Biographysecondary address added 2021/01/20 general address for college | "Skidmore College is a private liberal arts college in Saratoga Springs, New York. The Young Women's Industrial Club was formed in 1903 by Lucy Ann Skidmore (1853–1931) with inheritance money from her husband who died in 1879, and from her father, Joseph Russell Skidmore (1821–1882), a former coal merchant. In 1911, the club was chartered under the name "Skidmore School of Arts" as a college to vocationally and professionally train young women. By 1922 the school had been chartered independently as a four-year, degree-granting college. In 1971, the college began admitting men to its regular undergraduate program (a few dozen male World War II veterans had been admitted in 1946-49)." -- Wikipedia
