In Memoriam JOHN G. MILBURN Died: August 11, 1930 MR. milburn was a Trustee of Barnard College for twenty-four years, and for thirteen years, up to the time of his death, Chairman of the Board. One of the most distinguished lawyers in New York, greatly ad- mired and beloved by his fellow members of the Bar, he brought to the governing board of Barnard much dis- tinction and the respect of the community. He brought also something even more precious, for he had an extra- ordinary gift of creating an atmosphere of kindliness and wisdom. Under his chairmanship the deliberations of the Trustees were carried on in a spirit which gave assurance that their decisions would be liberal, humane and wise. His deep interest in Barnard, his lovable personality, which won the affection of all his associates, his wide cul- ture, and his wise leadership, made him one of the most valued friends the College has ever known. LUCRETIA PERRY OSBORN (Mrs. Henry Fairfield Osborn) Died: August 26, 1930 Mrs. osborn was a Trustee of Barnard College for thirty-seven years. Becoming a member of the Board in the early days, when the College was very small and very poor, she at once took an intense interest in its welfare and development, and for many years gave ac- tive service in raising money to keep it alive, in making personal contacts with its students and officers, in ad- justing our educational relations with Columbia, and in serving on the various committees of the Board. A woman of many intellectual interests, author of several books, in touch with vitally important work in the fields of science, archaeology and music, and with a multitude of valuable social connections, she brought to Barnard broadening and enriching relations with the outer world. For the College she had helped to develop from its infancy to maturity and strength, she felt to the end warm affection and regard. Barnard will greatly miss the stimulus and encouragement of her glowing interest and friendly aid. f 20 J
