Equal Opportunity For All

Item

Title
Equal Opportunity For All
Description
The motto of this advertisement is "never too old to learn", encouraging men of all ages to attend the evening classes. They list a plethora of professions that can benefit from the exposure to a fuller educational experience. An interesting point of the ad was that there is singular mention of men and not women. The Mechanics Institute was clearly not focusing on educating women in 1901. By today's standards it is ironic that the title of this ad is "Equal Opportunity for All".
