III Excerpt from a letter from Mrs JB Jamieson
“I am leaving a week behind at BMC fascinating to me from every viewpoint and I am grateful for the privilege of being a guest. The vision and problems for your faculty seemed raised to the n’th degree at this time, but I have faith, too, that a wise solution will evolve from your very necessities. BMC has friends who believe in its ideals. I hope they will rally to help your crucial need. Whatever ones near Boston I can contact, I will tell of my visit and understanding of it. Please let me know in what ways I can further help, small though they will be….
“Your students, faculty, and whole community gave me a welcome for which I wish to express sincere thanks.
“I await, with impatience, the developments in plans for the college for the summer and the future.”
