Publisher's Synopsis
This volume contains the addresses delivered at the inauguration of Reverend L. Clark Seelye as President of Smith College and at the dedication of its academic building on July 14, 1875. A significant historical document, it offers insights into the early vision and aspirations for Smith College, one of the first women's colleges in the United States. The speeches articulate the importance of higher education for women and the role of institutions like Smith College in shaping intellectual and social progress. This book provides valuable context for understanding the development of women's education and the evolution of higher learning in America during the late 19th century.
