Abstract:

In 1972, Salem College (in Winston-Salem, N.C.) celebrates its 200th anniversary. Founded by Moravian settlers, the Salem Female Academy, as it was then called, was a rarity well into the 1800s, attracting students from as far away as 800 miles due to the general lack of educational opportunities for girls in the United States at the time.
