Mount Hermon Female Seminary (1875—1924) in Clinton, Mississippi was a historically black institution of higher education for women.[1]

History

[edit]

Founded in 1875 by Sarah Ann Dickey,[2] the school was patterned after Dickey's alma mater, Mount Holyoke Female Seminary (now Mount Holyoke College).[3] The school was funded in part by the Slater Fund for the Education of Freedman from its founding until 1891.[4]

After Sarah Ann Dickey's death in 1903, the school was passed on to the American Missionary Association.[1] By 1908, the Mount Hermon Female Seminary had 110 students and 6 teachers.[1] The seminary was eventually closed in 1924 by the American Missionary Association, which had its own college in Tougaloo, Mississippi.[4]
