Mount Saint Mary College

About Mount Saint Mary College

According to Wikipedia, Mount Saint Mary College in Hooksett, New Hampshire was a Roman Catholic college for women founded in 1934 by the Sisters of Mercy. The college was situated on a campus approximately northwest of Boston. It ceased operations in 1978 due to the increasing trend away from single sex higher education which in turn led to a decline in enrollment from a high of about 500 students to just under 200 at the time of the closing. This decline eventually was the cause of financial difficulties from which the school never recovered.
