Book Description
One of the most influential women's colleges in the country, Wellesley has educated many illustrious women, from Katharine Lee Bates--author of America the Beautiful--to Hillary Rodham Clinton. Since its origins in the late nineteenth century, Wellesley has had an impact on American history and women's history. The college was unique in its commitment to an exclusively female faculty and much of its intellectual fervor can be traced back to them. This book is an engrossing narrative history of that first generation of Wellesley professors. Drawing on unpublished diaries, journals, family letters, and autobiographies, on newspapers and magazines, and on official Wellesley College records, Patricia Palmieri re-creates and reinterprets the lives and careers of many of the fifty-three senior women professors of the college. By exploring the family culture, education, and ideology of the "select few," she accounts for the rise of the first generation of academic women in post-Civil War America. Examining Wellesley's social and intellectual milieu, she radically revises standard accounts of the college as a citadel of enlightened domesticity between 1890 and 1920. She shows instead that its separatist women's community encouraged women students to renounce marriage and enter careers of public service, and she links Wellesley's educational climate to the social reform activism of the Progressive Era. In addition, she argues that these academic women formed a collective fellowship, which included many "Wellesley marriages." Ultimately society condemned Wellesley for its "spinster faculty," and by the 1930s the administration began to hire "happily married men." Nevertheless, the contemporary college owes much to the dedication and achievement of its pioneering women scholars.

Book Description
Excerpt from Annual Reports Number of the Wellesley College Bulletin, Vol. 39: September, 1949 Of Aristophanes' Frogs by the Greek department have all enlarged the world in which twentieth-century American under graduates live. The many Off-campus contacts Of members Of the French, Spanish, and Italian departments further relate the College to the foreign-language groups here and abroad. Encouragement to foreign graduate students was given by the action instituting a Certificate in American Studies available for graduates Of foreign universities who cannot spend two years to acquire a master's degree but would like some evidence Of accomplishment for a year's study. Furthermore it is believed that a course to introduce foreign guests to American culture may be more profitable for visitors than one devoted to academic disciplines which might be pursued in any country and perhaps better in a graduate school Of a university. Undergraduates have contributed to the enrichment Of the College by giving part Of their gift to the 75th Anniversary Fund in the form Of scholarships for two displaced students from Europe. They assumed responsibility not only for the expenses (over and above tuition which was waived by the trustees) but will make necessary provision for vacation travel and entertain ment for the two young women who will enter next fall. This pre-anniversary year has been a good one for taking stock on a number Of matters. A special committee Of the Academic Council has been working on the formulation Of long term policies in connection with admission. Its work Of this year was largely an analysis Of present practice, resulting in a summary statement Of present practice which was adopted by the Academic Council as a basis for further deliberations.

Book Description
Excerpt from Annual Reports Number of the Wellesley College Bulletin, Vol. 31: October, 1941 It is interesting to note that the Class Of 1943 shows its superior calibre as a sophomore class even as it did at the end Of its fresh man year. In June, 1941, the committee voted to drop six members Of the Class Of 1942, nine members Of 1943, and fourteen members Of 1944, making a total Of twenty-nine. The compara tive figures for 1940 are: fifteen members Of 1941, thirteen of 1942, and fourteen Of 1944 with a total Of forty-two. There is another factor which it is hoped plays a part in reducing the number Of students to be dropped for academic reasons. This is the consistent effort on the part Of the deans to refer students to the college psychiatrist in time for them to receive constructive help or to persuade them to withdraw from college voluntarily if the chances for success seem very dubious.
