To KATHERINE CHIPMAN BOYDEN Wife, mother and friend The Class of 1935 In profound admiration and loyal fellowship Dedicates this book Katherine Chipman Allen was born April 25, 1852. After graduating from the Bridgewater Normal School, she was married in 1877 to Arthur Clarke Boyden. During many years in which Dr. Boyden became teacher, principal, and president at Bridgewater, Mrs. Boyden established and maintained a home which not only furnished a background for a singularly devoted family life, but also figured largely in the thought and affection of the school. We wish to express our loving recognition of Mrs. Boyden ' s ever-keen interest in all our college activities. Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. . . . Her hus- band is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land. . . ■ She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. . . . Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates. — (from Proverbs 31.)
