This book contains the history of an early co-ed New York Academy and Medical College with many eminent alumnae...From dust jacket: "An even 150 years have passed since the Fairfield Academy on April 13, 1803, opened its doors for classes in the tiny hill-top village of Fairfield, in Herkimer, New York. Nine years later it greeted its sister institution, the Fairfield Medical College, which had just received its Charter. Excepting among specialists in the history of American Education, memory of the fame and of the superb achievements of the two schools scarcely remains, and to make clear the impact made by them, not only upon the immediate areas which they were erected to serve, but upon all parts of the State of New York and all those other States from which students hailed, is the purpose of "Tip Of the Hill"." Illustrated with black and white plates.
