Kirkland College was the female counterpart to Hamilton College from 1965 – 1978 when Hamilton was still an all-male institution. Jeremy will be giving an historical overview of this school, what it was trying to accomplish and why it was ultimately absorbed into Hamilton College. It’s short but rich history is contained within the Kirkland College Records.
