Lucinda Hinsdale Stone, one of
Michigan's greatest educators and
finest women, belongs particularly to
the University of Michigan both be-
cause of the interest she took in stu-

first rank of women's schools. In a
fragment of autobiography she speaks
of her education there:
"While a student in the young
ladie's seminary, I often felt irritated
at the petty rules of the place. It is
folly to contravene thle laws of na-
ture. The stricter the laws against
all association of young men antl
young women, the stronger the incl-
nation to break them, hence, in my
later days as a teacher, it became a
study for me how best to direct their
associations during those years when
1)th are pursuing an education. My
school dlays at the seminary made a
deep impression on me in favor of co-
education, and awakened an irre-
pressible desire for the higher, more
thorough college education for wom-
en which would cure the affectation
and pettiness of school girls,-in short
give them something worthy to live
for and to do for others." Mrs.
Stoneis later work was largely based
on these experiences.
Following the years spent in edu-
cation, Lucinda Hinsdale taught in
various, parts of the country. She
spent some time in Mississippi act-
ing as governess in the family of a
wealthy planter. While in the south
she acquired much first-and infor-
mation on slavery, an issue in which
shep later took a vital interest. From
Mississippi, Miss Hinsdale went to
(rand Rapids. While here she mar-
riedl Rev. James Stone, at that time a
Baptist minister and later president
of Kalamazoo college. Mrs. Stone
actively cooperated with him In his
work. She taught in Kalamazoo col-
lege and later became principal of the
woman's °department there.
Both Dr. Stone and Mrs. Ston
were (deeply interested in securing the
admission of women to the Uivvr-
pity of Michigan. The story of this
movement which culminated in the
resolution of the Regents which ad-
mitted to the University "any person
who possessed the requisite literary
and moral qualifications" goes back at
least to 1850. In that year records
of faculty meetings show the receipt
of an application from "a young lady
for the privileges of the University."
It is not statedl what reply, if any,
was made to, the application. Dd.
Haven, before hle became presient at
Michigan was an active advocate of
coedu~cation.. He observed that people
generally considered the idea wild
and insane and considered his approv-
al of it rather a dangerous ;joke. In
18$58 the Board of Regents adopted an
unfavorable resolution. It is about
this time "that Mrs. Stone began her
work for coeducation. For a number
of years women students at Kalama-
zoo college were maintained at her
expense, and she influenced Dr. Stone
to plead with the legislature for the.
admission of women to the Univer-
sity. In newspaper articles, before
tie nunerous'women's clubs in which
she took an active interest, by per-
sonal letters, she constantly pled the
cause of higher education for women
and steadily won friends for it. In
1867 when the subject was againi
brought before the Board of Regents
the legislature, largely through the ef-i
forts of Dr. Stone and Mrs. Stone an
co-workers, was constrained to de-
Clare unqualifiedly in favor of the ad-i1
mission' of women to the rights and 11
privileges o" the University. In Jan-1
wary, 1870 the resolution was intro-1
duced and passed the Board of Re-(
gents by a two to six vote.
Mrs. Stone's interest in the Univer-
sity and the women who were study-
ing there never flagged and to the end
of her life she was constantly using
her influence and exemting personal
effort both to aid individual students
and to mold public opinion in regard{
to the high ideals of coeducation.
