Description
This volume covers Abbie Rankin Holden's first year at Vassar College. She wrote mostly about relationships with friends, family and class mates; however she devoted the bulk of the diary to her great love for the Mental and Moral Philosophy teacher, Miss Lepha N. Clarke. Her friends said she was smashed on Miss Clarke, but she didn't describe her adoration in those terms. She also mentioned Ned Holden, who may have been the Horace Holden she married in 1879.
