Talk:Goucher College

Baltimore Female College
What was Baltimore Female College? I don't see it discussed in the history section here. Here are some documents related to it. FloridaArmy (talk) 14:20, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Interesting question! I don't have time at the moment to look into it, but I did fix the link you posted (the quote-characters were breaking things). DMacks (talk) 14:46, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Ok, one quick lead. In File:Fourth_Annual_Report_of_the_Baltimore_Female_College%2C_to_the_General_Assembly_of_Maryland._(IA_fourthannualrepo1865balt).pdf p4, Nathan C. Brooks is listed as present. His WP article says he was the first and only president of Baltimore Female College, from around 1849 until it closed 1890. That does not seem to correspond with being a predecessor or old name of Goucher, since Goucher was originally Women's College of Baltimore as founded in 1885. So the transiently-existing Baltimore Female College redirect that points to Goucher is indeed not correct. Brooks's refs might be useful leads. DMacks (talk) 14:52, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
