Lighted to Lighten: the Hope of India: A Study of Conditions among Women in India
Van Doren, Alice B. (Alice Boucher)
India -- Social conditions; Women -- India
Would you like to know the sweetness of the secret of the
Lord?
Go and hide beneath His shadow: this shall then be your
reward;
And whene'er you leave the silence of that happy meeting
place,
You must mind and bear the image of the Master in your face.

LAL BAGH ALUMNAE RECORDS SHOW THE FOLLOWING:
The first Kindergarten in India.
The first college in India with full staff of women and residence
accommodation.
The first Arya Samaj B.A. graduate.
The F.Sc. graduate who became the second woman with the B.Sc. degree in
India.
The F.Sc. graduate who later graduated at the foremost Medical College
in North India as the first Muhammadan woman doctor in India and
probably in the world.
The first woman B.A. and the first Normal School graduate from
Rajputana.
The first woman to receive her M.A. in North India.
The first Muhammadan woman to take her F.A. examination from the Central
Provinces.
Probably the first F.A. student to take her examination in purdah.
The first Teachers Conference (held annually) in India.
The first woman's college to offer the F.Sc. course.
The first college to have on its staff an Indian lady.
The first woman (Lilavati Singh) from the Orient to serve on a world's
Committee.
The first woman dentist.
The first woman agriculturist.
The first woman in India to be in charge of a Boys' High School.
A Lal Bagh graduate organized the Home Missionary Society which has
developed into an agency of great service to the neglected Anglo-Indian
community scattered throughout India.
The Lal Bagh student who took an agricultural course in America and is
now helping convert wastes of the Himalaya regions into fruitful
valleys.
Miss Phoebe Rowe, an Anglo-Indian who was associated with Lal Bagh in
Miss Thoburn's time, was a wonderful influence in the villages of North
India and carried the Christian message by her beautiful voice as well
as her consecrated personality. She traveled in America, endearing India
to many friends here. She is one--perhaps the most remarkable,
however--of many Lal Bagh daughters who are serving as evangelists in
faraway places.
