I'' ''the autumn of 1891, Professor William J. Tucker, then of the Theological Seminary at Andover, now president of Dartmouth College, sent out a circular in which he proposed that there should be established in one of the more crowded districts of Boston a house designed to stand for the single idea of resident study and work. The singleness of this idea has ever since been the guiding principle of the settlement which came of that initial efiort.
