| dbo:abstract | Adeline Lydia „Ada“ Howard (* 19. Dezember 1829 in , New Hampshire; † 3. März 1907) war eine US-amerikanische Pädagogin und Hochschullehrerin. Sie war die erste Präsidentin des Wellesley College. (de) Ada Lydia Howard (December 19, 1829 - March 3, 1907) was the first president of Wellesley College. She received a postgraduate education under private teachers and went on to teach at Western College, Ohio from 1861-62. She was also the principal of the Female Seminary at Knox College, Illinois from 1866-69. In 1870, she became headmistress of Ivy Hall Seminary, a private school in Bridgeton, N.J. that had been founded in 1861.http://cumberlandnjart.org/cumberland-historic-sites/david-sheppard-house/ In 1875 she was chosen by founder Henry Fowle Durant to become the first president of Wellesley College, Mass. This promotion made Howard the first woman president of a college in the world. Here she worked in full harmony with Mr. and Mrs. Durant and her labors in furthering the plans of the founders were unremitting up to the time of the death of Mr. Durant in 1881. In that year, her failure in health demanded immediate and complete rest and the trustees gave her leave of absence, but finding herself unable to resume her duties, she resigned in 1882. In appreciation of her work at Wellesley, the alumnae, in 1890, placed in the art gallery a life-size portrait of their first president, and a scholarship was established in her honor, known as the Ada L. Howard scholarship. Her subsequent life was passed in rest and travel, as her continued ill-health called for frequent change of climate. She was obliged to restrict her literary work to occasional articles for leading magazines. She received from Mount Holyoke college the honorary degree of Litt.D. in 1900.She died on Sunday, March 3, 1907. (en) |
