BARNARD COLLEGE INCUNABULAR RECORDS
1889 to 1904
The earliest
records chronicle
the first 15
years of Barnard College history, from the college’s birth in 1889 as an
experiment in women’s higher education without the benefit of an endowment,
to the years immediately following the attainment of an independent faculty
under the intercorporate agreement consummated with Columbia University in
1900. This portion of the collection
largely consists of correspondence, authored by
trustees,
administrators, faculty, and the general public. Among these correspondents
are such notable figures as Annie Nathan Meyer, Seth Low,
John D. Rockefeller Sr., Jacob Schiff, Nicholas Murray Butler, Melvil Dewey,
and Barnard's first chief administrators, Ella Weed (served 1889-1894),
Emily James Putnam (served 1894-1900), and Laura Drake Gill (served
1901-1907). Includes Personal and Corporate Name Index.
