Boston's School of Elocution and Expression was founded in 1879 by Anna Baright, a graduate of Boston University's School of Oratory, and had many prominent local citizens on its board of directors, including inventor Alexander Graham Bell, president of Harvard University Charles W. Eliot, and writer William Dean Howells. In 1882 Baright married Boston minister and fellow Boston University alumnus and professor Samuel Silas Curry; in 1885 the institution became known as the School of Expression. In 1938 the Commonwealth of Massachusetts granted it the right to confer bachelor's and master's degrees, and in 1943 its named was changed to its current form, Curry College, in order to reflect its origins.
