About the book

In her thought-provoking address, «Why Go to College?», Alice Freeman Palmer explores the profound implications of higher education in the context of early 20th-century America. With a compelling narrative style that combines personal anecdotes and philosophical insights, Palmer articulates the transformative power of college not just as an institution of learning, but as a crucial crucible for character development and civic engagement. Her words resonate within the broader literary tradition of educational discourse, reflecting the societal shifts of her time and advocating for the importance of both intellectual and moral growth. Alice Freeman Palmer, a pioneering figure in women's education and the first female president of Wellesley College, draws upon her extensive experience in academia to craft this address. Her tenure in educational leadership during a time of burgeoning opportunities for women provides her with a unique perspective on the necessity of pursuing an education that fosters independence and empowerment. Palmer's own journey underscores her commitment to advocating for educational reform that includes a diverse demographic of students. This essential read invites readers to reconsider their views on higher education, making it indispensable for students, educators, and those passionate about the academic landscape. Palmer's eloquent defense of college as a vital stepping stone to informed citizenship and personal growth remains relevant today, making this address an inspiring beacon for anyone contemplating their educational journey.
