About this Item
An extensive and finely produced catalogue promoting Miss Bangs and Miss Whiton's School for Girls, a private school for the daughters of New York's well-to-do. Located in Riverdale-on-Hudson, the School boasted references including The Hon. and Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, and a litany of preeminent presidents of the best colleges and universities in the nation, from the University of Virginia to Mount Holyoke, Smith, and Columbia University. The catalogue itself offers a detailed overview of the School's curriculum, which focused heavily on English, History, the Classics, and foreign language, as well as music, cookery, and physical education. Offered subjects not general available to girls at the time including economics, civil government, and psychology. Other information includes expenses, references, a school calendar, faculty list, and registration form. Nearly all of the faculty listed are college-educated women. This copy has been annotated by a student; amusingly on page 25, she has written "never" next to the course offering of "higher mathematics". Single vol. (8.5" by 6.5"), pp. 36 with 8 photo illus. plates, original textured paper wrappers secured with lavender cord, upper wrapper embossed in gold and lavender. Annotated in pencil. Note the school's motto: "Noblesse Oblige" Very good. Minor toning, offsetting, one or two chips/short tears. Seller Inventory # 23006247
