Description
Frances Bromley (VC ex-1879) was a prolific diarist, contributing seven diaries to Vassar College spanning 1872-1877. The year 1877 was Bromley's last year at Vassar; she realizes that maybe I won't need any room there next year (p. 176), foreshadowing her departure with the College. By the end of the year, she living at home again in Castleton, Vermont, excited for the student literary periodical, The Miscellany, to arrive. Bromley's diaries contain reflections on her day-to-day activities, literature and biblical quotes, and observations about those around her, whether with her family in Castleton, at Vassar College (1876-1877), or during her teaching experiences in Cohoes, NY (1875). Bromley also writes extensively of illnesses throughout her diaries. After her departure from Vassar in 1877, she returns to classroom teaching and private tutoring.
