[An effort is made here to gdve the married names of all the graduates; but 
there are many imperfections, especially as to those who died previous to 1860, 
when the Alumnre beginning to meet regularly, these names were obtained. Cor- 
rections of this Catalogue — which are invited — may hereafter remove the errors. 

The two dates gdven at the head of each class indicate — the first, the year of 
graduation; the second, the year in which the Degree of A. M. was conferred on 
graduates surviving at that time. 

The Alumnm of the Georgia Female College— the original name of the Institu- 
tion— are given. In 1844, under a reorganization, the name w^as changed to Wes- 
leyan Female College.

COURSE OF STUDY. 


The Preparatory Department is designed for those who are unpre- 
pared to enter the Regular College Classes, and embraces the following 
Course of Studies: Orthography, (written;) Geography, (completed ;) 
Arithmetic, (through Fractions;) English Grammar, Universal His- 
tory, Derivative Orthography, Historical Parts of the Bible, Read- 
ing, Penmanship, Composition, Latin, Principia, Part I. 

Before entering the First Class in College the pupil must have laid a 
good foundation for an education. She ought to be able to spell well and 
to read fluently ; to write a fair hand ; to have completed Geography ; to 
have gone through some Elementary English Grammar, and to be famil- 
iar with the fundamental rules of Arithmetic, including Proportion, Re- 
duction, and Decimal and Vulgar Fractions. 

When pupils have mastered the above prescribed studies they are pre- 
pared for the College Curriculum.

There are occasional reviews in Geography, Grammar and Arithmetic, in . 
all the higher classes, invaluable to those who have been once well taught 
in these branches, but worthless as a means of imparting knowledge. 


OPTIONAL STUDIES. ^ 

All ornamental branches, such as Music, Drawing, and Painting, and 
also the French language, for which extra charges are made, are taught 
at the option of parent or guardian, and in such way as to impede, as lit- 
tle as possible, the progress of the pupil in her regular studies. No pupil 
is allowed to commence a study involving extra pay, or having commenc- 
ed, to discontinue it, without the permission of the Faculty, given at the 
request of the parent or guardian. 

Those pupils who take a regular course in French are not required to 
study Latin in order to graduation. But those who decline to take either 
Latin or French are classed among the Iiregular Pupils, and cannot, at 
the end of their course, receive a diploma. A course in Greek may be 
taken by those who desire it, without extra charge. German is also 
taught to those who desire it, without extra charge.

IRREGULAR AND SPECIAL PUPILS. 


Two kinds of Irregular students are recognized : First, young ladies 
come to the Institution whose previous schooling has not coincided with 
our course, but who desire to graduate. Their studies are adapted to 
their status, and though temporarily irregular, they are brought to a reg- 
ular standing in their class as soon as may be. 

The other class of irregular students is composed of grown young ladies, 
who desire to spend a year or two in some good institution before quit- 
ting school. For such the Faculty select a course adapted to their indi- 
vidual cases, aiming, not at their graduation, but at doing the best for 
them under the circumstances. 

AVhen a young lady, not otherwise connected with the Institution, 
wishes to enjoy the advantages either of the Music or the Art Department 
alone, or to pursue one or two special studies, she may be received as a 
special pupil, attending only at such hours as her study or studies require. 
But if such a special pupil boards in the Institution, she must submit to 
all the regulations affecting boarding pupils. 


THE ALUMN^AN ASSOCIATION. 


The Graduates of the College being anxious to revive the friendships 
formed in their girlhood, to inquire into the history and death of those 
with whom they have associated and mingled in the past, and to form a 
nucleus around which many shall unite in the future, as well as to con- 
tribute to the prosperity of their Alma Mater, formed themselves, in 1859, 
into an Association known as the “ Alumnaean Association ” of the Wes- 
leyan Female College. 

Any of the Graduates of the Institution may become and continue 
members of this Association by the payment of a fee of three dollars at 
each regular meeting. These meetings are held triennially. 

At the Reunion of 1878 the following officers were elected : 

President, Mrs. E. Fitzgerald. 

First Vice-President, Mrs. J. B. Cobb. 

Second Vice-President, Mrs. D. Norris. 

Third Vice-President, Mrs. Annie Catchings. 

Fourth Vice-President, Mrs. W. A. Blackshear. 

Fifth Vice-President, Mrs. Lucy Peal. 

Sixth Vice-President, Mrs. Ophelia Flournoy. 

Seventh Vice-President, Mrs. Lula Kendall Rogers. 

Corresponding Secretary, Miss Flora Smith. 

Recording Secretary, Miss Cora Nutting. 

Treasurer, Miss Julia Rogers.

THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT. 


