Abstract
This article is an historical analysis of nineteenth century attitudes towards women, women's education, and the value of art education for women. When art was conceived as having moral force, art education became an important part of women's education. While focusing on the development of art education for women at one institution of higher education, the College of Fine Arts at Syracuse University, this paper also describes general nineteenth century attitudes toward coeducation and toward a woman's sphere, at that time defined primarily as home and family. The title is a quotation from one speaker at the inauguration of Crouse College, the Syracuse College of Fine Arts building, and refers to the relationship between fine arts and liberal arts.1
