A labor summer school for women workers at Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania is the subject here, on a campus better known for its scholars than for its mill and factory workers. Programs of this kind brought wage earners to college grounds for residential study of economics, history and public speaking, giving working women a rare chance to learn outside the workplace. The record dates the glass negative to about 1916 to 1917, but the title comes from the photographer's notes, so the exact occasion is not fully documented. Surface streaks and wear on the plate are typical of glass negatives of this age.
