- Asheville_Female_College abstract "The Asheville Female College was the first institution of higher education in the western portion of North Carolina, founded as the Asheville Female Seminary in 1841 by John Dickson, M.D. and Rev. Erasmus Rowley, D.D. The school had its first quarters on the corner of Patton Avenue and Church Street in Asheville, North Carolina.Sometime between 1842 and 1866 the school became the property of the Holston Conference, and its name was changed to the Holston Conference Female College and later Asheville Female College. It found a home in other buildings on what later became its permanent campus, a 7-acre (2.8 ha) grove almost in the heart of Asheville. A newer building was built by the president Rev. James Atkins, A.M., D.D, and J.A. Branner in 1888. With the growth of buildings and equipment there was corresponding growth in the breadth of the curriculum and in those departments which but for the impartation of the various accomplishments which so generally adorn the young women of the day. The personnel and equipment for teaching music, art in various forms, elocution, modern languages, physical culture, etc., were of a high order. On these accounts, together with the unparalleled climate of Asheville, women from twenty-three states, many of them very remote, sought admittance to the college. The school came to attract quite a number of pupils from the North and North-west United States, so that the patronage was much more cosmopolitan in its character than perhaps of any other school in the South. In the first fifty-two years of its history it had matriculated more than eight thousand pupils, most of whom went on to lend the skills of an educated and accomplished womanhood to the homes and circles of which they became a part.".
