Overview

Originally a women's college, Vassar is one of the oldest institutions of higher education for women in the United States. The following is a timeline of Women's colleges in the United States. It was founded by its namesake, brewer Matthew Vassar, in 1861 in the Hudson Valley, about 70 mi (115 km) north of New York City. Matthew Vassar ( April 29, 1792 &ndash June 23, 1868) was a U For the Magazine, see Hudson Valley (magazine The City of New York The first person appointed to the Vassar faculty was the astronomer Maria Mitchell, in 1865. Astronomy (from the Greek words astron (ἄστρον "star" and nomos (νόμος "law" is the scientific study Maria Mitchell ( August 1 1818 &ndash June 28 1889) was an American Astronomer. Vassar adopted coeducation in 1969 after declining an offer to merge with Yale University. However, immediately following World War II, Vassar accepted a very small number of male students on the G.I. Bill. World War II, or the Second World War, (often abbreviated WWII) was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations, including The GI Bill (officially titled Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944 PL346 58 Statutes at Large 284 provided for college or vocational education for returning Because Vassar's charter prohibited male matriculants, the graduates were given diplomas via the University of the State of New York.

An arboretum is a collection of trees Related collections include a fruticetum (from the Latin frutex, meaning shrub and a viticetum a collection of vines The great majority of students live on campus. The renovated library has unusually large holdings for a college of its size. It includes special collections of Albert Einstein, Mary McCarthy, and Elizabeth Bishop.

In its early years, Vassar was associated with the social elite of the Protestant establishment. E. Digby Baltzell writes that "upper-class WASP families . E Digby Baltzell (Edward Digby Baltzell was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1915 to a wealthy Episcopalian family White Anglo-Saxon Protestant, commonly abbreviated to the Acronym WASP, is a sociological and cultural Ethnonym . . educated their children at . . . colleges such as Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Vassar, and Smith among other elite colleges.

In recent freshman classes, minority students have comprised up to 27% of matriculants. International students from over 45 countries comprise 8% of the student body. In May of 2007, falling in with its commitment to diverse and equitable education, Vassar returned to a need-blind admissions policy wherein students are admitted by their academic and personal qualities, without regard to financial status. Need-blind admission is a term in the US denoting a College admission policy in which the admitting institution claims not to consider an applicant's financial situation

While each field of study has specific requirements for majors, the only universal requirements for graduation are proficiency in a foreign language, a quantitative course, and a freshman writing course. Students are also strongly encouraged to study abroad, which they typically do during one or two semesters of their junior year. Students (usually juniors) may apply for a year or a semester away either in the U. S. or abroad. Vassar sponsors programs in China, England, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Morocco, Spain and Russia; students may also join preapproved programs offered by other colleges. Students may also apply for approved programs at various U. S. institutions, including the historically Black colleges and members of the Twelve College Exchange.

All classes are taught by members of the faculty, and there are almost no graduate students and no teachers' assistants. The most popular majors are English, political science, psychology, and economics.

Future

Davison, one of Vassar's nine residence houses, will be renovated during the 2008-2009 school year. The dorm will go offline for that year and its residents will be absorbed into the college's remaining residence houses. [9] This is the second dorm to be renovated as part of the school's master plan to renovate all dorms, following Jewett a few years earlier. Lathrop is scheduled to be renovated during the 2010-2011 school year.

The interior and exterior of the Van Ingen Art Library will be renovated from June 2008 - May 2009 in an effort to restore its original design and appearance. This will be the library's first major renovation since its construction in 1937. Year 1937 ( MCMXXXVII) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. [10]

The school's bookstore, currently located on campus and operated by Barnes and Noble, will be moved during the 2009-2010 school year to an off-campus location. Barnes & Noble Inc is the largest book retailer in the United States, operating mainly through its Barnes & Noble Booksellers chain of Bookstores [11] The expanded bookstore is expected to carry a wider range of merchandise and will serve as a venue for appropriate entertainment.
