Ivy League: Wellesley College
Nowadays, while the number of students in women's colleges has dropped sharply, the number of students in Wellesley is still expanding, which shows that the charm of Ivy League is second to none. Students from all over the world came here and became her branches and leaves in succession. No wonder she will always be an ivy.
Mission: Wesley's mission is to provide the best education for every woman who wants to change the world. Wellesley students' school motto also reflects the personality endowed by the school: "It is a habit to pursue Excellence", "Say what you want to say, even though your voice is trembling" and "expect the best of women, that is, what you will get in the future".
Features: Wellesley College is located in Massachusetts. It only enrolls girls but not boys, so it is also called Wellesley Women's College. Wellesley College is a world of monochromatic women, from the dean of the college to the captain of the football team, all of them are women.
Wellesley college students come from all over the United States, and they are all elites, because they are selected from the elites who account for 5% of the fresh high school graduates. They receive a very high level of education in universities so that they can take power in the future and even run for the presidency of the United States. Wellesley College has a four-year academic system, and its courses include politics, science and economics, but they are all in the first stage of university. Wellesley College has a high quality of teaching and ranks fourth among the most famous colleges in the United States.
Wellesley college girls are also keen on basketball, football, rugby and other sports activities. So all the team competitions are won by Wellesley college girls, which has become a tradition with American characteristics.
Historical environment: Wellesley College was founded in 1870 with a history of more than 35 years. The 500-acre campus is more like a big garden, with beautiful Gothic schoolhouses and charming lakes. In addition to classrooms and dormitories, there are various facilities on campus, such as parks, churches, bars, theaters and so on. Roads and streets connecting various buildings and facilities crisscross, making the campus like a small city in New England.
Celebrity atmosphere: Wellesley College has produced many celebrities. For example, Soong Ching Ling and Song Meiling both graduated from this school. 1959, Albright got a diploma in political science here with excellent comments. Decades later, she became President Clinton's Secretary of State. Hillary graduated here from 65438 to 0969, and later she married Clinton and became the first lady of the United States.
An Ivy League soaring into the sky: Smith College.
As Wellesley's sister flower, Smith is recognized as one of the ten most difficult universities in the United States, and her courses are very compact and strict. Perhaps, this vine just doesn't want to climb along a big tree. Her dream is to climb the tallest skyscraper in America.
Mission: Smith College pays attention to cultivating students' high-quality ability to guide and change the world, and to cultivating women's indomitable quality. Clark Silei, Dean of Smith College, pointed out: "University education is not to make a woman fit for a certain field and occupation, but to develop all her talents through well-planned means, so she may become a more perfect woman in any position."
Historical environment: Smith College, built in 187 1, gives us an opportunity to see that at the beginning of its establishment, a women's college offered almost the same level of courses as the best male university at that time. The school's initial course catalogue clearly put forward the view that the college does not intend to adapt women to a certain field or occupation, but to improve her intelligence through the best way suggested by philosophy and experience.
Features: Smith College chose Greek as the basic criterion for recruiting new students, which was the most demanding among all women's colleges at that time.
Miracle Ivy League: Brynmore College
Many people have commented on her like this: a rare engineering school. Just because she is the university with the highest proportion of doctors and masters among the total number of students in the United States. What else can I say? Maybe she is really good at working miracles.
Historical environment: Bryan Moore College devoted itself to providing higher-level academic courses for women when it opened its doors at 1885. This college is the first women's college to award a doctorate. The college is located in Bryan Moore (Welsh meaning? High mountain? ) Village, about 9 miles west of Philadelphia. Its 135 acre campus, designed by landscape architects Frederick Law Olmsted and calvert Vaux, is considered as one of the most beautiful university campuses in China.
Humanistic characteristics: Brian Moore's students come from all over the world, and nearly a quarter of the students in the college have different skin colors. Brian Moore is committed to making every student think positively, make good plans and self-guidance for his life, and make contributions to the world.
The oldest Ivy League: Mount Holyoke College.
Just one sentence is enough to make you look at her differently: the oldest history of women's colleges and the most beautiful American campus.
Mission: to teach women with the highest level of theoretical courses and to cultivate women's liberal arts quality purposefully.
Achievements: When Monterey York 1837 officially started school, there were two major reforms in female education. She laid down strict academic theoretical requirements and harsh courses, which was obviously incompatible with the domestic teaching policy at that time. At that time, people thought that women were inferior to men both physically and intellectually. In addition, the donation of the college is to ensure its durability and ensure higher academic principles for the next generation of female students. Because of this remarkable achievement, Mary Lyon, the founder of the school, finally confirmed what she once said: Go where others have never been and do what others have never done, and she will become famous.
A prestigious Ivy League school: Vasa College.
In fact, the author should not merge Vasa into one of the Ivy League schools, because in 1969, she actually began to recruit boys and became a co-educational school. But that didn't stop her fame from spreading everywhere. Because, even if the form is different, her belief is still there: women who get the same intellectual structure from the creator have the same right to cultivate and develop intelligence as men.
Historical environment: Wasser Women's College is the pioneer of American women's higher education. She was founded in 186 1 with the aim of "providing young women with everything that first-class universities provide for young men". Its high standards, advanced equipment and powerful teachers are in the forefront of women's higher education in terms of study and physical training. It has largely become a model for women's universities.
Features: In the early curriculum of wasser, some adjustments were made to adapt to women's unique fields, but housekeeping was never included in the teaching agenda. President Raymond believes that women's colleges should at least follow the established policy of men's colleges until they gain a firm foothold and create their own reputation. He believes that the value of women's colleges lies in their residential study system, rather than a set of courses and teaching contents different from those of men's universities.
? Seven Sisters? What about the other two? Sisters? Barnard College has been merged into Columbia University and Radcliffe College has been merged into Harvard University. Although it no longer exists as an independent women's college, it has been devoted to the cultivation and research of women's education.
