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.

Lucas Collection Description An account of the resource Scott Wike Lucas was an Illinois attorney and politician. Born in Cass County, Illinois, on February 19, 1892, Lucas attended public schools and Illinois Wesleyan University, where he played baseball and other college sports. While in college, during his summers, he played baseball in the Three-I League, a semiprofessional baseball league organized in Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa. After college, Lucas attended law school and was admitted to the bar in 1915. Lucas served in the United States Army during World War I, rising to the rank of lieutenant. He would later continue his military association by serving as commander of the Illinois Department of the American Legion. After serving as state's attorney for Mason County in the 1920s, Lucas ran in the 1932 Democratic primary as a candidate for the United States Senate from Illinois; however, he lost his primary bid to William H. Dieterich. Governor Henry Horner then appointed Lucas chairman of the State Tax Commission, which Lucas directed from 1933 to 1935. In 1934, Lucas won election to the United States House of Representatives from Illinois. Four years later, he won election to the U.S. Senate and was reelected in 1944. Following President Harry S. Truman's reelection in 1948, Lucas became Senate Majority Leader. He served in that capacity only two years, losing the 1950 general election in Illinois to Republican Everett Dirksen. Lucas died on February 22, 1968. The Scott W. Lucas Collection consists of 38 photographs from Lucas' early life and political career. In addition to images of such influential American politicians as John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson, the collection contains several political cartoons satirizing Lucas and other politicians.

