It opened in l874 with two Holyoke women as founders and leaders, and has a campus strikingly similar to that of the mother college. The Huguenot girls climb a Prospect Hill, across a Stony Brook, and have many other places named after those in South Hadley. Under the influence of the Huguenot Seminary, countless schools and missions have started up all over the country. The name of Mary Lyon is loved and honored there with an almost passionate devotion, as that of one through whom a great light was brought to African women.

v H- ff ---I f- gg' iilllilla Cllnllegr Mills College was established in California to do for the West what Mount Holyoke does for the East. The early foundations were laid at Benicia, under a Board of Trustees. In IS65 the school was purchased by Rev. Cyrus T. Mills, D.D.. and his wife, Susan Lincoln Mills, a Mount Holyoke graduate- They moved the school to its present site near Oakland, in I87l, and called it Mills Seminary. In l885 a college charter was granted by the State, ancl the name changed to Mills College and Seminary. The seminary department, however, has been gradually dropped, and since May, l9l l, the work has been wholly that of a college. Mills shows twenty-eight per cent. increase in enrollment since last year and bids fair to hold its own as the only woman's college west of the Rocky Mountains. I0
