The Vision Realized
By Bertha June Richardson, A. B.
(Holder of the Mary Lowell Stone Fellowship 1903. From “The Woman Who Spends.”)
When the sweet faced New England woman, living her quiet life in the old town of Halfield, stretched out her strong, helpful hands to all the generations of girls to come, by making a woman’s college a possibility, she was called a dreamer, a visionary woman, who had better be looked after by some strong-minded man who could put her money to some practical use. That vision realized has given to hundreds of women ideals and standards which have made life full and rich.
