Excerpt from The Radical, Vol. 9: August, 1871 December, 1871 By the liberality of our late fellow-citizen, Mr. John Simmons, a grand Opportunity is given for trying this experiment. He has bequeathed a large amount of property, which will be avail able ln a few years, for the purpose of founding an institution in which to educate women for profitable industry. Unfettered by any theological or party restrictions, Mr. Simmons has left his bequest very free, trusting to the good sense of his executors to make the best use of the money in order to accomplish the desired object. The interval which must yet elapse before this fund can be used will give opportunity for thorough study and discussion upon this subject, so that it is to be hoped that this grand opportunity will be thoroughly and nobly used.
