Shot between 1929 and 1932, this silent home movie footage shows scenes at Vassar College in Dutchess County, New York. Founded in 1861 by Matthew Vassar, Vassar was the second degree-granting institution of higher education for women in the USA; it didn't become co-educational until 1969. The film includes footage of the campus grounds and buildings, and shots of students on bicycles, swimming, picnicking, riding horses, dancing, and dressed up to perform a play (4:00). It also includes what might be a May Day celebration (5:00) and graduation ceremony (6:00).
