Hixson, Ivy May

Abstract:

The article looks at changing academic standards for the women admitted to Salem College. Beginning in 1854 with the first official catalogue, the author traces curriculum changes to 1909 largely through the changing administration. A major trend during this 55 year span was the modernization of the school curriculum by comparison to other similar institutions, a shift from the insular, self-dictated agenda of students in 1854.
