Wellesley College, which was chartered in 1870 and opened in 1875, was founded by Henry Fowle Durant to provide women with college opportunities equal to those of men. Wellesley was the first women's college to have scientific laboratories, and its physics laboratory was the second in an American college. The Wellesley campus, on the shore of Lake Waban, includes hills, woods, and an arboretum. Its buildings, which range in style from Gothic to modern, include the Davis Museum and Cultural Center (1993), designed by Rafael Moneo, and Jewett Arts Center (1955–58), designed by Paul Rudolph. Art historian Alice Van Vechten Brown (Brown, Alice Van Vechten) taught at Wellesley, as did geographer Ellen Churchill Semple (Semple, Ellen Churchill), archaeologist Esther Boise Van Deman (Van Deman, Esther Boise), and Spanish poets Carlos Bousoño (Bousoño, Carlos), Jorge Guillén (Guillén, Jorge), and Pedro Salinas y Serrano (Salinas y Serrano, Pedro). Noted alumnae include Hillary Rodham Clinton, welfare worker and writer Sophonisba Preston Breckinridge (Breckinridge, Sophonisba Preston), and writer and environmentalist Marjory Stoneman Douglas.
