1904-1905 catalog of the elite Washington DC finishing school, National Park Seminary For Young Women. Founded in 1894 by John and Vesta Cassedy, the school lasted until its eclectic campus and grounds were taken over by Walter Reed Medical Hospital as a rehabilitation center. Contents detail the 1903-1904 faculty, student body, social culture programs, courses of study, well illustrated details of the campus, regulations, expenses, etc. The campus was rehabilitated into a residential community in recent years. A fascinating glimpse at turn-of-the-century upper class women's education in the nation's capital.
