context_page_description: St. Clara Female Academy was a 19th-century American parochial school, a Roman Catholic institution, in Wisconsin. After a series of changes, it is now known as Dominican University.
  The Catholic college at Sinsinawa Mound, named Sinsinawa Mound College, was incorporated in 1848, and was under the management, for many years, of Father Samuel Mazzuchelli. This institution, together with the Female Academy at Benton, 12 miles from the Mound, were established by Mazzuchelli, from the means which were furnished him by a wealthy sister, in Milan, Italy. This school was converted, some years afterwards, into the Saint Clara Female Academy. Saint Clara Academy, which Mazzuchelli founded at Sinsinawa Mound, but had transferred to Benton, Wisconsin returned to the Mound in 1864, the sisters purchasing the old buildings of Sinsinawa Mound College. The head of the institution was Mother Emily Power, whose early education was received from the founder.