This is naturally divided into two schools — the Piano School and the 
Vocal School. Each school is divided into two distinct grades ; each 
grade embracing a definite portion of a pupil’s progress in the school. 
Each grade is assigned, as far as possible, to a certain teacher, who gives 
instruction to all in that grade, so long as they continue in it, thus, on 
the principle of the “division of. labor,” securing the highest degree of 
skill in the teaching of the whole course. No pupil is allowed to pass 
from a lower to a higher grade until she has attained proficiency in the 
former. 

THE PIANO SCHOOL. 

Each pupil proposing to take lessons on the Piano is examined, and as- 
signed to that grade which her attainments authorize, beginners, of 
course, being assigned to the primary grade ; those more advanced, to 
some of the higher grades. The instruction books used in the piano 
school are : 

Leipsic Conservatory Method j Mason's Technics for the Piano ; Czer- 
ny's Studies in Velocity Palmer's Theory. 

The different grades are thus distinguished : 

PRIMARY GRADE. 

Musical Notation : Mason's Technics. In this grade, especial atten- 
tion is paid to the formation of right habits as to the position and move- 
ments of the hands. 

SECOND GRADE. 

Exercises mostly in scales ; Leipsic Conservatory Method. 

THIRD GRADE. 

Exercises mostly in scales, arpeggios and octaves ; Czerny's Studies in 
Velocity. In this grade is taught the tasteful accompaniment of songs for 
parlor singing. 

FOURTH GRADE. 

Cramer Studies. Exercises more thorough and difficult than in pre- 
ceding grades. 

FIFTH GRADE. 

Heller^ Mochelles, Chopin's Studies^ in connection with selections from 
modern composers. 

SIXTH GRADE. 

Classic Piano Music, such as Beethoven' s Sonatas, Chopin's Mazourkas 
and Waltzes, Mendelssohn's Songs without words, etc.. Palmer's Theory. 

Those persons who design to become teachers of music should, in addi- 
tion to the foregoing course, acquire some knowledge of Harmony, which 
is taught privately or in select classes. 

Those who accomplish this course and pass a satisfactory examination, 
may receive a Musical Diploma.

WESLEYAN FEMALE COLLEGE. 


25 


THE VOCAL SCHOOL. 

This is divided into four grades, three of which are passed through by 
pupils in classes ; the fourth by pupils singly, or in sets of two, three or 
four. The portion of the course assigned to each grade is as follows : 

PRIMARY GRADE. 

Musical Notations, with Easy Exercises. First Music Reader. 

SECOND GRADE. 

The Reading of Plain Church Music, and other music of about the 
same degree of difficulty. Intermediate Music Reader. 

THIRD GRADE. 

The cultivation of the voice as far as it can be done in classes. Fourth 
Music Reader. The rendering of Oratorios, etc. 

FOURTH GRADE. 

The higher cultivation of the voice. BassinVs New Method ; Garcia's 
Method; Concone ; Lahlache' s Method ; Bordogni's Vocalizes. 


ART DEPARTMENT. 


This department is under the direction of a competent teacher, who 
aims, not only to impart technical knowledge, but to awaken and culti- 
vate a love and appreciation of the Fine Arts. 

The course in drawing embraces free-hand exercises, object drawing, 
sketching from nature, and the study of figures. 

The Painting Department embraces the several branches of oil and 
water colors, and also China Decoration. In the latter, facilities are pro- 
vided for firing all work of the pupils. 

Illustrated lessons in perspective are given to all advanced pupils. 


TERMS AND VACATION. 


The Collegiate year, embracing one session of ten scholastic months, 
is divided into two financial terms. 

The Fall Term begins on the third Wednesday of September, and closes 
the last day of January ; the Spring Term begins on the first day of Feb-* 
ruary, and ends on the day of the Annual Commencement, which is on 
the third Wednesday in June. 

The Annual Vacation extends from Commencement Day until the third 
Wednesday in September.

EXHIBITIONS. 


HONORARY APPOINTMENTS. 


By the requirement of the Board of Trustees, two members of the Se- 
nior Class, who have maintained the highest average of merit marks dur- 
ing their College Course, are appointed to read the Valedictory and 
Salutatory addresses at Commencement, whieh are the highest class 
distinctions. All the other members of the Class who pass a satisfactory 
examination are permitted to read original essays, in alphabetical order. 

In the Junior Class, twelve young ladies, whose averages of merit 
marks during their previous course have been highest, may be appointed 
to read original compositions on a day preceding Commencement. No 
one, however, can receive such an appointment who is not fully up with 
the Class in all the studies of the course, or who has not received as many 
as two quarterly reports. In these appointments special reference is had 
to excellence in Composition. 

