Windham College
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Windham College was a liberal arts college located in Putney, Vermont on the campus of what is now Landmark College.
Windham was founded in 1951 by Walter F. Hendricks as the Vermont Institute of Special Studies. The school's initial aim was to help foreign students improve their English language skills to enable them to meet the requirements for attending U.S. institutions. In 1954, the institution was renamed Windham College. It closed in 1978.[1]
John Irving taught at Windham when he wrote his first novel, Setting Free the Bears. Pearl S. Buck was a trustee of the college.
