Description

Under the leadership of our second president, David Jayne Hill, an Extension Department was organized in 1894 to offer evening and Saturday lectures “to bring systematic university instruction within reach of all classes of men and women . . . without interfering with their daily work.” Several courses were taught by Helen Barrett Montgomery, who was designated an “Extension Lecturer on History.” When the University Trustees agreed to the admission of the women, contingent on raising $100,000 (later reduced to $50,000), it was Montgomery who led the effort, accumulating four-fifths of the sum. The balance would be raised by Susan B. Anthony with the assistance of Fannie Bigelow on the day before the deadline in 1900."