In the Sophomore Class, as many as twelve young ladies may be ap- 
pointed to read selections at some time during Commencement Week, the 
appointments being made solely on the ground of pre-eminence in elocu- 
tionary reading, combined with good behavior and attention to duty. 

Appointments and awards are made according to the relative standing 
of pupils for the time they are together in the same class ; but in every 
case they must begin the year 'together, and be fully up in every study, 
having passed all their regular examinations. 

The Annual Concert, given by the Music Department, takes place on 
the night of Tuesday, in the Commencement Week. 

Biennial celebrations by the two Literary Societies occur on alternate 
years, at some time during the College year. 

No distinctions, awards or diplomas will be conferred unless all dues 
are settled at the time when appointments are made. 

Due allowance is made for extra studies which require extra time, la- 
bor and expense. 


MEDALS. 

1. The Faculty may confer a First and Second Scholarship Medal upon 
two members of the Senior Class whose class-standing ranks next to that 
of the Salutatorian. 

2. All the members of the Senior Class, both regular and irregular, may 
compete for a Prize Medal in English Composition. This Medal will be 


r

donated annually by Charles H. Solomon, Esq., of Macon Ga., and will 
be known as the “Solomon Prize Medal in English Composition.’^ 

3. All regular members of the Senior Class may compete for a Prize 
Medal in Elocution. This medal will be donated annually by Rev. J. W. 
Burke, of Macon, Ga., and will be known as the “ Burke Prize Medal in 
Elocution.” 

4. All the members of the Junior Class, both regular and irregular, may 
compete for a Prize Medal in English Composition. This medal will be 
donated annually by Mrs. Sarah Virgin! a Carhart, of Brooklyn, N. Y., 
and will be known as the “ Carhart Prize Medal in English Composition,” 
and will be awarded by Dr. C. W. Smith. 

5. A medal will be awarded to the best reader in the Sophomore Exhi- 
bition during Commencement week. This medal will be donated annu- 
ally, by Mrs. Alice Culler Cobb, of Wesleyan Female College, and will 
be known as the “ Cobb Medal in Elocution.” 

ART AND MUStC MEDALS, 

conferred upon regular and irregular members of the senior class. 

• 

6. Two medals may be conferi:ed for excellence in Painting. 

One medal may be conferred for excellence in Drawing. 

One medal may be conferred for excellence in Penmanship. 

Two medals may be conferred for excellence in Vocal Music. 

One medal may be conferred for improvement in Vocal Music. 

Two medals may be conferred for excellence in Instrumental Music. 

7. Where the same pupil ranks highest iji two branches of Art or Music, 
one medal will express it. 

8. The diploma in music is given only to graduates in the music class, 
and is of higher value than a medal. 

9. The Faculty will not award medals in Music and Art to any unless 
there is marked superiority, and in no case, unless a high degree of 
excellence is attained. The number awarded cannot exceed those enu- 
merated, and may be less at the option of the Faculty. No award will be 
made unless in addition to excellence in a particular branch of study the 
pupil meets faithfully all her other College obligations.

WESLEYAN FEMALE COLLEGE. 


1880 


This course will entitle the pupil to instruction in Calisthenics, Elocu- 
tion and Class Singing, each of which is charged extra in other first-class 
colleges. 

ISTo. 2. 

The whole of No. 1, with Music on Piano, Harp, Guitar, or Organ, (or 
Special Vocal Lessons instead of Instmmental Lessons,) together with 


French, for one College year, $304 00 

Use of Piano, one hour, daily, per annum, 10 00 


$314 00 

For one-half College year, . $157 00 


Music pupils who are advanced in the science, are instructed without 
extra charge in Harmony and Thorough Bass. They also receive occa- 
sional lessons on the Organ. 

These charges may be varied by substituting Drawing or Painting in 
the place of Music, or adding either of them according to rates on pre- 
vious page of Catalogue. 

Books and Sheet Music furnished at publishers’ rates. Their cost 
varies with class and advancement of pupils. 

Our rates are now much lower than those of most first-class schools in 
the South. Our teaching facilities have been largely increased. The 
Faculty consists chiefly of experienced Professors, whose lives have been 
spent in the school-room, and who have educated many of the finest 
women of the South. 

We profess to educate so as to qualify our graduates for any position 
in life. We do not neglect the ornamental, but we do not sacrifice the 
useful to the merely ornamental. If a young lady desires a thorough 
scholastic training as well as the graces and accomplishments of a well- 
conducted boarding school, the Wesleyan offers her superior advantages 
at the lowest possible rates. The aim has been to reduce our prices to 
meet the demands of the people and at the same time to offer increased 
advantages in the Literary, Scientific and Ornamental Departments of the 
College. When the magnificent improvements, which the munificent 
benefaction of Mr. Seney will enable the Trustees to make, are completed, 
there will be no buildings. North or South, with more elegant accom- 
modations as a boarding school. 

