features. The verso is addressed in ink to Mademoiselle Mercedes de Guerrico in Buenos Aires and bears an August 3 1903 Durban postmark. The postcard records an actual instructional setting rather than a formal school building: teacher book lectern portable seating and ground covering constitute the visible classroom. Its 1903 date places it within an unsettled period in South African education when schooling for Black students remained sharply unequal and colonial authorities were developing racially differentiated educational policies. The international address to Buenos Aires additionally documents the circulation of this image of Black South African schooling through the early twentieth century postcard trade. Corners slightly worn with some foxing. Overall good condition. A detailed visual record of Black students and a Black teacher conducting an outdoor class in Durban in 1903. unknown books
