Excerpt from The Curriculum of the Woman's College
In 1886 President James Monroe Taylor was inaugurated, and the next year brought the Revised Curriculum. Severe criticism, public and private, and a formal protest in 1882 from the alumnae in Boston had stimulated investigation and modification. Attendance was fall. Ing off and Vassar was not holding her own with other colleges for women. Whether this loss was due to conservatism within the college or to the attraction of the other colleges, the alumnae did not know, but they were sure the condition could be relieved.

The study focuses on five prominent institutions: Vassar College, Wellesley College, Radcliffe College, Barnard College, and Mount Holyoke College.