For thoroughness, cheapness, safety and comfort, parents and guar- 
dians are earnestly invited to consider the claims of the Wesleyan.

boarding pupils, must be deposited on entrance ; and in the case of day 
pupils, must be paid as furnished. 

New pupils are charged from the beginning of the month in which they 
enter, except for board, when the entrance is after the middle of the 
month ; but no pupil is admitted for a less time than to the end of the 
term. 

Former pupils, returning after the term is opened, are charged tuition 
for the whole term, if carried on with the same class. 

No refunding of money paid for board, unless the absence of the pupil 
exceeds one month ; none for tuition, unless actual serious illness de- 
mands the removal of the pupil. 

No charge for regular tuition is made against the daughters of clergy- 
men living hy the ministry. 

The Trustees require all bills remaining unpaid thirty days after sight 
to be reported to the Executive Committee. 


GENERAL INFORMATION. 


THE COLLEGE 

Was chartered by the Legislature of Georgia in the year 1836, under the 
name of Georgia Female College, and was opened to the public in Jan- 
uary, 1839, since which time it has been in successful operation. It is' 
certainly the oldest institution in the United States, perhaps in the world, 
established upon the plan of a regular Female College. Its Alumnae are 
found in every Southern State, and rank among the most intelligent ladies 
of the land, while thousands who did not complete its curriculum received 
a liberal academic training within its halls. 


THE BUILDINGS 

Are large and commodious. The main building is one hundred and sixty 
feet long and eighty feet deep ; the centre building is four stories high ; 
the wings three stories. It contains fifty rooms, the most of which are 
eighteen by twenty feet, airy and well ventilated. This affords ample 
space for the accommodation of all the teachers and one hundred and 
twenty boarding pupils.

The dining-room, though a separate building, is immediately in the rear 
of the main building, and connected with it by a covered way. 

These buildings are all lighted with gas and heated with grates, so as 
to reduce the danger from fire to a minimum and at the same time secure 
the comfort of the inmates. The main building will be entirely renovated 
and remodelled according to the most approved plans of modern archi- 
tecture, adding to its elegance, comfort and safety. 

THE CHAPEL AND RECITATION ROOMS 
Are in a separate building, erected and dedicated in 1860, furnishing am- 
ple accommodations for the large audiences of Commencement Week. 
The recitation rooms are furnished with maps, charts, apparatus, min- 
erals, etc., and every facility is provided for successful study and instruc- 
tion. 

THE LIBRARY AND READING ROOM 
Is well supplied with choice reading matter, and a fondness for reading is 
encouraged by a weekly distribution of good books among those who are 
willing to avail themselves of the privilege. Twenty-five hundred dollars 
will be expended to render this department the most attractive and use- 
ful in the College. 


THE GROUNDS. 

Are extensive and well shaded, and will undergo constant improvement, 
inviting to frequent outdoor walks and voluntary recreation. Enjoying 
the advantages of a city location, we at the same time have all the quiet 
of a rural retreat. 

HEALTH. 

The most rigid care is exercised in guarding the health of our pupils. 
The building, with its ample halls, windows and fire-places, is thoroughly 
ventilated, and is a constant conservatory of health. Few families exer- 
cise the same careful oversight over the health of children as is given 
here. The Matron, so far as it is possible, takes the place of mothers 
who entrust their daughters to our care, and parents are invited to com- 
municate freely with her in reference to their daughters. She gives 
special attention to any who may be sick, while the most competent med- 
ical aid is called when necessary. 

No institution in the land can show a better health record. 

MORAL AND RELIGIOUS ADVANTAGES. 

We seek to give the most constant attention to the moral and religious 
training of our pupils. Religious services are held morning and evening. 
Pupils attend such churches in the city on Sabbath morning as their par- 
ents may designate. Social religious meetings are held during the week. 
Bible lessons are part of the curriculum. Sectarianism is eschewed, but 
it is our aim to commend the Christian religion by precept and example.

SOCIAL PRIVILEGES. 

Under proper restriction, boarding pupils are allowed to receive lady 
visitors from the city, and near male relatives, provided they call at such 
hours as do not conflict with College duties. 

They may also occasionally visit friends in the city, when parents make 
special applications in writing to the President. Monthly musical soirees, 
and entertainments by the Literary Societies, to which select parties are 
invited, afford as many social advantages, outside of the College family, 
as are profitable to young ladies at school. 

Receiving or making visits on the Sabbath day cannot be allowed, ex- 
cept in extreme cases, and the visits must then be brief. 


