Daskam, Josephine Dodge Smith College Stories: Ten Stories
New York Charles Scribner's Sons 1925 (c.1900) Reprint Hardcover Very Good+ in Very Good dj
[nice book, moderate shelfwear to bottom edge, minor soiling to page edges, front cover illustration (full-size paste-on label, replicating jacket illustration) is clean and bright; jacket itself is somewhat worn and soiled, with various small tears, minor paper loss at several corners, some rubbing to front panel illustration (however, as noted, the same illustration appears unblemished on the front cover of the book itself)]. (The Scribner Series for Young People) Series (color frontispiece, 3 b&w plates) These "simple tales" of student life at Smith College were intended, per the author's Preface, "to deepen the rapidly growing conviction that the college girl is very much any other girl." Smith opened its doors in 1875, and athletics was a pretty big deal, apparently, from the get-go: the first collegiate women's basketball game ever was played at Smith (in 1893, behind locked doors, so that no men could watch, since the whole idea wasn't considered quite proper), and it later became the first women's college to join the NCAA. Appropriately, the book starts right out with a basketball story, "The Emotions of a Sub-Guard," which is depicted in the book's frontispiece (matching the jacket art). Originally published in 1900, this was the first of the author's nearly 40 books.
