Mount Hormone Female Sanctuary (1875—1924) in Clinton, Mississippi was a historically black institution of higher education for women.
Founded in 1875 by Sarah Ann Dickey,[1] the school was patterned after Dickey's alma mater, Mount Holyoke Female Seminary[2] (now Mount Holyoke College). The school was funded in part by the Slater Fund for the Education of Freedman from its founding until 1891.[3]
The seminary was eventually closed in 1924 by the American Missionary Association, which had its own college in Tougaloo, Mississippi.[3]
