Especial Correspondence
WELLESLEY, Mass, July 29.-It is just
announced that President Harper has at
last secured the services of Mrs. Alice
Freeman Palmer for the great millionaire
university of Chicago. She is to be adj
yisory dean of the women's department
in the University College and graduate
schools at Chicago.
Mrs. Palmer declined the offer some
weeks ago because of the climate of Chi
cago, but as she will be required to make
only occasional visits to the university
during the year, she finally accepted
President Harper's offer.
Mrs. Palmer will serve the interests of
the university from Cambridge by CORE
spondence, so far as possible. Accom-
plished and competent women will be in
residence at the university, and will dis
charge the active duties of the deans
Office. Mrs. Palmer will assist in the Or
ganization of the new university and will
be in Chicago at the opening in October.
Mrs. Palmer made her great repu-
tation here as president of Well
lesley college, and Wellesley has a
just pride in the recognition Presi-
dent Harper has accorded her. There
are only three women in this country
who have achieved the distinction of
being presidents Of a college of the first
rank. They are Miss Ada L. Howard,
the first, and Mrs. Alice Freeman Pal
mer, the second president of Wellesley
college, and Miss Helen A. Shafer, who
now holds the position.
When Wellesley was started, its foun-
der, Mr.. Henry T. Durant, asked Miss
Howard, who had been distinguished
teacher, to become its head. When she
The Portland daily press., 1892-08-01


refused, fearing to undertake so large a
task, he persuaded her by promising to
aid her constantly in the work. She
finally consented, and Mr.. Durant kept
his word, sustaining her in everything
as long as he lived. When his death oc-
CURED, in 1882, she broke down COM
pletely, and was soon obliged to resign
because of ill health.
Miss Howard is a striking looking wo-
man now past middle age. She is not
tall, but dignified in bearing, with a
strong fine face and snowy hair arranged
in puffs ON either side of her head. Her
eyes are blue and full of expression,
while her voice is peculiarly sweet. A
native of New Hampshire, she was first
educated. in the library Of her father,
William Hawkins Howard, afterward at
New Ipswich academy, and the Lowell
high school. She was graduated from
Mount Holyoke in 1868. Beside this she
had had private instructors in various
branches.
For several years Miss Howard taught
at Mount Holyoke, then at the Western
Female seminary, at Oxford, o., finally
becoming principal of the ladies depart
ment Of Knox college, situated at Gales
burg, Ills. Then she had boarding
and day school Of her own at Bridgeton,
N. j., taking charge of one that had been
established some ten years. From there
she went to Wellesley in 1875, when the
college opened.
About 900 students were admitted, but
it YVES found that only forty wc-o we'll
prepared. Most OF tho others had to DO
put into preparatory work. or in some
way their attachments had to be "evened
up" for if fitted in one branch, they
would be deficient in others. But the
place had been named college, and it
was not part of its plan to have a pre-
paratory department. All in authority
saw that and worked so hard and well
that in three years the preparatory de-
partment was abolished.
81 think I was an assistance to Mr..
Durant in carrying out his plans" said
Miss Howard. "They were very sacred
to me, and we worked together in
great harmony. wished to resign long
before I did, but it seemed necessary to
remain
She did remain, but at the expense of
her health. She has been practically an
invalid ever since, and lives quietly at
her home in Methuen, Mass, weak
in body, but with her old enthusi-
asm and love for the college undi-
minished.
Meantime there had come to Welles-
ley two heads of departments who have
since played an important part in the
college history-Miss Shafer, to the
chair of mathematics in 1875, and
Miss Freeman, to the chair of history
in 1879.
The latter was a quiet, slight young
woman of twenty-five or thereabout,
but retiring as she was, Mr.. Durant had
seen evidences Of ability in her and be-
fore his death had recommended her to
the trustees for advancement. When
Miss Howard was compelled suddenly
to leave for time, Miss Freeman was
made vice president, to assume the
duties of her chief. But the latter
never came back, SO in September, 1882,
Miss Freeman was made president.
Always a hard student, she entered
Michigan university, at Ann Arbor, in
1872, and in her Junior year went out to
teach, being preceptress of high school
at Ottawa. ILL.,. with 100 nupils under
