法萨尔大学 (Vassar College) 的创办人--马修.法萨尔 (Matthew Vassar) 生于1792429

法萨尔女子大学在18611月得到政府许可成立,并且在18659月正式对外招生,当时共有353位学生与30位教职员,其中大部分都是女性。虽然现在已经是男女合校了,但是法萨尔大学仍然是美国最顶尖的文学艺术大学之一。该学校的毕业生包括了1917年毕业,也是第一位因为诗作而赢得普利兹奖 (Pulitzer Prize) 的爱德娜.圣文森.蜜莱 (Edna St. Vincent Millay) ;以及1878年毕业的第一位女性妇科医生海伦.普特南 (Helen C. Putnam) ;以及1974年毕业的维琪.麦尔斯.拉格兰基 (Vicki Miles-LaGrange) ,她是第一位宣誓成为美国律师的非裔美国女性。

想想看,成为美国首批进入大学就读的女性,感受会是如何呢?


Vassar Female College was chartered in January 1861. It opened in September 1865 with 353 students and thirty faculty members, most of them women. Now coed, Vassar continues to be ranked among the top liberal arts colleges in the U.S. Graduates include Edna St. Vincent Millay (1917), the first woman to win a Pulitzer Prize for poetry; Helen C. Putnam (1878), one of the first woman gynecologists; and Vicki Miles-LaGrange (1974), the first African American woman to be sworn in as a U.S. Attorney.

Think about what it must have been like to be one of the first women in the country able to go to college.
