It was colorful Sea Captain Benjamin Godfrey's third fortune that established Monticello Female Seminary in 1835, os o non-sectarian, independent institution. One hundred twenty-five years ago, the idea of educating women in liberal arts was practically unheard of, but Godfrey and the school's first president, Theron Baldwin, a member of the famous “Yale Band ' firmly believed that “to educate a man is to educate an individual, but to educate a woman is to educate a family.'' This belief built Monticello's history — a history of people like the strong willed Harriet Newell Haskell; and events like the destructive fire of 1888. From this heritage comes the friendly, gracious, dignified atmosphere which always provokes the comment, That must be a Monti girl. Monticello's atmosphere has two personalities — one seen in the glistening chandelier, the candlelight glow of a Chapel service, or faces around small dining room tables; the other new and vital — that which keeps Monti progressing. Coll it the Program for Progress or Challenge with Change, it is everywhere evident ....
