Wellesley College sits on the shore of Lake Waban in what was then the rural country west of Boston, in the part of Needham that became the separate town of Wellesley in 1881. Henry Fowle Durant founded the college in 1870 to give women a serious, degree-granting education, and its early years rested on donations and a campus still being laid out among farm fields and woodland. Hay wagons like the one in this engraving were a common sight on the surrounding farms, where hay was a key crop for feeding the horses that moved people and goods in the Boston region. The Boston and Albany Railroad ran through the area, tying the college and its neighbors to the city's markets and to the students and faculty who traveled in from it.
