Centennial Records of the Women of Wisconsin (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Centennial Records of the Women of Wisconsin The following Reports concerning the philanthropies of Wisconsin Women were collected for the National volume. They are, however, deemed appropriate to accompany the annals of the latest labor of love accomplished by the women of our Commonwealth - namely, the records of Centennial organizations. These papers, with the exception of one, were written by women. We are aware that these pages do not contain all the names of institutions or individuals worthy of a place in them, but they arc all that could be obtained in the short period allotted for the work. In some instances, no response has been made to appeals for the data necessary for a correct report. These failures may have arisen, from the modesty which "does good by stealth and blushes to find it fame," or from not appreciating the value of the Record, which embalmed by "the art preservative of all arts," shall bear its testimony to coming centuries. Considering the youth of our State, we are confident she is not behind her elder sisters, in noble women and sublime charities, and we are proud to arid our Memorial as Wisconsin's stone in the monument this Centennial celebration is building to the honor and praise of the good and true of our sex.
