Title A name given to the resource Monticello College Collection Subject The topic of the resource Women's colleges Universities and colleges Monticello College Monticello Female Seminary Haskell, Harriet, 1835-1907 Illinois--Godfrey Godfrey, Benjamin, 1794-1862 Description An account of the resource Monticello College first began as the Monticello Female Seminary in 1838. Founded by Captain Benjamin Godfrey to provide education for women, the school offered two years of classes for attendees based on the idea that “if you educate a man you educate an individual; educate a woman and you educate a whole family.” Godfrey selected Reverend Theron Baldwin to serve as the first head of the Monticello Female Seminary. In 1867 Harriet Haskell became principal, a position she held until her death in 1907.  On November 4, 1888, a fire broke out in the building and consumed the entire structure. Ms. Haskell and the school's Board of Trustees successfully fundraised for a new building and rebuilt the school in two years. The school's leadership made the decision to close the school in 1970 with the final class graduating in 1971. Lewis and Clark Community College completed the purchase of the Monticello College campus in 1972.

I think we have now about enough Democrats in high position in the army (for which I was, as yo well know) and we may as well now take care of our friends. His highest aim is major-ship, and if there are still field officers places at your command, I would strongly recommend him. Yours very truly G Koerner Gov. R.

Belleville Sept. 9. 61 Dear Sir, This is to introduce Frank Anderson Esqr, of Sparta, a [illegible] gentleman and excellent Republican. He wants to join the service, will even go as a private, though his position, age & family will hardly allow of that. Randolph has furnished so many companies, that he cannot well raise a Company there. If you can confer some grade upon him you would certainly gratify his very numerous friends. Yours very truly G.

Belleville Sept. 9.1861. Dear Sir I understand that Gov. Hoffman offers to make up another German Regiment. The experience in St. Louis, where Fremont has authorized the making up of several Regiments at the same time has shown the great impropriety of such as course. He has now some ten fragments of Regiments, and not one full yet. He has now issued an order to consolidate them thereby disappointing a great many men, and in fact imposing on some, who enlisted under particular men as officers, who are now thrown out. I would suggest not to commission Gov. Hoffman to raise men, until my Regiment is full. I will get this week two fine Companies from Sigels former Regiment (Illinoisans) who have fought at Carthage & Springfield, but who prefer now to enroll in Illinois. I expect to have at the end of the week some 6 Companies in Camp. I have offers of parts of Companies from various parts of the State but it takes time to consolidate them and fix them up. Direct the Adjutant General to send me a certain number of Passes, the names of Captais to be left blank. I have an immense trouble with the Railroad unless I have such passes. There is no telegraph office open <hr /> here now, and I cannot therefore telegraph for passes. I beg you to attend to this, as it will help me most materially. Yours very truly G Koerner Gov. R.
