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.

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.
