100 years ago and Edge Hill was celebrating it’s twenty fifth anniversary:
May 18th, 1910.
Memorandum from the Principal.
My Dear Students,
You will be glad to know that the Twenty-fifth Anniversary of the College will be kept on July 2nd next.
Note the date, for the fourth Saturday in June – the date of our usual Annual Gathering – is found to be inconvenient. Please let me know by filling up and posting the enclosed card at once whether or not you will be able to keep Festival with us.
Details of Public Luncheon, Entertainments, &c, will be sent to you later on receipt of your acceptance.
Faithfully yours,
Sarah J. Hale.
Something tells me this won’t be the last we hear from Sarah Hale!
