History
Two years following the creation of the Wheaton Female Seminary (now Wheaton College), founder Mary Lyon had raised $15,000 to build Mount Holyoke Female Seminary, which opened its doors in 1837. Mount Holyoke Female Seminary received its collegiate charter in 1888, becoming Mount Holyoke Seminary and College. The name was not simplified until 1893.
