THE PASSING OF THE ANNEX 257 
means of Radcliffe; she is not rich — perhaps she never will 
be. She only has the codperation of a body of instruction 
such as cannot be obtained by any other college for women 
in the United States.’ I remember that this closed the dis- 
cussion very effectively.” Mrs. Agassiz’s own record in her 
diary for that day gives no indication of the slightest con- 
sciousness that she had delivered an epoch-making speech. 
“Hearing at State House — very satisfactory. Lunched 
with Sallie at the Mayflower. . . . To the Annex to see the 
students who were delighted at the success of the hearing.” 
A few days later Mrs. Agassiz received the following let- 
ter from the senior counsel for her opponents: 
TO MRS. LOUIS AGASSIZ 
Boston, March 13, 1894 
My pear Mrs. Agassiz: The ladies whom I repre- 
sented at the late hearing in regard to Radcliffe Col- 
lege have kindly sent me the enclosed, as they express 
it tome, “in token of their appreciation of the services 
you have rendered, not as a payment for strictly 
legal services.” 
I cannot use this acknowledgment so agreeably to 
myself or so nearly in accordance with their interest 
in the cause, as by asking that you would do me the 
honor to be the medium of adding it to the perma- 
nent fund of the College. 
With cordial regards to yourself and grateful ac- 
knowledgments of your services for the Institution 
and the cause it represents, I am, with high respect 
and regard, 
Sincerely yours, 
GrorcE S. Hatz
