Acadia Ladies' Seminary

Description
The Acadia Ladies' Seminary was a school for young ladies founded in Wolfville, N.S. Though it had it's roots in Rev. John Chase's school for young ladies, it opened in 1861 as the Grand Pre Seminary with Alice Shaw as Principal. In 1872 it became the “Female Department” of Horton Academy, and in 1865 the Academy, including the Seminary, came under the control of Acadia College. After 1872 the Seminary was moved to the Acadia campus, and in 1877 it, with the Academy, passed into the hands of the Board of Governors of the University. In 1879 a building was built specifically to accommodate the Seminary. In 1926 President Patterson merged the Acadia Ladies’ Seminary and the Acadia Collegiate and Business Academy to form the pre-college co-educational school known as the Horton Academy of Acadia University.

This collection consists of records from the Acadia Ladies' Seminary, and its students. Included are the two student publications, the Thistle, and the Pierian.
