In 1876, Wellesley College was a new campus in the village of Wellesley, Massachusetts, during the nation's centennial year, when Americans marked a hundred years of independence. It stood among a small group of women's colleges in the Northeast, including Vassar in New York and Smith in Western Massachusetts, which also opened in 1875. Boston, a short trip east, was a center of shoemaking, textile mills, and printing, and many New England families who sent daughters to college earned their living in those trades. Readers of an 1876 view of the campus would have seen a young school on open farmland, still answering skeptics who doubted that women needed a college education.
