Book Description
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. President Hitchcock, of Amherst College, assisted by several ladies who had intimately known her, prepared a memoir of Miss Lyon soon after her death. This has been widely circulated and highly prized in America, in England and in some of the islands of the sea. The American Tract Society, in 1858, published a review of this work.
