Wellesley College, in the town of Wellesley about 12 miles west of Boston, was a young women's college in the early 1880s, and its second president, Alice Freeman Palmer, held the post from 1881 to 1887. She took office at age 27, after the founding president, Ada Howard, had led the school since it opened in 1875. Under her direction the college strengthened its academic standing at a time when few American women earned a college degree. Her marriage in 1887 to George Herbert Palmer, a Harvard philosophy professor, ended her presidency, but the campus she left on the shore of Lake Waban remained one of the best-known women's colleges in the country.
