Like David you have chosen … your own life to serve your generation by the will of God. The generation to come after you will be the better served thereby. I trust that God will spare you to witness the practical & successful operation of the plans you have so generously devised I suppose you have received many suggestions as to the kind of training to be given in the Institution, but I cannot refrain from submitting this to your Consideration, that a depart--ment[department] of instruction in household duties should be established. It is lamentable to think that while custom prescribes a cause of instruction adapted to fit young ladies to perform their [act] gracefully in society, it demands almost nothing to qualify them to preside over the domestic arrangements of the family. I believe that grater[sic] discontent in occasioned in households by the wane of practical knowledge in this aspect than in any other Let us have if need be a little less knwledges[sic] of Latin & Music and a little more of the mode of taking care of a household I bid you God speed my friend in this laudable under-[taking]taking[undertaking] It is a high [brow] to have your name associated in future times with such an enterprise With my kindest regards to Mrs Vassar I remain with great esteem Yrs[yours] etc Wm[William] F.

This scrapbook covers Adelaide (Claflin) Mansfield’s years at Vassar, from 1893 through 1897. She provided materials about Vassar traditions such as Thanksgiving, Founder’s Day, the Sophomore Party, the Senior Parlor, Halloween, Trig Ceremonies, Tree Ceremonies, Commencement, Field Day, the Mohonk trip, Junior-Senior Excursions, Class Day, and songs for a variety of occasions. She also described protests over the College’s decision to stop giving Washington’s Birthday as a holiday. Claflin pasted photographs of campus into the volume as well. During her time at Vassar, Claflin participated in the Young Women’s Christian Association (saving documents from prayer meetings, receptions, and attending the Convention of the Young Women's Christian Association of the State of New York in 1895) and the VC Teachers’ Club, debated for T. and M., and enjoyed student athletics like basketball and the annual tennis tournament. She also included programs from plays and concerts on and off campus, including by the Philalethean Society, Exoteric Society, and Glee Club. Claflin preserved memories of her social life at Vassar, such as visiting cards, invitations, place cards, poems, valentines and correspondence from friends, and friends’ wedding announcements (the end of the scrapbook lists some engagements, marriages, births, and deaths for her class). She also saved receipts for board and tuition, laundry, and her subscription to the Miscellany. In terms of her academics at Vassar, Claflin kept examinations, notes, and her class schedules. She included some correspondence with librarians, professors (such as Susan B. Franklin, Lucy Maynard Salmon, and Abby Leach), and Lady Principal Kendrick. She transcribed a lecture on rhetoric by Professor Manuel J. Drennan as well. Claflin also depicted Vassar’s political climate during the presidential election of 1896.
