' m THE ARBUTU5 1911 IN MEMORIAM tOL ' ISE ANN GOODBODY was for fif- Ic-cn years an officer of administration of Indiana University. She came to In- diana in 1893 as secretary to President S ain ; at the same time she identified herself with the nndergraduate Hfe of the I ' nivcrsity, and in 1894 completed begnn at Cornell University and the Le- hnd Stanford Junior University. She spent a year in a con- fidential position with a publishing house, a year in France and Germany in study and travel, and a year as secretary to President Swain at Swarthmore College. She returned to Indiana University as secretary to President Bryan. In 1Q06 she was appointed as acting dean of women and two years ' later as dean. Understanding as she did the extreme difficulties of this post, she accepted with great reluctance. She shrank from the public functions involved in the dean- ship. But with resolution and courage she entered on her new duties, brought to them rich knowledge and sympathy, and with characteristic quietness demonstrated her larger efficiency in the larger offices. Her influence pervaded the life of the University; for as she had regard to the person- ality of others, she won and held the personal regard of all. The faculty wish to record their appreciation of the no- ble qualities of this their departed colleague : her right- mindedness, her courage; her balance of judgment, and in it all and througli it all her hinh order of womanliness. Louise Ann Goodbody was a child of the people. She knew how life is circumscribed and often repressed by hard conditions of living. But she also knew the virtues indi- genous to such a soil ; simplicity of mind, a spirit of help- fulness, and a candid sincerity of purpose. A happy train of circumstances led her moreover to know and rightly value the aspiration and inspiration that make the commonplace contribute richly to higher and belter living. She was thus able to work outward and upward from within. For her counsels never lost sight of reality and bore only the surer fruition because of their homely sanity and their honest rec- ognition of the actual facts of life and human nature. She was a woman of uncommon discretion. No matter of business entrusted to her, no personal concern confided to her was of so small importance as to make the trust and confidence, to her, anything less than sacred. This discre- tion, no less than her sagacity in practical aflfairs, made her a valued advisor in every position .she held. All her activity was marked by a quiet alertness and efli- ciency. Its scope and ramifications were never apparent on the surface of things, and it was ever singularly free from any intrusive thought of self. She thus realized the poet ' s ideal of Quiet Work and thus brought home his lesson Of toil unsever ' d from tranquillity ! Of labor, that in lasting fruit outgrows Far noisier schemes, accomplished in repose, Too great for haste, too high for rivalry. March 7, 191 1.
