The primary mission of Vassar College, to furnish "the means of a thorough well-proportioned and liberal education" was articulated in The First Annual Catalogue and has remained constant throughout its history. Founded in 1861 to provide young women an education equal to that once available only to young men the college has since 1969 opened its doors to both women and men on terms of equality. Encouragement of excellence and respect for diversity are hallmarks of Vassar's character as an institution. The independence of mind and the diverse intellectual interests of students are fostered by providing them a range of ways to meet our curricular expectations. The structure of the residential experience in which students in all four classes live in the residence halls obliges students to master the art of living cooperatively in a diverse community. Diversity of perspective is honored as well in the college's system of shared governance among all the constituencies of the institution.
