How did Helen display her passion for Radcliffe College?
Answers
Explanation:
Helen’s wish to join Radcliff College was fulfilled in the fall of 1900 after a considerable effort. She was so excited at the prospect of studying with girls who could see and hear. She began her studies with eagerness hoping to find a reality match to her world of imagination at the college. The lecture-halls seemed filled with the spirit of the great and the wise, and she thought the professors were the embodiment of wisdom. However, a bitter disillusionment awaited her. She soon discovered that college was not quite the romantic place she had imagined. Helen expresses her disillusionment in the following words: “Many of the dreams that had delighted my young inexperience became beautifully less and "faded into the light of common day." Gradually I began to find that there were disadvantages in going to college.”
