Excerpt from Delayed by Fire: Being the Early History of Simmons College

Youth looks to the future, middle-age to the present, and Old age to the past. Most persons who are now connected with Sim mons College or who have been associated with the institution during its comparatively Short existence belong to the first two categories, but when the time comes when they have passed into the last class, they may be glad to find some contemporaneous record of the founding and early years of the College.

This book delves into the fascinating story of John Simmons, a self-made Bostonian who rose from humble beginnings to become a wealthy clothier and real estate magnate. It traces his remarkable journey, exploring his early life, his entrepreneurial success, and his eventual decision to leave the bulk of his fortune for the establishment of an institution to educate women for self-sufficiency.
