Description
Excerpt from The Autobiography and Letters of Matthew Vassar
Matthew Vassar, the Founder of Vassar College, was a plain, self-made business man whose life ran along for years in grooves familiar to many American citizens. His story is indeed only a narrative of thrifty money-making in a homely business until, when he had almost reached the scriptural allotment of three score years and ten, the romance of his life appeared in the shape of a great idea and his dreams of fame were shortly realized. The founding of Vassar College was the opportunity, education, and reward of all Matthew Vassar''s latent power.
