le 5gr o ■ft c ?J in the public schools, When Elizabethtown College was founded in L900 the Board of Trustees selected her to become the first lady teacher and preceptress of the institution. She had a clear con- ception of the ideals which Lived in the minds of the founders of the college and as a greater Elizabethtown College developed she was ever solicitous that these first principles should not be lost. Her life as a teacher was a radiating life for she had friends in all parts of the country. Her life had gone out into the lives of others. She was an ideal teacher in the classroom.

What a glory He sheds on our way ! While we do His good will, lie abides with us still. Ami with all who will trust and obev.
