ABSTRACT Between 'True Women' and 'New Women': Mount Holyoke Students, 1837 To 1908. February 1983 Tiziana Rota, Laurea, Ca' Foscari University of Venice (Italy) M,A., Mount Holyoke College, Ph.D«, University of Massachusetts Directed by: Professor Joyce A. Berkman This study explores the role played by education in the lives of students who attended Mount Holyoke Female Seminary (later Mount Holyoke College) in a period of transition from the canons of "true womanhood" to a more secular feminine ideal. The thesis also challenges two current prevailing views in the history of women's education; first, that most institutions of higher learning shared the same educational ideals of women's social roles; secondly, that students' lives before and after college followed homogeneous life courses Mary Lyon through the founding Mount Holyoke Female Seminary sought to institutionalize the prescriptions of "true womanhood" which she had addressed in her writings. In practice, the daily rule and regimen was aimed at forming a "benevolent character" through conformity, docility, and internalized time discipline. By practices the decade of the l8MOs, Mary Lyon followed educational however, the which foreshadowed a "new womanhood." By the 1870s, problems strict regimentation of Seminary life created disciplinary vii . and students* discontent . At the same time the ideal roles of Seminary educated women also shi f ted . The ideal Mount Hoi yoke woman emerged as a compromise between the old and the new, a "social humanitarian" and a transitional type This shift in educational ideals coincided with a change in the social composition of the student body. The thesis draws a collective portrait of two groups of students who attended Mount Holyoke Female Seminary (1881 to 1888) and Mount Holyoke College twenty years later (1901 to 1908), by analyzing such factors as geographic origins, fathers' occupation, age of parents at students' birth and position among siblings (including their number and sex). When compared with an earlier group of students (1837-1850), the study shows that the social origins of students shifted from predominantly farming families to a heterogeneous group composed of daughters of professionals, businessmen, white collar workers as students well as farmers in the 1880s. By the 1900s Mount Holyoke were primarily daughters of professional and managerial urban families The final part of this study explores the occupational, through a marriage and parenting patterns of Mount Holyoke alumnae, In combination of collective biography and longitudinal method. sequence and timing addition, the life course model identifies the stages of the life-cycle. of the transitions between the various group who followed Mount Holyoke Seminary women prove to be a example, those who diverse and at times unexpected paths. For viii worked were engaged primarily in teaching, but over half became "careerists." While a majority of these alumnae led traditional domestic lives, a sizable minority either remained single and devoted all their lives to gainful employment or worked for seven to eight years, then married and had children. Ultimately Mount Holyoke students examined in this study represent the embodiment of the transitional woman. They were part of a generation who sought to break away from ante-bellum life patterns, but they were too young to be pioneers and too old to be new women. ix TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT v Chapter I.

  • Memories of Mont Amoena Female Seminary: “An Island of Culture in the Difficult Years,” 1859-1927
    MEMORIES OF MONT AMOENA FEMALE SEMINARY: “AN ISLAND OF CULTURE IN THE DIFFICULT YEARS,” 1859-1927 by Denise Melanie McLain A thesis submitted to the faculty of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Public History Charlotte 2017 Approved by: ______________________________ Dr. Aaron Shapiro ______________________________ Dr. Karen Cox ______________________________ Dr. Sonya Ramsey ii ©2017 Denise Melanie McLain ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii ABSTRACT DENISE MELANIE MCLAIN. Memories of Mont Amoena Female Seminary: “An island of culture in the difficult years,” 1859-1927. (Under the direction of DR. AARON SHAPIRO) In 1851, the North Carolina Lutheran Synod (NCLS) selected the small, remote village of Mount Pleasant, North Carolina as its center for secondary education. Mount Pleasant Female Academy’s future was uncertain, at best, when it opened as a finishing school on the brink of the Civil War in 1859. The isolated location and poor timing of its foundation set the stage in a continuous battle for financial stability and accessibility. Closed during the war years, it reopened in 1869 as Mont Amoena Female Seminary under the auspices of the NCLS; however, the Civil War and its aftermath altered the future of Mont Amoena and Mount Pleasant such that neither ever fully recovered. Although Mont Amoena evolved into a degree granting junior collegiate preparatory school, it paradoxically held on to the antebellum structures that defined traditional Southern culture as it sought to be a haven of stability for the region’s young white elite Christian women. The ideology of the New South created social and economic changes that challenged the model used to create Mont Amoena and split the membership of the NCLS as it determined to consolidate power.

  • GUIDE to the HITCHCOCK FAMILY PAPERS Scope and Content Note the Hitchcock Family Papers Have Been Received As Gifts by the Pocum
    GUIDE TO THE HITCHCOCK FAMILY PAPERS Scope and Content Note The Hitchcock Family Papers have been received as gifts by the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association from several sources over many years. The collection numbers just over 400 items, and date between 1731 and 1979. The papers are those of and relating to the descendants of Luke [d. 1659] and Elizabeth (Gibbons) Hitchcock [d. 1696] of Wethersfield, Connecticut, through their sons John and Luke. The number that accompanies names in the notes below refers to the number assigned to the individual by George Sheldon in genealogical notes on the Hitchcock family in the second volume of his History of Deerfield [1895]. Many of the following biographical notes were selected from that source and from The Genealogy of the Hitchcock Family, compiled and published by Mrs. Edward Hitchcock, Jr. [Amherst, Mass., 1894]. Biographical Notes and Description of Series John Hitchcock4, son of Deacon John2 and Hannah (Chapin) Hitchcock, was born in Springfield, Mass., on April 13, 1670. On September 24, 1691 he married Mary Ball of Springfield and the couple had 11 children, one of whom is mentioned below. He received two shares of the township granted to survivors of the Falls Fight [Turners Falls, Mass.,1676] and their descendants and bequeathed them to his son John. He died in 1751, his widow in 1760. He is represented by four items: deeds to land in Brookfield and Springfield, Mass., dated 1731, a copy of his will, dated December 12, 1750, an account relating to the sale of his estate. Samuel Hitchcock7, son of Ensign John4 and Mary (Ball) Hitchcock, was born in Springfield, Mass., on June 9, 1717.

  • The Mysterious Education of American Women, 1750-1850 a THESIS
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Minnesota Digital Conservancy If Not for Her Sex: The Mysterious Education of American Women, 1750-1850 A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Amy Susan Palmer IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS Karen L. Miksch, Ph.D., J.D. June 2017 Amy Susan Palmer, 2017 © Abstract The topic of educating middle and lower class women, in 1750-1850, has been sparsely annotated in historical research. Historical research hinted that these women were educated far beyond the “female arts,” but little else was written to indicate how women, without substantial means, were able to acquire higher education. Interwoven through historical research on higher education, however, were nuanced mentions that women were educated for professions and acquired high-level literacy. I embarked on a study to find out how middle and lower class women in the United States, during the 1750s to 1850s, were able to access post-secondary education; what was their purpose in seeking a higher education, and a curriculum, that would inform their lives. Due to the dearth of research on women’s education during this period, I decided to focus my study on the first women’s post-secondary school: the Moravian Seminary for Young Ladies in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Other resources unearthed curriculums of both the Moravian Seminary for Young Women and Mount Holyoke. I looked into their archives to understand who their marketed audience was and what kinds of learning materials were used to teach female students.
