"...the sympathy of the two schools in their common work"

14 January 2020: Spent some time today reading through Lucy Larcom's Wheaton Seminary; A Semi-Centennial Sketch. I found myself moved by this footnote, where she mentions how Mary Lyon, in the midst of getting Mount Holyoke started, still helped raise funds for Wheaton. The idea of these communities of women supporting each other in the name of women's education is just so lovely and inspiring.
