Julia shoved her tasteless field peas away and ate her fried cornbread patty void of salt. How much longer are we expected to go without salt in our diets? I could kill for a single shake over my food. Not even a drop of honey or molasses cling to our crocks to sweeten our pallet either.</p> <p>But what Julia wanted more than salt or honey was to return to Wesleyan Female College and earn her diploma. She wants to follow in the footsteps of Catherine Brewer who two and half decades ago was awarded the first diploma from the woman’s college in 1840. Julia pushed her plate aside. How will I ever be able to return to college with only a few coins in my reticule?</p> Historical Fri, 27 May 2005 11:49:45 -0700
