Seymour, Mary Alexia, Louisville, Kentucky, to Father Daniel E. Hudson, C.S.C., Notre Dame, Indiana, 1888 April 26
Scope and Contents
Seymour sends a critique of a piece of music. The college has dismissed Seymour owing her $141. The college was started by a Chicago-Cincinnati firm on a trial basis. Her refusal to do trade work, take a dozen voices in a class and let them sing anything, and her decision to reside in a convent, which gave the college a Catholic tinge and invoked the disapproval of the Episopalian Bishop, the important social patron, as well as Miss Garrity's decision to employ only Protestant teachers, led to her dismissal. She has opened a school of her own called "St. Cyr". Seymour is in earnest with her plans to establish an order for the higher education of young girls. :: X-3-g A.L.S. 6pp. 8vo.
