Says the Cambridge Tribune: "It seems most fitting that the means for all this should have come from a citizen of Cambridge, the success of whose great university is owing in no small measure to the self-sacrificing efforts and direct benefactions of women from the time of Lucy Downing to Mrs. Sever."
