Gathering for 25th reunion, and the beginning of the Alumnae Association (1880)

In January, 1880, a letter went from Miss Peabody to graduates and former students. The seminary would like upon its twenty-fifth anniversary to examine and evaluate the soundness of principles upon which it had been educating its students. The seminary was pleased with its alumnae, and in turn decided to celebrate its twenty-fifth anniversary by forming an Alumnae Association.