THE GOVERNMENT 

Is mild but firm. The pupil is taught to respect herself, and to maintain 
her self-respect, and the respect of those around her, by observing the 
proprieties of life in all her coi^duct, and in her intercourse with her 
fellow-pupils and instructors. The effect is first to establish good prin- 
ciples, and then govern her by teaching her to govern herself in accord- 
ance with those principles. Such an esprit de corps is thus secured as 
renders rigid discipline rarely necessary. 


THE SCIENTIFIC DEPARTMENT. 

This Department, already popular, will be rendered far more attractive 
by the addition of the most approved apparatus for the illustration of 
Chemistry, Natural Philosophy and Astronomy. Twenty-five hundred 
dollars will be expended during the year in securing valuable additions 
for the fullest illustrations. 


NEATNESS— ORDER— DRESS. 

Every effort is made to secure the utmost neatness and order on the part 
of the young ladies, in the arrangement and care of their rooms, clothing 
and persons. 

The Matron inspects the rooms of boarding pupils daily, and notes all 
instances of disorder, negligence or untidiness. 

While no uniform dress is prescribed, every effort is made to secure 
such plainness and simplicity in the style of dressing as is consistent with 
sound economy and good taste. 


DOMESTIC ARRANGEMENTS. 

The sleeping apartments of the College are accommodated each to four 
inmates. The heavy articles of furniture, such as Bedsteads, Washstands, 
Tables, Wardrobes and Chairs, are furnished by the College. The board- 
ers are expected to furnish their own outfit for the room. Each one 

should furnish one pair of Sheets, one pair of Blankets or Comforts, one 
£ 


34 


WESLEYAN FEMALE COLLEGE. 


1880 


Coverlet or Spread, one pair of Pillow-cases, one dozen Towels. The 
expense of a Pitcher or Bucket, Bowl, Slop-tub, ete., is divided between 
two pupils. Each pupil should he supjdied with a pair of rubbers and a 
water-proof. 

Young ladies boarding in the Institution are not allowed to open ac- 
counts at stores, or contract any debts. All necessary shopping is attended 
to for them, either by some of the officers or their ladies. No request 
from parents to allow their daughters to do shopping for themselves, or 
any one else, will be complied with. 

All purchases are made for cash^ which must, for this purpose, be de- 
posited with some member of the Faculty. 

Boarders are not allowed to keep money in their own rooms, except at 
their oicn risk. 

Parents and guardians are requested to withhold from their daughters 
and loards the means of expensive dress. 

Parents are urged to discourage extravagance in dress. School dresses 
should be plain and simple. An extensii^ wardrobe is not needed. 

Dresses should, as far as possible, he made at home. Too much time 
and money are absorbed if made here. 

The officers, their families, and the boarding pupils, all partake at the 
same table, and constitute one large family, in which the supervision and 
care of the pupils devolve upon the President, assisted by his associates 
and their ladies. The harmonious and kindly feeling thus generated ob- 
viates the necessity of an excessively rigorous internal police. Confidence 
between pupils and officers is invited and secured. 


FOR PATRONS. 

Whenever a pupil is entered in College, the Faculty consider that an 
implied contract is made between themselves and the patron, by which 
the latter is as much bound to continue the pupil in College until the close 
of the term, as the Faculty are bound to instruct her for that time. Those 
who take away their daughters for a few days, without weighty reasons for 
such absence, not only impair the scholarship of their daughters, but im- 
pose unnecessary trouble upon the Faculty, and introduce a restlessness in 
the minds of all, very unfavorable to study. 

Parents who, for any cause, desire their daughters to come home, should 
first communicate with the President on the subject, and specific instruc- 
tions as to the time and manner of leaving, should, in every case, be sent 
to him. 

A report of each pupil’s standing in her studies, attendance, and deport- 
ment in every respect, is sent to her parent or guardian at the end of every 
three months. All are required to i»a8s approved examinations in the 
studies which they pursue. These examinations are conducted in writing, 
and under such regulations as to afford a just criterion of the scholarship 
of each pupil. Each of the examination papers thus produced is graded 
according to its excellence; and from the average of this grade-mark, and 



1881 WESLEYAN FEMALE COLLEGE. 35 


those of the three quarterly reports above noticed, XhQ fined standing mdi.T]s. 
of the pupil in each study is obtained. 

While no objection can be made to parents sending their daughter such 
eatables as fruits, the practice of sending them boxes of rich and gross 
condiments, such as meats, cakes, etc., is most decidedly reprehended. 
The fal*e of the College table is certainly as generous as should be allowed 
to students. 


IMPROVEMENTS AND ENDOWMENT. 


