    Letter from Mrs. Martha (M. B.) Haven of Cleveland, Ohio, to Frances Casement, September 25th, 1884. Haven encloses petitions and requests Casement's assistance in collecting names to protest the decision of Adelbert College to close admission to women.

After a series of mergers between a number of other schools and colleges, the institution would be known as Case Western Reserve University beginning in 1967.
