Excerpt from Vassar
The Work of Emma Willard and Mary Lyon. Education for Women in the South. Georgia Female College. Mary Sharp College. Oberlin College. Antioch. Other Opportunities for Women in Ohio. Lombard University. The Attitude of State Universities. Elmira College.
The right of women to a full collegiate education was not first thought of when Matthew Vassar published his plan for a new college. How new it really was, and how original, we shall see, - but the novelty and originality of the idea were not independent of previous effort and argument. Like all great movements, this had no one beginning and is traceable to various sources, and Mr. Vassar"s gift only focused and emphasized and confirmed the efforts of many pioneers. These were sporadic, of various degrees of value, generally small in their compass, and nowhere resulting in a large or conspicuous movement.
