After its inauguration on November 3, 1943, the Foyer’s pool of interested students topped four hundred, with one hundred students coming to the Foyer each day for lessons on anything people asked for, including sewing, cutting, cooking, and typing classes, as well as French, Spanish, and English language courses — the demand overwhelmed the supply by a factor of thirteen, the thirty-person room receiving a hundred women a day.