Through the liberality of Mr. George I. Seney, of New York, the 
College has received the ^iunificent gift of fifty thousand dollars, 
for the following specific objects : 

1. Twenty thousand dollars to be expended in renovating, enlarging 

and modernizing the present main College edifice, already large and im- 
posing, but in need of modern comforts and appliances for water, heat- 
ing, etc. * 

The Board of Trustees who have charge of this interest will provide 
the very best accommodations for the comfort of the inmates of the build- 
ing. It is expected to have the whole work accomplished and ready for 
the reception of pupils by the opening of the annual session in September, 
or as soon thereafter as practicable. 

2. Five thousand dollars are appropriated by the generous donor to 
be equally divided between the College Library and the Scientific De- 
partment, in procuring Books, Maps, Charts, Globes, Chemical, Philoso- 
phical and Astronomical Apparatus, so that the Institution may possess 
such attractions and appliances as to ensure the benefit of ail its pupils. 

3. Twenty-five thousand dollars to be set apart as a perpetual endow- 
ment, the income from which may be employed according to the wisdom 
of the Trustees. 

This donation by Mr. Seney is the largest the College has ever received. 
The princely liberality of the generous donor has conferred upon the 
daughters of the South a lasting benefit, and it will be the aim of the Trus- 
tees so to use the fund as to make it subserve the purposes of the Christian 
philanthropist who bestowed it.

APPENDIX. 


HISTORICAL SKETCH. 


It is well known that the Wesleyan is the oldest Chartered College in 
the world for graduating young ladies. The founders of this “ Mother of 
Female Colleges were doing a greater and wiser thing than they even 
suspected. They set in motion a train of inOuences destined to roll as 
far as civilization extends, and to act a most important part in shaping 
the history of the world. 

Who originated the idea of this Fernale College ? Several very posi- 
tive^ and perfectly contradictory statements have been made in answer to 
this question. Suffice it to say, that in the order of God’s providence the 
time had come, and the design was somehow put into the hearts of men 
competent and suitable to initiate and carry forward the grand enter- 
prise. 

First among these, in more senses than one, was Dr. Lovick Pierce, 
who, from the very beginning, was the unwavering friend of the institu- 
tion. 

The projectors of the College, while as yet it existed only in purpose^ 
offered to place it under the fostering care of the Georgia Conference of 
the Methodist Episcopal Church. The offer was cordially accepted, and 
Dr. Pierce was appointed to serve as traveling agent. Other agents 
were appointed by the Conference while it was still known as the Georgia 
Female College. 

For two years Dr. Pierce traveled as agent to collect funds to build the 
College and put it in operation. In this work he encountered many diffi- 
culties, and met with many objections which would be considered amus- 
ing in mir day. For instance : Urging his claim upon a gentleman of 
large means and liberal views as to the education of his sons, he received 
the reply : ‘‘No, I will not give you a dollar. All that a woman needs to 
know is how to read the New Testament, and to spin and weave clothing 
for her family.’^ Another said : “I will not give you a cent for any such 
object. I would not have one of your graduates for a wife, for I could 
never build even a pig-p€;n without her criticising it and saying that it 
was not put up on mathematical principles.” 

When the College was about entering upon its fourth year, we find 
President Ellison and Professor Darby, in an able circular, still combat- 
ing these antecedent prejudices. We quote: “We are asked, for in- 
stance, will the study of Conic Sections and Spherical Trigonometry aid 
a woman in making a pudding, or in performing any other household 



n n ry . 


APPENDIX— HISTORICAL SKETCH. S9 


duty, and if not what is their use? ” The answer is given in the form of 
an eloquent vindication of woman's right to the highest mental culture, 
“including even,” say these wise and earnest men, “ the dry subjects of 
Spherical Trigonometry and Conic Sections.” Many trivial and absurd 
objections to female education were made, which were hardly thought 
worthy of notice by educated men then^ and which are not even entitled 
to mention now. 

The first official record is of the following names, appointed in 1836, to 
act as Trustees for the Georgia Female College. It will be seen that a 
large proportion of these were designated by the Georgia Conference, or, 
at least, that they were members of that body, in accordance with an 
agreement already mentioned: James 0. Andrew, John W. Talley, 
Samuel K. Hodges, Lovick Pierce, Ignatius A. Few, Alexander Speer, 
William Arnold, Thomas Samford, William J. Parks, George F. Pierce, 
Elijah Sinclair, Henry G. Lamar, Jere. Cowles, Ossian Gregory, Robert 
Collins, E. Hamilton, George Jewett, Henry Solomon, Augustus B. 
Longstreet, Walter T. Colquitt, James A. Nisbet, Robert Augustus Beall. 

This board held many meetings and had many interesting discus^ons 
as to the plan of the building, and the ways and means, the ceremony of 
laying the corner-stone, the course of study, etc. Being pioneers, the 
paucity of their mistakes evinces their wonderful superiority of judgment. 

