A significant account of the education of young women at the Moravian Seminary for Young  Ladies at Bethlehem, also known as the Moravian Boarding School for Girls, from its founding in 1742 to 1900. Excerpts from the school's daily journal and other diaries, student poetic and dramatic works, summaries of notable events, and chronicles of the settling of the town from 1740 are presented.
