Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Women's Educational and Industrial Union of Buffalo
With their inspiring words and a silent prayer in which all could join, the rooms were consecrated to a noble work. The formal opening occurred April 15th, when a public reception was held; and from that date the rooms were Open every week-day from 10 A. M. To 9 P. M.
The first year's records show a membership of 7 94, and over Visitors. Activities increased to such an extent that more room was needed in the autumn, when the Charity Organization Society again showed its interest by opening two additional rooms for our use. The first annual meeting was held in Fitch Institute hall, with an audience of several hundred. The results reported by the heads of the various committees demonstrated beyond a doubt the Union's right to exist. Another meeting was held in the evening, when short addresses were made by the Hon. Arthur W. Hickman, Dr. Roswell Park, Seward A. Simons and Nathaniel Rosenau. It was not long before we were again cramped for room. It was then felt that better results could be attained if we had a home of our own.