Two years after their organization, viz., in June, 1838, the trustees elec- 
ted a president of the College and one professor, and in November following 
the other professors and officers. The College, crowning Encampment 
Hill, since known as College Hill, was opened to the public and began its 
appropriate work, January 7th, 1839, with the following faculty : 

Rev. G. F. Pierce, President and Professor of English Literature. 

Rev. W. H. Ellison, Professor of Mathematics. 

Rev. T. B. Slade, Professor of Natural Science. 

Rev. S. Mattison, Principal of Preparatory Department 

B. B. Hopkins, Tutor. 

John Euhink, Professor of Music. 

Miss Lord, First Assistant in Music. 

Miss Massey, Second Assistant in Music. 

Mrs. Shelton, Matron. 

Mrs. Kingman, Department of Domestic Economy. 

A. R. Freeman, Steward. 

The opening of the College, even at that time, was recognized as an 
important event in the history of the age. We quote from the history of 
Macon, by John C. Butler, Esq. : “ It was an occasion of great interest, 
and of deep and thrilling excitement. A large and respectable number 
of the citizens of Macon assembled in the College Chapel to witness the 
opening scene. The hopes and the plans of the friends of the College, 
and speculations of its enemies, and the eager delight of the congregated 
pupils, all conspired to invest the service with an interest additional to its 
intrinsic importance.” On that day ninety young ladies enrolled their

names as pupils ; during that term the number increased to oiie hundred 
and sixty -eight. 

The truly wise, and great and good men who tjius launched this grand 
enterprise on the perilous sea of experiment, held views and plans too 
liberal for their age, or, at least, for the cramped financial condition of the 
times. They became responsible for the salaries of professors and teachers ; 
debts accumulated, and debtors threatened to close the doors of the 
College and to consign woman again to ignorance, obscurity and drudgery. 
The College was actually sold and bought at sherifTs sale and given to 
the Georgia Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The 
President and Faculty of the Georgia Female College resigned, and they 
were immediately elected to fill like places in the Wesleyan Female 
College, the new name given to the institution. Thus the College, with- 
out the loss of time in its great work, passed under a new jurisdiction and 
set out on a new career. 

The new board was almost identical in composition with the old ; and 
almost every surviving member of the old still holds his seat in the new. 
A lq»rge proportion of them have passed away to their eternal reward ; 
and yet enough of the old guard are left to infuse their spirit into the 
younger men who have come in to fill vacancies. Thus the Wesleyan 
has always been blessed with a remarkably noble and generous board of 
trustees. 

We give the names of the original Board of Trustees of the Wesleyan 
Female College; W. H. Ellison, James 0. Andrew, Lovick Pierce, Wm. 
J. Parks, Samuel Anthony, George F. Pierce, John W. Talley, Peyton 
P. Smith, Alfred T. Mann, John P. Duncan, James E. Evans, N. B. 
Powell, H. A. Haralson, W. H. Reynolds, T. G. Holt, Thomas Harde- 
man, James Dean, Peter Solomon, William Scott. 

Rev. W. H. Ellison continued president, while Professor Darby was 
styled associate manager. Several lady teachers were associated with 
those eminent instructors for that year. 

The following year are announced ; 

Rev. W. H. Ellison, President. 

Rev. E. H. Myers, Professor of Natural Science. 

Rev. J. F. Askew, Professor of English Literature. 

P. G. Guttenberger, Professor of Music. 

Miss Mary E. Kellogg, Teacher of Ornamental Department and French. 

In July, 1850, a committee appointed for that purpose, reported to the 
Board of Trustees a history of the process by which the Georgia Female 
College changed its name and relations, and became the “Wesleyan 
Female College.” A part of that report, taken from the minutes of the 
board, is here presented : 

“The committee find it necessary to refer to the Georgia Female 
College in order to arrive at facts connected with the history of the Wes- 
leyan Female College. The friends of education inaugurated the former 
with bright prospects, but it was found at the end of five years to be irre-

trievably bankrupt, not able to pay ten cents in the dollar. The most of 
its friends surrendered tlie enterprise as an entire failure. Here the 
committee cannot refrain from mentioning the names of Revs. Samuel 
Anthony and William H. Ellison, as having used extraordinary efforts to 
sustain tlie institution. They called on a particular friend, William Scott, 
Esq., of Vineville, to advise them of any means by which the College 
could be continued. He suggested the whole plan on which the Wesleyan 
Female College is now settled. After the plan was submitted by their 
friend, William Scott, to Messrs. Ellison and Anthony, and approved by 
them, the friends of female education then came at once to its aid. 

