YELLOW SPRINGS OHIO ~ Antioch College

Description: It's that time of my life where downsizing is required, so I'm selling my postcard collection - post cards with specific topics that have interested me, as well as those I have accumulated over the years. Time for others to enjoy and add these cards to their collection. The first group of postcards I put up for auction were my Valentine Day cards. Now I'm going through and randomly pulling out some nice cards. If there are any places or topics you'd like to see up for auction, please let me know. This will probably take a while - probably a good summer project. Check out the photos for condition ! Mailed in a sturdy envelope for protection. ENJOY!!! Here is a nice view of the "new" men's dorm building at Antioch College in the Ohio town of Yellow Springs ! Nice card !!! "Horace Mann, first president of Antioch College, was an abolitionist and educational visionary. He was father of Antioch College and of the American public school. We celebrate his role in leading the College and for providing generations of Antiochians with the ethical direction to win victories for humanity. In the spirit of Horace Mann, Antioch College believes a healthy democratic society requires institutions that act as catalysts for change and laboratories for invention. This is a role that Antioch College has played throughout its history; the effort to restore it is among the most significant and compelling opportunities in higher education today. Antioch College has been a pioneering and values-driven secular institution since it was founded in 1850. The College was among the first nonsectarian educational institutions in the United States. It was the first coeducational college in the nation to offer the same educational opportunities to both men and women and it was the first to appoint a woman to its faculty and to its Board of Trustees. It was also among the first to offer African-Americans equal educational opportunities. Throughout the generations, Antioch College faculty, students, staff, and alumni have committed themselves to important causes. Consistent with its curriculum of study and work, Antioch College has always given equal weight to understanding theory, to engaging in practice and to taking action."
