Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Mary Lyon Every book has many authors; the title-page names but one. To all those who in countless ways have furthered the making of this book, I gratefully acknowledge my debt: men and women who knew Miss Lyon personally; their sons and daughters; alumnae of Mount Holyoke and people holding no affiliation with it, some of them concerned with other schools; members of the college faculty who throughout the work have given me so wise a seconding. The warm helpfulness which Miss Lyon evoked in life has met her biographer at every turn. The book is immediately derived from a request made several years ago by President Woolley, voicing a demand that has been gathering force through more than thirty years. In its preparation all known manuscripts bearing intimately or remotely on Miss Lyon's life have been read, but it is not unlikely that some writings exist which have escaped the inquisitor's eye.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Power of Christian Benevolence: Illustrated in the Life and Labors of Mary Lyon The Power of Christian Benevolence illustrated in the Life and Labors of Mary Lyon, compiled by Edward glitchcock, D. D., LL. D., President of Am herst College, with the assistance of others, was originally published at Northampton by Messrs. Hop kins and Bridgman, in 1851, and that edition is con tinned in circulation. That work has been made the basis of this; but much has been omitted, especially in numerous details of the Mount Holyoke Seminary; much has been added, and many parts have been re cast. This has been chiefly done by those who fur nished the principal material for the first edition, and who were long and intimately associated with Miss Lyon in her public labors. Invaluable as their servi ces have been, their names, at their united request, are here omitted, as is also that of the Rev. Dr. Hitch cock from the title-page at his own suggestion. The work is intended as a monument, not to its authors, nor to Miss Lyon, but to His most holy praise through whose mighty power and abounding grace she became what she was, and finished the work which was given her to do.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life Story of Mary Lyon: Founder of Mount Holyoke College It has been wisely said, that the greatest statues require least drapery. Certainly, the men and women who have been most useful require least eulogy. The object of this sketch is to give in fewest words the essence of a noble life. Miss Lyon's work can be better seen, from this standpoint, in the History of Time than from any former one, and now, as her child, The Mount Holyoke Seminary is rising as a Phœnix from its ashes, it seems desirable that we should review it.

Book excerpt: Before the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and the Seneca Falls Declaration; before Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucy Stone, Julia Ward Howe, Carrie Chapman and Alice Paul; before John Stuart Mill's The Subjection of Women and Virgina Woolfe's A Room of One's Own; before all these came Mary Lyon. In 1837, by virtue of dogged determination and never removing her sight from her goal, Mary Lyon founded Mount Holyoke Female Seminary, the world's oldest continuing college for women. Never seeking to draw attention to herself, she steadfastly fought to ensure that the school would outlive her and never become known as "Miss Lyon's School." Perhaps as a result, Mary Lyon has not drawn nearly the attention she de- serves in histories of America, the women's movement or higher education. This volume, for the first time, draws together the major documents and writings of Mary Lyon's remarkable career.
