法萨尔大学 (Vassar
College) 的创办人--马修.法萨尔 (Matthew
Vassar) 生于1792年4月29日
你会看到古老的法莎大学
我们的爱永远都不应该消逝
也都很清楚的知道
我们感念马修.法萨尔的啤酒
这首对马修.法萨尔致敬的歌曾经一度受到欢迎,她是法莎大学的创办人,于1792年4月29日出生于英格兰的诺弗克 (Nortfolk) ,他因为酿酒事业能成为富豪。在他的外甥女莉蒂雅.布斯 (Lydia
Booth) 游说之下,他捐出一半的财富、以及在纽约朴基西 (Poughkeepsie) 地区广达200英亩的土地,成立一所女子大学。他之所以成立这所学校,就是为了要和当时拒绝女性入学的那些名校相比。
And so you see, to old V.C. Our love shall never fail. Full well we know that all we owe To Matthew Vassar's ale.
This once-popular song pays tribute to Matthew Vassar, founder of Vassar College (V.C.), who was born on April 29, 1792, in Norfolk, England. He had made a fortune in the brewing business. His niece, Lydia Booth, inspired Vassar to donate half of this fortune, as well as 200 acres of land in Poughkeepsie, New York, to create a women's college. He intended for it to be comparable to the best universities of the day, most of which excluded women.
