| Summary | "Earliest Years at Vassar: Personal Recollections" by Frances Ann Wood is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work provides a personal perspective on the formative years of Vassar College, focusing on its beginnings when it was one of the first institutions established for women's higher education. The narrative reflects on the unique experiences, challenges, and triumphs of early students and staff, painting a vivid picture of college life during a pivotal time in the history of women's education. The opening of the recollections sets the stage for a nostalgic journey through the history of Vassar College, highlighting the evolving customs, academic structures, and social dynamics from its inception. Wood introduces the college's founding figures, such as Matthew Vassar and Dr. Raymond, and offers anecdotes from early faculty members and students. The text reveals the struggles for legitimacy and acceptance of women's education, alongside the delightful warmth of the close-knit community that characterized the college in its early days.
