1945 RUSSELL SAGE LEAVES COLLEGE YEARBOOK Troy New York Suffragist Emma Willard
Condition is very good. No writing. (see pictures).
RSC was founded in 1916 by Margaret Olivia Slocum Sage, a suffragist, as a \"school of practical arts.\" She named the college after her husband, Russell, who was an American financier, railroad executive and Congressman from New York. With Eliza Kellas, head of the Emma Willard School, Mrs. Sage was active in the women\'s suffrage movement; in founding the new college, they proposed to offer women the means of independence through the combination of broad education in the liberal arts with preparation for specific professional careers.
Initially, the college operated under the charter of the Emma Willard School, granting its first baccalaureate degree in 1918 and graduating its first class in 1920. In 1927, the New York State Board of Regents granted a separate charter for Russell Sage College and reaffirmed the status of Emma Willard as a secondary school.During World War II, an \"emergency men\'s division\" was created, and in 1942 the first graduate degree was conferred.
