Wellesley Model Chosen for Sir Francis Cook College Plan
Sir Caspar Purdon Clarke, director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, says London’s Sir Francis Cook College for poor girls should mirror Wellesley College as a democratic model. He visited Vassar first, found it aristocratic, then noted Wellesley educated daughters of modest means and supported building in London with a $250,000 gift from Sir Francis. He argues Vassar favors luxury and class, while Wellesley embodies equal access to arts and sciences for aspiring women.
