She became deeply interested in education early in life, and her faith was evidenced by her work.

She was one of the founders of Barnard College.
Her checks became very familiar to the treasurers of many educational enterprises.

She was one of the patrons of the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences, and many years ago gave one thousand dollars to aid the Association.

Since then she has added ten thousand dollars as a nucleus toward the erection of a building to be called the Academy of Science.

With the same generous spirit she contributed ten thousand dollars to the Young Men's Hebrew Association for educational purposes.
