Excerpt from Historical Sketch and Description Prepared at the Request of the United States Commissioner of Education, for the Centennial Celebration at Philadelphia<br/><br/>They selected Attica, in Genesee County, in lieu of their original Attica, in Greece. Their capital consisted of $5,ooo, Â the earnings of the elder sister Â and in April, 183 5, unassisted by any missionary society or pri vate individual, but relying upon their own brave hearts and an Almighty arm, these two single women began the erection of a brick house, which they entered the follow ing September. In the meanwhile they hired a couple of rooms for the summer, and commenced their school with a primary department alone. A beginning truly humble and unpretending. There was no sounding of trumpets; no grand gathering for the laying of the corner stone; no imposing pageant, nor eloquent speeches, Â nevertheless a great and noble work then sprang into existence.
