"It is my wish that the institution be so
conducted that during all coming time it shall do the most good to the greatest number.
I would have it a perennial blessing to the country and the world."
—Sophia Smith, 1870
With these words Sophia Smith bequeathed the bulk of her fortune to create a women's college that would offer an education equal to that available to men. Today Smith alumnae, parents, spouses, faculty, and friends continue to support Sophia’s vision with generous gifts that come at the donor’s death.
