She received flattering inducements to write prose but was most devoted to poetry. Her best works were religious poems and simple lyrics. She wore a plain gold ring on the third finger of her left hand, the first piece of precious metal she received for one of her poems. Thayer was not only a writer of lyrical poetry, but occasionally wrote prose, and was also a fine musician. <sup id="cite_ref-Herringshaw1890_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Herringshaw1890-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Givens_Castle_1890.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1e/Givens_Castle_1890.jpg/220px-Givens_Castle_1890.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="257" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1e/Givens_Castle_1890.jpg 1.5x" data-file-width="326" data-file-height="381" /></a><figcaption>Chicago Female College was located in the Givens Castle (1890 photo)</figcaption></figure> <p>After her father's death in 1892, Thayer became president of the nonsectarian<sup id="cite_ref-Being1895_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Being1895-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Chicago Female College,<sup id="cite_ref-Flynn_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Flynn-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> in the Givens Castle, which she owned. </p><p>In Chicago, Thayer also directed the Studio of General Culture and Literature Training.
