A post about ladies' tuition at Augusta Female Seminary, now known as Mary Baldwin University.

This advertisement from the "Republican Vindicator" in Staunton from July 23, 1849 details the education a young lady could expect at the Augusta Female Seminary, later known as Mary Baldwin University. Founded in 1842 by the Presbyterian ministry, Augusta Female Seminary aimed to “afford the means of a thorough literary and Christian education to the female youth of this portion of our country.” Take a look at the price for each course, not to mention a rent of not more than $50 per term!