Commissioner FRENCH, who was in attendance upon the President and his household during the trying scenes of the great national calamity, has kindly furnished us with the following connected narrative of the terrible event: WASHINGTON, April 23, 1865. On Friday morning last, at 7 o'clock, all that was mortal of Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth President of these United States, was borne from the Capitol, taking their departure for his home in Illinois, where they are to rest until the final resurrection. The past week has been a sad one to the whole nation. It has been particularly sad for Washington; for here the unparalleled atrocity that deprived a people of a President whom they dearly loved and almost worshipped, and came near snatching from them a Secretary of State, particularly eminent for a head and a heart that gave him an exalted place in the affections of all who knew him, was committed; and as the awful news spread abroad on the wings of the lightning it carried with it sadness to every heart that beat responsive to the great principles of humanity which were so strongly implanted in the bosom of our beloved Chief Magistrate. At half-past ten o'clock on Friday evening, the 14th instant, the bullet of the assassin sped through the brain of his illustrious victim, and from that instant he was as if he were dead, although he continued to breathe until the next morning at 22 minutes past 7. That Friday night was an awful one for Washington. The theatre, where the horrid event occurred, was filled with people, and the appalling news spread, as it were, in a moment to all parts of the city, There was no sleep that night. The [rest of line illegible] startling call to all military men, and to all civilians who understand it __ was beat in the various camps within and about the city, and the troops were speedily under arms. "Ah! then and there was hurrying to and fro, And gathering tears, and tremblings of distress, And cheeks all pale, which, but an hour ago Blushed at the praise of their own loveliness. "And there was mounting in hot haste; the steed, The mastering squadron, and the clattering car Went pouring forward with impetuous speed, And swiftly forming in the ranks of war." Many knew not, for a time, what it all meant, but every one knew that some terrible calamity was upon us; and ere long the dread reality that our President had been assassinated, and our Secretary of State stricken down by the dagger of some fiend in human shape, came to be known and a cordon of troops was soon posted all around the city to prevent, if possible, any egress from it, and be prepared for any emergency that an extended conspiracy might render necessary. There was a general rush of our citizens to Tenth streeth, where in a dwelling opposite the theatre, lay the dying form of Abraham Lincoln, surrounded by his almost distracted wife, his weeping son, his Cabinet Ministers, generals, eminent physicians, and many others, whose positions gained them ready admittance to the side of the dying President. I stood at his bedside in the early hours of the morning, and there witnessed such a scene of solemnity and grief as I never saw before, and hope never to see again. "There was silence deep as death, And the boldest held his breath." as if it were almost sacrilege to interrupt the solemn stillness about that dying couch. The stern Secretary of War sat with his head bowed down in grief; the good and kind Secretary of the Navy stood as if transfixed with sorrow; the ever mild and sunny countenances of the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of the Interior, the Postmaster General and Attorney General were now overspread with the clouds of distress and mourning; Major General Halleck, who had naturally assumed the direction of affairs, was quietly moving about, fixing his large and most expressive eyes on everything that seemed to require attention, and directing, in whispered tones of sadness, what should be done. The noble form of Sumner, seated near the head of the bed, was bowed low, and tears were flowing from many, many eyes unused to weep. Not long after sunrise, I should think, (time could not well be counted, and the heavens were weeping in a gentle rain,) at the request of some of the personal friends of Mrs. Lincoln, I went, in the President's carriage, after Mrs. Secretary Welles, and ere I could return the noble martyr had ceased breathing. I witnessed the bearing of the remains to the Presidential Mansion; saw them removed from the temporary coffin in which they were borne there, and from that time, until they were placed in the car a the railroad depot, for transportation to Illinois, I was much of the time with them. My official duties made me almost one of the President's household, and, on all public occasions I stood at his side or near him and I felt as if, even had duty not demanded my presence, I could not leave the inanimate form of him whom I had seen so much, and who I loved so well in life. The days of preparation passed by; the lying in state in the East Room, where thousands stood at the side of their beloved and martyred chief and paid to his memory the tribute of respect, with streaming eyes; the funeral services, attended by the noble assemblage of all who aided the Executive in the performance of his arduous duties in Washington __ hundreds of the most noble civilians of the country; the full Diplomatic corps, whose rich dresses were in marked contrast to their sad, sad countenances, for they all loved Abraham Lincoln __ the mourners, not only of the family, but from his native and adopted States; the reverend clergy in full numbers. I witnessed it all. I listened with a most melancholy but proud satisfaction to the religious services, full of submissive piety, but also full of exalted patriotism. I saw the immense concourse of people, civil and military, who crowded Pennsylvania avenue from Georgetown to the Capitol, as the funeral cortege passed along, marking by their bowed forms, and their sighs and tears, their deep grief at the loss of one whom they had looked upon as their father. I saw the sacred remains deposited on the catafalque, in the centre of the rotunda of the Capitol, with the semblages of grief all around it, and heard the pious and eloquent divine who had been from the first at the side of the departed and his mourning family, (Dr. Gurley,) repeat with great impressiveness, earnestness, and devotion so much of the burial service as was appropriate, ending with a prayer. The crowd then departed. The guard of honor, which had been ever present since the sad catastrophe, consisting of at least one major general and his staff, and often of two, were left in charge of the body. At eight o'clock on Thursday morning the coffin was opened and the crowd admitted, and between that time and ten o'clock in the evening, nearly forty thousand people looked, in sorrow and in tears, upon that beloved face. At six o'clock a.m., on Friday, there were assembled in the rotunda all the Cabinet ministers, the Committee who were to accompany the remains, the Rev. Dr. Gurley, Lieut. General Grant and many other high officers of the army, the Police of the Capitol, and a few prominent citizens. Dr. Gurley addressed, with deep fervor and great impressiveness, the Throne of Grace, and his prayer found a solemn response, I doubt not, in every bosom. The coffin was then closed, and was borne by twelve sergeants to the hearse, and being escorted by a battalion of the Veteran Reserve Corps, was followed by Lieut, Gen. Grant and Brig. Gen. Hardee, arm in arm, and many other officers of the army; the Commissioner of Public Buildings and Captain of the Capitol Police, all on foot; and by the President and heads of the Departments, and the committee, in carriages, to the Baltimore depot, where it was placed in a car deeply and most appropriately draped in mourning and prepared for the occasion, where the reverend clergyman again offered up a prayer to the Father of us all; and at eight o'clock the train moved off, and he whom we all loved so well and for whom we would have willingly given our own lives, was borne in solemnity and gloom toward his final resting place in the bosom of the State who gave him to us. "Unveil they bosom, sacred tomb, Take this new treasure to they trust, And give these sacred relics room To slumber in the silent dust." Abraham Lincoln's funeral is the sixth that I have attended in the East Room of the Presidential Mansion, and I pray it may be the last: 1st. That of President William Henry Harrison. 2d That of Mrs. John Tyler. 3d. That of Secretaries Abel P. Upshur, Thomas W. Gilmer, Attorney General Virgil Maxey, and Col. Gardner. 4th. That of President Zachary Taylor. 5th. That of Willie Lincoln. 6th. That of President Abraham Lincoln. All the ceremonies of these funerals were most imposing and well conducted, especially that of those so suddenly borne into eternity by the bursting of the large gun on board the Princeton. The ceremonies of the last surpassed any other in solemnity, and the arrangements within the East Room were perfect, and for that perfection Hon. George Harrington, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, is entitled to all the credit. Respectfully yours, B. B. FRENCH, Commissioner of Public Buildings. <hr /> 249 [Picture of house] B. B.

