To the FISHER SCHOOL: We leave our condolences for the blow it must feel in losing 155 women of our calibre. And finally, we leave our sincere gratitude for the guidance and inspiration given us in the past two years; and we hope that we may prove we can pay dividends equal to the investment of patience, toil, and under- standing which was spent in our behalf.
