¹û½´ÊÓƵ

Helen Baldwin and classmate Augusta Uhlich attended ¹û½´ÊÓƵ when it was known as ¹û½´ÊÓƵ College, located in Brooklyn and connected with ¹û½´ÊÓƵ Academy, a private preparatory school. At the time, teacher education was the college’s primary mission and the academy offered the ideal training ground for preparing teachers. Students at the college could earn a bachelor’s degree simultaneously with a teaching certificate that qualified them to teach in New York state public schools. In 1911—shortly before Baldwin matriculated—roughly half of ¹û½´ÊÓƵ College alumni were serving as teachers in New York schools.

In 1999, Baldwin’s estate made provisions for the establishment of the Augusta Uhlich and Helen Baldwin Endowed Scholarship fund, which provides financial support to sophomores, juniors and seniors with strong academic records.
