Stone Hall, seen here across Lake Waban, stood on the campus of Wellesley College in the town of Wellesley, about 12 miles west of Boston. Henry Fowle Durant founded the college in 1870, and it opened to students in 1875 with Stone Hall as its first main building. The lake lay within the grounds, and students rowed, canoed and skated on its waters, so the shore became as much a part of college life as the classrooms. Wellesley was then a quiet railroad town on the Boston and Albany line, and the college was one of the few places where women could earn a full four-year degree. Local residents came to know the campus as the town's best-known landmark of learning.
