Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Proceedings at the Celebration of the One Hundredth Anniversary of the Birth of Dr. Samuel Gridley Howe: November 11, 1901
November should thereafter be observed in the Per kins Institution as Founder's Day. The seed that grew and blossomed into the Howe centenary was sown at an annual meeting of the alumna association of the Perkins Institution in June, 1899. Since then plans for the anniversary have occupied a prominent place in the thoughts of the members of the associa tion.
The first idea was to commemorate the work of Dr. Howe at an annual alumna meeting; but a fuller comprehension of the scope and diversity of his labors showed that no home gathering, nor private celebration, could adequately honor such a life.
