Frsruary, wRNE Pace 8 The HASTERNER 1926 Ruth Lillian Gordon 1923-1926 ———————————— ae seg GARY Fe nee Over two thousand years ago @ very wise man said: ‘‘It is a good thing to be rich, and a good thing to be strong, put it is a better thing to be beloved of many friends,’’ That is our thought about Miss R acher gained the deep affection of uth Gordon, who during her two years at Eastern as mathematics te everyone with whom she came in contact. A review of Miss Gordon’s life shows her energy and ability. After graduating from Mount Holyoke and teaching for a few years, she returned 7 . i r A aties Vor to her college to gain another degree and to instruct in mathematics. For a time she did social service work in the slums of Boston, so taxing her strength that she had to give up all work for several years. After regaining her health she taught in the high school of her own home, Cobleskill, N. Y., from where she came to Washington and to us. Two years is a short time in which to make such an impression as Miss Gordon has left at Eastern. Truly, those who bring sunshine into the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves. There was a brightness about her, an interest in each individual, that radiated from her, as well as a quiet force and a sineerity we cannot forget though she is no longer here. After a long illness Miss Gordon died at her home in New York State on January 22. Never have we who knew her realized more the truth of those old words of Seneca: ‘‘The comfort of having a friend may be taken away, but not that of having had one.”’ R. A.
