In May 1888 Helen Keller attended Perkins School for the Blind for four years. She then spent a year at the Cambridge School for Young Ladies to prepare for Radcliffe College. In 1904, she graduated cum laude from Radcliffe and became the first person with deaf-blindness to earn a bachelor of arts degree.
Radcliffe was one of the Seven Sisters colleges and held the popular reputation of having a particularly intellectual, literary, and independent-minded female student body.
Founded in 1879 Radcliffe College was a women's liberal arts college in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and functioned as the female coordinate institution for the all-male Harvard College.
Peter Fagan was a twenty-nine year old reporter for the Boston Herald who stepped in as Helen Keller's personal secretary. The pair fell in love and made plans to marry. But he was scared off with a shotgun by the Keller family.
