Vassar College, which opened in Poughkeepsie, New York, in 1865 as one of the earliest colleges to offer women a full undergraduate curriculum, is the subject of this view of its library. The record credits Kadel Photo, and the caption information comes from unverified Bain News Service data, so the exact date is uncertain. The picture most likely dates to the early twentieth century, when the news service supplied photographs to newspapers, and glass negatives like this one were a common way to record campus buildings before film became standard.
