ABSTRACT
At first, Taylor wanted to build a women’s school with Haverford, which would share certain facilities and faculty with the male college. However, on advice that the two schools would flourish better separately, he decided on a separate campus, five miles from Haverford, in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. He then consulted SMITH COLLEGE president L. Clark Seelye, who advocated a mixed faculty of men and women and a liberal arts curriculum without a preparatory track, which he believed lowered the overall quality of a college-level education.
