Helen A. Shafer led Wellesley College, the women's college on the shore of Lake Waban in Wellesley, Massachusetts, in the early twentieth century. The college had opened in 1875 under the will and vision of Henry Fowle Durant, and by then its campus of stone and brick halls set among pine and lakeside grounds was among the best known institutions for women's higher education in the country. Students at the time took a broad liberal arts course, and the college drew many of its young women from New England and New York families who expected them to teach, write, or take up professional work. Wellesley's faculty and trustees were also building its reputation for scholarship, which made the college a regular subject of pride in the surrounding towns and in Boston.
