Question

Helen's subjects of study during second and third year?

Answer 1

Helen attended Radcliffe College in Massachusetts.  She "began [her] studies with eagerness" at Radcliffe.  She found that the "lecture-halls seemed filled with the spirit of the great and the wise."  Helen soon found that the college was not all that she expected it would be.  She found that there was not enough time to think and reflect because of all the required tasks and work.  Someone spelled all the lectures into Helen's hand, and she used a typewriter to type up her assignments.  She took a mixture of classes that she enjoyed and classes that she was not as interested in during the first two years.  In her third year, she enjoyed her classes more.  Despite this, she found her mind to be "overtaxed" with information.  Helen dreaded final exams each time they came.
