in order to have the great pleasure of
entertaining you and Miss Shaw under my own roof and to do
whatever I can to help you make the meeting a success."

At a good-bye reception given for Miss Anthony in Rochester the
evening before she left home for Baltimore she took cold and
immediately after reaching Miss Garrett's she became very ill and was
under the care of physicians and trained nurses. On the second night,
however, the College Evening for which elaborate preparations had been
made, she summoned the will power for which she had always been noted,
rose from her bed, put on a beautiful gown and went to the convention
hall. Quoting again from the Biography: "When she appeared on the
stage and the great audience realized that she actually was with them
their enthusiasm was unbounded. She was so white and frail as to seem
almost spiritual but on her sweet face was an expression of ineffable
happiness; and it was indeed one of the happiest moments of her life
for it typified the intellectual triumph of her cause."

The Baltimore _American_ thus began its account: "With the great
pioneer suffrage worker, Susan B. Anthony, on the platform, surrounded
by women noted in the college world for their brilliant attainments,
as well as those famed for social work and in other professions, and
with a large audience, the session of the woman suffrage convention
opened last evening in the Lyric Theater. If the veteran suffragist
thought of more than the pleasure of the event it must have been the
contrast of this occasion with the times past, when, unhonored and
unsung, she fought what must have often seemed a losing fight for
principles for which the presence of these women proclaimed
victory.... It had been announced as 'Colloge evening' but it might
just as well have been called 'Susan B. Anthony evening,' for, while
the addresses dealt with various phases of the woman question, all
evolved into one strong tribute to Miss Anthony."
