Helen was full of hope and determination at her second year at the Gilman school. She had to face many difficulties. Many books she needed to study had not embossed in time for her to begin with her classes. She needed a braille writer. Slowly her difficulties disappeared. Mr Gilman had begun to remonstrate Miss Sullivan that Helen was overworked. Helen wanted to complete college. So her mother withdrew her and her sister Mildred to Cambridge school. Helan fimd new tutor Mr Keith at Cambridge. She found her personal tution pleasant. In 1899 she took the final examination of Radcliffe College. Helen had familiarised herself with new notation but during geometry and algebra examination she was confused. She read examples many time before she solve. She however did not blame authorities and overcome obstacles which came in her way
Helen was studying at Gilman school for the preparation of Radcliffe. She had completed the first year successfully and entered the second year with hope and determination. Mr Gilman had agreed that year she should study Mathematics principally. She, therefore. Took Algebra, Geometry, Physics, Astronomy. Greek and Latin for her study. At the beginning of the session, she had to face many difficulties. She did not have the embossed books Of Algebra and Geometry. It was. Therefore, very difficult for her to know the geometrical figures and solve the questions of Algebra. The class was very large and there was no special arrangement for her to grasp the intimations of her teachers. She could not know which geometrical figure. the teacher had drawn on the blackboard and how he solved questions. Miss Sullivan tried to make her understand the geometrical figures by making them on the cushion with the help of wires. But it appeared to Helen that probably it was not easy for Miss Sullivan to interpret to her the problems related to Geometry and Algebra. She was pained to know that Miss Sullivan was blamed for her inability to learn the subject properly. In a few weeks, the embossed books of Geometry, Algebra and necessary apparatus were made available to her. This made her study easily and she overcame many of her difficulties. But just then an incident that troubled both Helen and Miss Sullivan, Mr Gilman remonstrated with Miss Sullivan that she (Helen) was working too hard and it might affect her health adversely. Seeing her success in the first year it was decided that she could complete her preparation for Radcliffe in two years. But later, Mr Gilman extended this period to three years. Helen wanted to enter Radcliffe with her class completing her cause in two years. Difference between Miss Sullivan and Mr Gilman took such a turn as Helen’s mother had to withdraw her and Mildred from Gilman school. A qualified and experienced teacher was appointed to teach her at home. He would come to give her necessary instructions at her home. This made her work easy and she made steady progress in her studies. Helen had to face many difficulties in an examination. The authorities of the college did not allow Miss Sullivan to read papers to her. Those who were appointed to discharge this duty were strangers to her. They did not talk to her in the way as she could understand them. Besides, she had many other obstacles to overcome. But she successfully overcame them and completed her studies and got success in the examination.
