Blaine and Illinois Lieutenant Governor William Bross. The first Principal was Edward Payson Weston, a Congregationalist Minister from Maine. Ferry Hall was No Mere Finishing School, rather it provided something of a Liberal Arts education for women, including uncommonly taught subjects such as science and mathematics.
