7104	Vida's father David was drowned less than a year after arriving in India as a missionary. Her mother called her Davida and returned to Boston in 1862. The bond between mother and daughter was always very close. Vida never left her mother while she lived. She took her with her on trips abroad and she accepted a teaching post at Wellesley rather than at her Alma Mater, Smith, so as to be near her mother. Vida graduated from Smith College in 1884 and then studied Elizabethan literature for a year at the University of Oxford, England. In 1887 she was appointed an instructor of English at Wellesley College, Massachusetts, becoming a full professor in 1910. Smith College awarded her an M.A. degree in 1889. At Wellesley, several of Dr. John Scudder's descendants sat at her feet and admired while she taught English. She stayed at Wellesley for forty years, and had a great influence on several generations of young people. Vida was a formative and practical leader in the settlement movement initiated in London by Arnold Toynbee and continued in New York by Jean Fine and Dr. Jane Robbins under the College Settlements Association. In 1888, Vida joined the Society of Companions of the Holy Cross, a semimonastic group of about fifty Episcopalian women devoted to prayer and the accomplishment of social harmony in South Byfield, Massachusetts. Vida was active in a number of social welfare organizations, and helped found the Denison House Settlement in Boston in 1888. In 1903 she helped organize the Women's Trade Union League. Her support of the striking textile workers in Lawrence, Massachusetts, led to widespread newspaper criticism of her and of Wellesley in 1912, but the college remained steadfast in defense of her right to speak and act freely. Vida wrote numerous books on both literature and her socialist ideals, including "The Life of the Spirit in the Modern English Poets (1895)," "Introduction to the Study of English Literature (1901)," "Socialism and Character (1912)," and her autobiography "On Journey (1937)." She retired from teaching in 1928, and she died in Wellesley, Massachusetts, on October 9, 1954.	Scudder, Julia Vida Dutton (I3272)

Soon thereafter, he was set to work helping to design the Brooklyn Bridge. He found engineering not to his taste, however, and entered Harvard Law School. He soon became a judge in the Chancery Court of New Jersey. The need for an independent, non-political, objective newspaper, free from political or corporate control, came to dominate his thoughts, however, and on 1 September 1883, at the age of 30, he and two partners, Lawrence S. Mott, and Henry A. Steel, brought out the first issue. Mr. Mott's connection with the paper was short, for in a few months he withdrew to a newspaper in Trenton in which he had a prior interest.

After World War I, he was able to build a new edifice that opened officially in 1925. In addition to his work in Tindivanam, Walter was made treasurer of the mission. Due to the malfeasance of an assistant secretary, however, money was misappropriated and Walter felt that he was to blame. The worry affected his health, and he returned to America.
