In Tribute The Class ot 1940 pays here a tribute long overdue to Florence Waterman. For three years she was head ot the Latin Department ot Hillsdale, and brought to the girls she taught a conception ot classic literature that was deep and tine. it was she who was responsible tor the ease with which our Cum Laude society has tunctioned during its first years. 1 X Eminent in the intellectual world as a Writer, President ot the New England Classical Society, her name graced our faculty with its dignity. Teacher and student alilce went to her with their problems, sure ot under- standing and an answer in their needs. Those ot us who lcnew her Well, the Cicero Class that she primed tor Boards with all the vigor and strength ot her personality, felt a deep personal loss at her going. It was our greatest regret that others, tollowing us, Were not to lcnow the lceenness ot her wit, the clear precision ot her intelligence, and the inspiration ot her presence. She was our omniscient one: no problem was too great tor her to help us solve. But most ot ali she made the past liveg under her, Latin was never a dead tongue. But the quality we all loved best about her was the simplicity with which she bore her learningg she was human as well as wise. Her motto was courage and good Will, and she lived close to that standard. Suffering a brolcen hip trom a bad tall, she carried on tor a year on crutches at school. She applied her ideal ot good will to every possible situation. An eager advocate ot plans tor international cooperation, and a mind lceen to detect every unjust action in national potitics, she was a wonderful symbol ot tolerance in a prejudiced Wortd. We can never reproduce here in a paragraph or so what Miss Waterman did tor us in three years, but, with a feeling common to us all as We graduate, we have tried to express our gratitude tor having lmown her,-what it has meant to be her friends. f-B.
