Finch College was a women's college on the Upper East Side of Manhattan founded in 1900 by Jessica Garretson Finch (later Cosgrove), a women's rights activist and socialist who was one of seven women in Barnard College's first graduating class in 1893. Originally a secondary school for girls, Finch became a liberal arts college in 1952. The school's curriculum reflected Finch's progressive vision of women's place in society, that they should be "powers in their communities, not idle fashionable women." Hands-on learning was a hallmark of the college, as was its diverse faculty of visiting Columbia professors alongside working actors, poets, politicians, and designers. The school closed in 1976.
