Mrs. Culton entertained the Mon
dap club Monday, March 18th. The
program, under the leadership of Mrs.
McInnes, consisted of stories of the
lives of the three women through whose
| efforts liberal education for women
was made possible - Emma Willard,
founder of Troy seminary; Mary Lyon
Mt. Holyoke, and Mrs. Aggasiz of
Radcliff college. The demand for stu
dents from these institutions was amaz-
| ing, and schools of like nature sprang
up in sections where these teachers
went. Mount Holyoke was the inspir-
alton and furnished the plans for Rock
ford seminary and Beloit college for
| women. At the close of the program,
Miss Mary Burdick of Madison, a guest
of the club, recited two original poems,
'The Chancellor's Toast and ''Our
Pioneers, which were very much en-
| joyed by the members. Mrs. Hopkins
| invited the club to meet with her on
! March 29th..
