Home About Us Actives Alumnae ... Site Directory Please update your browser. Birth date: February 21 Now that the Palmer Society is celebrating an over eighty year history as a strong female influence on the Whittier College Campus it is a good time to look back on our namesake and honor her innovative attitudes and her amazing achievements. Alice Freeman was born in 1855 to a farmer in New York State. She was the eldest of four children. Her father had greater aspirations than farming and left his family in order to gain further education and went on to become a doctor. Alice and her mother ran the farm and raised the other children in his absence. Alice wanted desperately to go to college but at that time 0.7% of all young women 18-21 were attending college, and a poor family like hers would not waste money on educating a girl when they had boys to raise and educate. Alice promised her parents that if she were allowed to attend school she would help to pay for her younger siblings educations as well. Her parents agreed and in 1872 Alice Freemen began attending the University of Michigan. Only two years earlier U of M had begun allowing women to attend classes.

Palmer, Alice Elvira Freeman (1855-1902), educator Born in Colesville, near Binghamton, New York, on February 21, 1855, Alice Freeman had taught herself to read by the time she entered local district school at the age of four. In 1872 she sat for the entrance examination at the University of Michigan, then the foremost university to which women were admitted, and although she proved deficient in some areas, the deep impression she made on President James B. Angell induced him to admit her. She quickly made up her deficiencies and graduated in 1876. Over the next three years she taught school in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, and then served as head of the high school in Saginaw, Michigan, while pursuing graduate studies at the university in the summers. The need to support her family forced her to decline offers from Henry F. Durant of instructorships in mathematics and then in Greek at Wellesley College in 1877 and 1878, but in 1879 she was at last free to accept the post of head of the history department. On the death of Durant in October 1881 and the resignation of President Ada L. Howard in the next month, Freeman was named vice president and acting president of Wellesley. In 1882 she became president. In the same year, she was awarded an honorary Ph.D. by the University of Michigan. In her five years as president of Wellesley she created much of the framework of faculty and student organization that would be carried on long after. She was particularly successful in raising academic standards and in establishing a system of 15 preparatory schools around the country to supply students to the college. She was a founder in 1881 of the Association of Collegiate Alumnae (later the

13. Charlotte Hawkins Brown - Former Campus Structures Named in honor of noted New England educator Alice Freeman Palmer (18551902),this building was the heart and soul of the PMI campus. http://www.ah.dcr.state.nc.us/sections/hs/chb/early-buildings.htm

Former Campus Structures Charlotte Hawkins Brown Museum Early Wooden Buildings on the Palmer Memorial Institute Campus The campus of Palmer Memorial Institute, ca. 1915 The large structure in the center is Memorial Hall. To the left is the Domestic Science Cottage, and to the right is Grew Hall (a dormitory), followed by the Industrial Building. B efore the construction of the Alice Freeman Palmer Building, PMI's first brick structure, four wood frame buildings were built on the campus. To accomplish this Charlotte Hawkins Brown, with the help of students, began a letter-writing project in 1902. The initial project netted five hundred dollars. With this money and other donations the first new building was erected in 1905. Memorial Hall was a three-story building with an inviting appearance. The first floor included classrooms, offices, a library, and a dining room. The second floor was the chapel and the third floor was the girls' dormitory. Its wide porch ran across the entire front of the building, which made it seem like home to students and teachers alike. The kitchen was located away from the main building. Memorial Hall brought about a genuine feeling of togetherness on the campus. It was the center of campus activity and it may be that in this accomplishment the true Palmer spirit was born. In 1909, Mary R. Grinnell, an early PMI supporter, sent funds to Brown for a new home economics building. When completed it was dedicated as the