The days of preparation passed by; the lying in state in the East Room, where thousands stood at the side of their beloved and martyred chief and paid to his memory the tribute of respect, with streaming eyes; the funeral services, attended by the noble assemblage of all who aided the Executive in the performance of his arduous duties in Washington __ hundreds of the most noble civilians of the country; the full Diplomatic corps, whose rich dresses were in marked contrast to their sad, sad countenances, for they all loved Abraham Lincoln __ the mourners, not only of the family, but from his native and adopted States; the reverend clergy in full numbers. I witnessed it all. I listened with a most melancholy but proud satisfaction to the religious services, full of submissive piety, but also full of exalted patriotism. I saw the immense concourse of people, civil and military, who crowded Pennsylvania avenue from Georgetown to the Capitol, as the funeral cortege passed along, marking by their bowed forms, and their sighs and tears, their deep grief at the loss of one whom they had looked upon as their father. I saw the sacred remains deposited on the catafalque, in the centre of the rotunda of the Capitol, with the semblages of grief all around it, and heard the pious and eloquent divine who had been from the first at the side of the departed and his mourning family, (Dr. Gurley,) repeat with great impressiveness, earnestness, and devotion so much of the burial service as was appropriate, ending with a prayer. The crowd then departed. The guard of honor, which had been ever present since the sad catastrophe, consisting of at least one major general and his staff, and often of two, were left in charge of the body. At eight o'clock on Thursday morning the coffin was opened and the crowd admitted, and between that time and ten o'clock in the evening, nearly forty thousand people looked, in sorrow and in tears, upon that beloved face. At six o'clock a.m., on Friday, there were assembled in the rotunda all the Cabinet ministers, the Committee who were to accompany the remains, the Rev. Dr. Gurley, Lieut. General Grant and many other high officers of the army, the Police of the Capitol, and a few prominent citizens. Dr. Gurley addressed, with deep fervor and great impressiveness, the Throne of Grace, and his prayer found a solemn response, I doubt not, in every bosom. The coffin was then closed, and was borne by twelve sergeants to the hearse, and being escorted by a battalion of the Veteran Reserve Corps, was followed by Lieut, Gen. Grant and Brig. Gen. Hardee, arm in arm, and many other officers of the army; the Commissioner of Public Buildings and Captain of the Capitol Police, all on foot; and by the President and heads of the Departments, and the committee, in carriages, to the Baltimore depot, where it was placed in a car deeply and most appropriately draped in mourning and prepared for the occasion, where the reverend clergyman again offered up a prayer to the Father of us all; and at eight o'clock the train moved off, and he whom we all loved so well and for whom we would have willingly given our own lives, was borne in solemnity and gloom toward his final resting place in the bosom of the State who gave him to us. "Unveil they bosom, sacred tomb, Take this new treasure to they trust, And give these sacred relics room To slumber in the silent dust." Abraham Lincoln's funeral is the sixth that I have attended in the East Room of the Presidential Mansion, and I pray it may be the last: 1st. That of President William Henry Harrison. 2d That of Mrs. John Tyler. 3d. That of Secretaries Abel P. Upshur, Thomas W. Gilmer, Attorney General Virgil Maxey, and Col. Gardner. 4th. That of President Zachary Taylor. 5th. That of Willie Lincoln. 6th. That of President Abraham Lincoln. All the ceremonies of these funerals were most imposing and well conducted, especially that of those so suddenly borne into eternity by the bursting of the large gun on board the Princeton. The ceremonies of the last surpassed any other in solemnity, and the arrangements within the East Room were perfect, and for that perfection Hon. George Harrington, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, is entitled to all the credit. Respectfully yours, B. B. FRENCH, Commissioner of Public Buildings. <hr /> 249 [Picture of house] B. B.

[Translation.] Madam: Some misfortunes are irreparable, and for which there is no consolation; these have fallen to your lot, and the world deplores it. These are not then vain efforts of comfort we extend to you, but simply the humble tribute of the profound regrets that weigh down our hearts. If the pure and holy life of your great husband made him the favorite of a great nation, his death has rendered him immortal. The liberator of slaves had to be a martyr! Was not the Nazarene crucified? Lincoln is now surrounded by a halo of glory that ages can never efface; his name will be forever blessed. Be resigned, madam, to the inscrutable decrees of Providence, who needed a great soul to accomplish its designs, and fixed upon the man most suited to its purpose. We remain, madam, with the most profound respect, your very devoted servants. The officers of the lodge: BOURGUET, the Venerable. D. RAYNAL, 1st Warden. A. ROLLAND, 2d Warden. A. THERODEE, Orator. C.

Honor to the memory of that good man who has been of such signal service to the cause of humanity. “Let us give, then, a triple battery of mourning to the memory of our very illustrious brother, Abraham Lincoln.” </blockquote> Brother Vallarino then sang an anthem, composed by Brother Mercadier, and set to music by Brother Coll, a member of the lodge Brother Mercadier then speaks: <blockquote> “May the song you have just heard bear beyond the ocean the expression of our profound regrets. May our affliction, mingled with that of the world, temper the sorrow of the widow and children of the great citizen who has given his life for liberty. “In destroying the last vestiges of slavery, he finished the task begun more than eighteen hundred years ago, by the Just Man, who was crucified for wishing to free the human race. “Lincoln’s was a great mission upon this earth, and he has most nobly fulfilled it. May he live forever in all hearts! May his noble figure beam in the future and serve as a beacon to all friends of humanity. “Let us then, my brethren, give a triple salute of joy, in honor of the great, firm, glorious, and immortal Abraham Lincoln!” </blockquote> It was unanimously decided that the banner of the lodge should be veiled in a mourning of crape for seven days: and that an extract of the minutes of this session should be sent to the Grand Lodge of the State of New York, with the request to have it sent to the widow of the very illustrious brother, Abraham Lincoln.

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.
