Mary Lyon
In 1828, Mary became sick with typhoid fever. When her health improved, she decided to leave Buckland, the school she had started. She joined a close friend, Zilpah Grant, who had begun another private school, Ipswich Female Seminary. At Ipswich, Mary taught and was responsible for 130 students. It was one of the best schools at the time. But it lacked financial support. Mary said the lack of support was because of good men's fear of greatness in women. Zilpah Grant and Mary Lyon urged that Ipswich be provided buildings so that the school might become permanent. However, their appeal failed.
