Scope and Contents:
The Jennings Seminary Curriculum Notes include five items related to proposed revisions to the Seminary’s curriculum for the 1907 school year.
The Jennings Seminary was a school established in Aurora, Illinois in the 1850s. By 1906 and 1907, the Seminary had transitioned into a high school for young women.
These notes discuss possible reconfigurations to the English and Latin courses at the Jennings Seminary in Aurora, Illinois for the 1907 school year. There are notes about which classes a student should take during each year, what materials should be used during the Latin I class, and what materials should be used in the Classics classes (including Hiawatha, Julius Caesar, Ancient Mariner). There is no indication of who wrote these notes.
These notes were found with the Seminary’s 1905-1906 catalogue (see Cp. J44H 1905/06 in the library catalog) and separated as a small archival collection in 2025.
