Hopeful that Usher would cast it again in bronze, SBA laid a plan before Usher and Garrett. In January 1906, Usher mentioned to a reporter that she “recently received an order” to duplicate her medallion of SBA for the University of Rochester. Its whereabouts are unknown. (Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, 28 June 1902, not in Film; New York Times, 14 January 1906.) 4. Of the thirty-three women who enrolled at the university in 1900, one was ready to graduate in 1901 and three were ready in 1902. In the class of 1902 were Mary Lewis Deland, transfer student from Vassar; Mary Cynthia Gillette, transfer student from Cornell; and Miriam Seligman, student in Hanover, Germany, and Lausanne, Switzerland, before entering the university.

Rush Rhees (1860–1939), a Baptist minister by training, was chosen to be president of the University of Rochester in 1899 and took office in 1900, just as the school became coeducational. (ANB.)

For some reason, Mrs. Chapman Catt does not seem disposed to push her to the front,why,I do not know; unless she is jealous of her as a speaker. Now, we must make the most of her eloquence in our woman-suffrage 23 june 1902 434 & movement. I hope she will be able to build up a successful association in this city Do you intend to publish my appeal at the end of Vol. IV? A forecast of our battle for the next half-century, should it take so long. 3 We have just returned to the city, and are now all together at 250 West 94th St happy, I assure you, in the re-union. 4 Yours as ever Y L, in hand of E.

She has failed sadly since last spring, and needs Maggy or me to be near her constantly. I wish you could be in New York at the time of the 87th nbirthdayp,as I’m sure there wont be another. Tomorrow Theodore is to arrive on the Savoie, so the “children” will all be at hand. My co-workers seem all out of town, so it is difficult to begin my work. 1 Last evening Miss Hay was to have called, but the storm kept her away. Is she a good, sound, dependable worker? I should love to come to Rochester, but if anything is to be done here, I must stick close. It is my intention not to leave New York once this winter. The work & Mother seem to point to that course as wisdom. I am glad you are nearing the end of Vol. IV. Add to it the very best Index money can command. All Mrs. Harper’s facts on the State laws are invaluable, but without the Index, the best Index, would be lost. A book of reference...
