5.0 out of 5 stars This book gives a great overall history of Wells College., January 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Wells College: A History (Hardcover)

I really enjoyed reading this book. The author gives a good idea of what the college's early years were like. History of places I know interests me a lot. After reading this book, I feel that I have a link with the early students of Wells College. Although this book is not currently available through Amazon, I was able to get a copy from the DeWitt Historical Society. I saw this book and said, "I GOTTA HAVE IT!"

This must be in the library of every Wells woman! It is a fun and informative history of the school, providing an excellent picture of the shift in women's higher education, from the early days of being little more than a finishing school to the current position of teaching women to be competitive and successful in the world, with a look towards the future. Dieckmann leaves nothing out, from traditions to ghost stories, the founding to the presidents, academics, athletics, and the arts: she provides a thorough history of the college. Plus, the photos are great!!
