Wellesley College, in the town of Wellesley about twelve miles west of Boston, was still a fairly young women's college around 1900, having opened its doors in 1875. Its campus was laid out on the shore of Lake Waban, where a large central building anchored a growing group of halls, classrooms and laboratories. Founder Henry Durant had set out to give women a rigorous education comparable to what men received at established colleges, and students arrived from across New England and beyond. The Boston and Albany railroad served the town, bringing students, faculty and visitors out from the city and tying a semi-rural community to Boston's commercial and cultural life.
