Cruft that the two-story double frame house, which stood for so man}- years on the northeast corner of Sixth and Oak streets, and occupied by his father as a resi- dence, was originally built for a girls' school. The testi- mony of Rev. Aaron Wood in regard to this seminary is, that Rev. Smith L. Robinson was appointed to preach in the Terre Haute district. He also projected a female seminary, and had ample subscription, and a house erected. A lady principal was sent for, and came by stage from... the far off State of Maine, but she died in a few days after her arrival. Rev. Mr. Robinson was called away into another conference, and so while this effort was a failure, it shows, at least a de- sire for a school in Terre Haute for young ladies. The Covert College for Young Ladies, built on South Sixth street was for a decade of years, a success, and proved a most desirable addition to our city, as it brought to us teachers of talent, and accomplishments. The standard of the school was high and it attracted students from a distance.
