NINETEEN THREE 31 Alice Freeman Palmer URING our Senior year at Bradford, the school met with a great loss in the death of one of its most devoted trustees, Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer. Her death was mourned all over the country and by many institutions, but nowhere was her loss felt more deeply than at Bradford Academy. This woman, who was so much sought after by all, and whose in- fluence and help were esteemed so highly, was with us scarcely more than a year. In this short time, however, she did much for the school and won the love of every girl. Soon after Mrs. Palmer became a trustee, she came to the Academy and talked to us. Never were the girls impressed so deeply with the feeling that here was one who understood them and loved them. She seemed to live for girls, and her deep interest and sympathy for them was shown in every word that she spoke that day. Soon after that she visited us again, and we came to feel that she was not only interested in all girls in general, but that she was also beginning to care for us in particular. This feeling drew us much more closely to her, and every girl considered her a personal friend. A helpful friend she proved indeed, for although the privilege was not given to any of us to know Mrs. Palmer intimately, yet hers was such a noble character that she left with each of us, after one of her talks, some of her own enthusiasm and many of the uplifting thoughts that made her the woman that she was. Mrs. Palmer's life was devoted chieliy to the working out of problems con- cerning the higher education for women, and no one person has done so much in this work as she. However, she seems to have been interested in every good cause, and never refused to give generously of her time and strength wherever she thought she could do good. Her most important educational work was as president of Wellesley College. Q We, of Bradford Academy, were among the last to lay claim to her affec- tions, and, as usual, the claim did not go unanswered. She gladly came to us and gave us her help. The members of the class of 1903 will always be thank- ful that we were-given the great privilege of being under her influence even for so short a time, and we know that we shall always be better for it.
