Alice Cordelia Morse
Alice Cordelia Morse (June 1, 1863–July 15, 1961) was a designer of book covers.
==Early life==
Morse was born in Hammondsville, Jefferson County, Ohio. She lived with her parents, Joseph and Ruth Perkins Morse,〔Willets, 119〕 her brother Joseph Jr., and her sister Mary in Jefferson county for the first few years of her life.〔Teacher's Record Card〕 The family then moved to Williamsburg, Brooklyn.〔Edna Harris, "New Book Covers," ''Brush and Pencil'', vol. 5, no. 3 (1899): 124〕
In a biography written in 1894 by Frances E. Willard and Mary Livermore, it was mentioned that Alice attended school at a young age but her early drawings failed to reveal any special talent. Her skills did however eventually improve as an artist and she moved from Brooklyn to Manhattan to further her education.〔Alice Morse's Scranton Public Schools Teacher's Record Card〕 She attended the Woman's School of Art at Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art from 1879-1883 where she received her undergraduate degree in art and design. Cooper Union was one of the first few arts schools open to women in the 1900s. Cooper Union's primary mission was to provide every student, especially the working class, with an equal opportunity toward a fulfilling education that would create a solid foundation for future job security and financial independence. The school provided very flexible class schedules for those who had to work in order to pay for school. Although some students paid tuition, Cooper Union would often waive fees for students who were unable to pay. Morse was likely one of these students.〔Alice C. Morse, will, May 20, 1954〕
