Vassar College

This volume does not yet have a transcript. It covers September 1876 through January 1877. Frances Bromley (VC ex-1879) was a prolific diarist, contributing seven diaries to Vassar College spanning 1872-1877. In 1876, Bromley entered Vassar College after some time as a teacher and tutor. Bromley's diaries contain reflections on her day-to-day activities, literature and biblical quotes, and observations about those around her, whether with her family in Castleton, at Vassar College (1876-1877), or during her teaching experiences in Cohoes, NY (1875). Bromley also writes extensively of illnesses throughout her diaries. After her departure from Vassar in 1877, she returns to classroom teaching and private tutoring.