‘‘Mr. Elam Alexander, the original contractor for the building, had a 
mortgage on it for a large amount, and was determined to sell it as soon 
as he could legally do so. When it was ascertained that his claim could 
be bought for |10,000.00, the following gentlemen, with their own money, 
bought the claim, and divided it into ten shares, each $1,000.00, as fol- 
lows : George W. Persons, William Bailey, John Rawls, James Dean, 
William H. Ellison, Ambrose Chapman, one share each ; and James A. 
Everett and William Scott two shares each. The mortgage was foreclosed, 
these gentlemen bought the property and became the bona fide owners of 
the building. Their object was not to speculate with their money but to 
advance female education. They tendered the College building to the 
trustees for what it had cost them. Their agent, Rev. Samuel Anthony, 
made labored and repeated efforts to raise the amount necessary to pur- 
chase the College building, but was unsuccessful. There was still left 
unpaid between $7,000.00 and $8,000.00, which the late James A. Everett 
proposed to advance, on the condition that the trustees would give him 
four perpetual scholarships in the institution. The trustees accepted the 
proposition, and got a title to the College buildings, which has been le- 
gally and correctly obtained.” 

We present this long extract from the minutes of the board in order 
that all may understand clearly how the College became the property of 
the Conferences, and ivho were its true friends in the darkest day of its 
history. 

It is worthy of special remark that during the late war between the 
States the College was kept open, and went on regularly with its work, 
with the exception of two or three weeks, when General Sherman passed 
by on his march to the sea, and of two days when General Wilson took 
possession of the city. 

The Confederate authorities were on the point of seizing it at one time 
for a hospital, but were restrained by an injunction from the civil courts, 
on the grounds that the College was the residence of several private fam- 
ilies, and that many of the boarding pupils were unable to return to their 
homes or even to communicate with their i)arents, on account of the gen- 
eral disruption of the railroads. 

In the winter of 1873 the small-pox strangely made its appearance in 
the College, and the exercises were then suspended for six weeks. With

Robert B. Clayton, H. P. Redding, Richard M. Heard, Charles H.

in 1869. 

It has been the custom from the beginning to call distinguished divines 
to preach Commencement Sermons on Commencement occasions, and 
gentlemen distinguished in other walks of life to deliver literary addresses. 
The Board of Trustees, in the summer of 1839, by resolution, made it the 
duty of the President and Faculty to provide and engage suitable men to 
perform these duties. We have not been able to obtain the names of all 
these reverend and honorable gentlemen who officiated on these occa- 
sions, in the infancy of the College. At the close of the exercises in 1839, 
(there was no graduating class that year) Judge Longstreet delivered an 
address. We find, from the minutes, that Bishop Pierce, the first Presi. 
dent of the College, at each of his Commencements delivered addresses 
for which he received the thanks of the Board, and copies of which were 
asked for with a view of publication. At the Commencement of 1843 an

During the Collegiate year of 1859-00, the Alumnman Association was 
formed, having for its object the revival of college friendship, the presen- 
tation of the memoirs of the Alumnae deceased, etc. This Association 
holds Triennial Reunions, on which occasions, along with many other 
interesting exercises, there are two feasts — one in the form of a literary 
address by some distinguished gentleman — the other a literal grand supper

to which many honored and honorable guests are invited. These occa- 
sions have always been highly enjoyable. The following ladies have 
tilled the office of President of this Association : Mrs. Harriet M. Colquitt, 
Mrs. M. H. DeGraffenried, Mrs. A. B. Clayton, Mrs. Alice C. Cobb, 
Mrs. Eugenia Fitzgerald. 

The following gentlemen have addressed this Association at the Tri- 
ennial Reunions: In 1860, Bishop George F. Pierce; in 1866, Dr. \V. 
H. Ellison; in 1869, Dr. E. H. Myers; in 1872, Dr. O. L. Smith; in 
1875, Dr. W. P. Harrison; in 1878, Dr. Y. J. Allen. 

The number of graduates in the first degree in course is eight hundred 
and thirty-nine ; the number of honorary" graduates is twenty-nine ; gra<l- 
uates in music, sixteen. 

The ^argest number of undergraduates in the institution for any one 
year^ was in 1868-64 — two hundred and forty-four ; the smaJJeM number 
was in 1848-44 — one hundred and four. 

Educated Christian women are the acknowledged mainstays of religion 
everywhere, and prominent among the supporting pillars of the Church 
throughout the South are the graduates of the Wesleyan Female College. 
Their praise is in all the churches. 

If the past history of the College may be taken as an augury of its future 
caree.j’, it still holds untold powers for good. No one now fears that^'we 
will have too many oducat(*d women, or that any of our women will be 
too highly educated. The area for the enterprise and industry of edu- 
cated women is constantly enlarging. She who was first in the fall is 
evidently destined to be foremost in the elevation and restoration of our 
race.
