IN MEMORIAM ELLEN BEATRICE MAHANEY March 10, 1938 I heard the songs of Paradise, I saw the gate called Beautiful. Miss Mahaney was for ten years a valued member of the English Department of The Teachers College. An earnest student, a devoted teacher, a woman of high ideals and fine character, she gave to her classes not only thorough instruction but a noble example of faithful service. LAURA SUSANNA PLUMMER July 14, 1937 Sleep on O brave-hearted — that kindled the flame — To live in man kind is far more than to live in a name. For many years Miss Plummer was head of the Health Education Department of The Teachers College. Her straightforwardness was a result of her clear thinking; her kindly, understanding manner grew out of her great love of humanity and of her greater love of God. Her broad sympathy made her tolerant in judging others, although for herself she prescribed a rigid and inviolable code. Consequently, she acted honestly but without self-righteousness,- she spoke fearlessly but always with kindness.
