S illiliss itltlauhe ikettering Miss Maude Kettering's life of service, kindly and willingly given, was inspirational. The last four years were spent as Matron of Fell Hall where she cared for the physical needs of the girls in a. quiet, dignified Way. She had a sympathetic. understanding of life, a keen sense of right, and a charitable na- ture. Her untiring interest in all the activities of the school Won for her true and steadfast friends among the students and faculty. Miss Kettering's interest in boys and girls, for she understood both equally well, proved her to be at friend of youth, ever ready to suggest and point the way. Many will look back and realize her keen sense of right. Her best service to the University was given with true vvomanly courage. Each girl Who knew her Will be finer and better for having lived with such a noble character. She taught Well the lesson of thoughtfulness and kindliness. She left an ideal of womanhood toward which the girls will ever strive. The surest pledge of cz. clecttlzless Home 'is the silent homage of tlzouglzts Il nspolfen. Hellie Qllatberine illibumpsun Miss Thompson ls long and splendid service in Normal cannot be fully val- ued. Her esthetic. temperament, her fine idealism, her devotion to duty, her innate understanding of, and love for children and of the agencies which stimu- late them, made her a teacher of rare ability. Ever modest and retiring in temperament, she was peculiarly suited to teach little children. Her influence as a teacher will continue to be far-reaching. The scores of young women whom she supervised will extend her idealism and skill to many classes of children and thus widen the circle of her influences. Miss Thompson was interested in all of the activities of the school. For years she was the efficient chairman of the faculty committee on social func- tions, and was active on many other committees. Sho was effective as an in- stitute instructor and was the author of a primary reader. She always did more than her share and did it cheerfully and well. She was devoted to her friends and to her work. By her death her profession has suffered a permanent loss, and her friendship will be a cherished memory to those who were privileged to share it. 15
