"ABBOT ACADEMY was founded
in 1829, the first incorporated school in New England for the
education of young women alone. In the Constitution drawn up
in that year by the first Board of Trustees, its purpose is thus
stated: To form the immortal mind to habits suited to an immortal
being, and to instil principles of conduct and form the character,
for an immortal destiny.' This purpose has for eighty-nine years
controlled the policy of the school."--[From Abbot Academy
Catalogne.] |
