• This article explores Thomas and Mary’s move to Yellow Springs, Ohio, where they opened The Memnonia Institute School of Life on Earth. They offered a home, a school, a vegetable diet, hydropathic treatments, and the disciplined life of a self-sustaining association to men and women who desired freedom from society’s despotism. The public was not ready for this.
