It was the will of John Simmons that there should be a school in Boston in which young women would be educated in those arts, sciences, and industries which would prepare them for an eco- nomically independent life.

Dr. Lefavour continued that every educa- tional undertaking expresses in good meas- ure the ideals of the place from which it springs. In terms of this statement the source of DY HKIZU Lefavamf, Fam?
