Title

Young Women’s Attendance Room 2nd Floor - Room 50.

Description

This is another image potentially depicting one of the Friday Conversations, which were voluntary meetings that all female students were invited to attend. During these conversations female faculty members would teach the young women about subjects of practical and professional character. Despite being voluntary, the meetings were well attended as faculty members offered the young women life advice that they would not have the chance to learn in the classroom.
