Item #38829 The College Settlements Association was formed in 1890, "to bring all college women within the scope of a common purpose and a common work" establishing branches in twelve colleges in the cities of New York, Philadelphia, Boston, and Baltimore, such as Wellesley, Bryn Mawr, Smith, Vassar, the Annex (Harvard).
