Photograph of Martha Berry. She sits at a desk and writes with a pencil. She is photographed from the side. Martha McChesney Berry was the founder of the Berry Schools for academically able but economically poor children of the rural South-those who usually could not afford to go to other schools. These schools of the early 1900s grew within three decades into Berry College, a comprehensive liberal arts college. - Metadata URL:
