Please see photos. The Bethlehem Female Seminary was established on May 4, 1742 by 16 year old Countess Benigna von Zinzendorf and was the first protestant boarding school for girls in the colonies. In 1785, the school was reorganized as the Moravian Seminary for Young Ladies and in 1863 the school was chartered by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to confer degrees. In 1913 the school was renamed once more as the Moravian Seminary and College for Women, and in 1954 the Women's College merged with the Moravian College and Theological Seminary on Main Street to become the first co-education college in the Lehigh Valley. The seminary student body included girls from New England, Maryland, South Carolina, Nova Scotia, and the West Indies. By the nineteenth century, its student population consisted of more than seven thousand. In the late eighteenth century, tuition costs were £20 in Pennsylvania currency per year, which covered the common schooling cost, including reading, writing, arithmetic, geometry, and sewing. Specialized subjects such as needlework, music, and drawing required an extra two guineas per subject. Clothing, medicine, books, and other classroom supplies were designated separate charges to be paid quarterly. Room and board amounted to twenty shillings per year.
