Hannah, Katharine, and Elizabeth Shipley, 1894-1916:  Pioneers in education for women at a time when it was controversial, the Shipley sisters founded The Misses Shipley's School for Girls Preparatory to Bryn Mawr College. Their fundamental philosophy embodied the whole student: academics, spirit, character, and health, including sports. The sisters' focus on academic excellence, intellectual integrity, and character continue today.
