About This Item
Waco, Texas, 1893. Good. Black and white photograph measuring 10" x 12½" on slightly larger mount. Captioned on verso identifying all subjects. About good: several chips and losses, all at edges and corners, to photo and mount.
This is a photograph of the 18 young women who graduated from Waco Female College (WFC) in 1893.
WFC was a private college, affiliated with the Methodist Episcopal Church, that operated from 1857 to 1895. Its buildings and land were then purchased by Add-Ran Christian University, which became Texas Christian University and relocated to Fort Worth after a fire in 1910.
The back of the photograph identifies all the graduates of the class of 1893, including their home towns. A few also include class rank or role, such as the valedictorian, historian, "poetess" and "prophetess." A detailed article on the graduation ceremony that we found online contains a sketched illustration clearly modeled after this photograph.
A rare graduation class photo from a lesser known women's college in Texas, captioned to lend itself to further research. Not found in OCLC or online.
