Mills is a peculiar blend of old and new, East and West. Founded in 1852 as a seminary-refuge for wealthy girls fleeing the crude gold-mining camp atmosphere of San Francisco, it later thrived on offering an exclusive Vassar-style education without the need for transcontinental travel. Today, Mills accents music, art, dance and drama, boasts some fine Victorian architecture, lets its girls enforce their own honor code in exams and conduct, and observes such quaint traditions as the seniors' tearful last tour of the campus by lantern light, pausing at sites they want to remember...
