. ., 1 Q Q E E An Appreciation Mrs. Mary McKnight. who with her husband. Mr. J. T. Me- Knight, was a loyal friend and generous benefactor of Knox College. died September 22. 1913. at her home in Galesburg. Mrs. Mc-Knight had been an invalid for several years. but her interest in the welfare of the college. with whose history she had in various ways been closely associated all her life, never waned. Mr. and Mrs. McKnight will always be remembered as the donors of the George Davis Science Hall. a memorial of Mrs. MeKnight's father. for many years the treasurer of the college. In addition to the initial gift of 3425.000 bestowed in the life-time of her husband. a sum sufficient to cover every cent of indebtedness remaining on this splendid building was given by Mrs. McKnight last June. The full amount of these donations was fli85.777. Mrs. MeKnight's will also provided for large bequests to various philanthropic and religious objects. Closely following upon the death of Mrs. McKnight. the college lost another loyal and helpful friend by the death of Mrs. Minnie Avery. wife of the late Cyrus M. Avery. Like Mr. McKnight. Mr. Avery had been a valued member of the Board of Trustees. Both he and Mrs. Avery had been actively interested in promoting the pros- perity of the institution. Both had contributed generously to the en- dowment fund and Mrs. Avery had later established a scholarship in memory of her husband. The family was one most highly esteemed in the Knox circle. Mrs. Avery died October 9. 1913. 0 V 6 A L ' i t lv iv mmgmmmmznmiiiinzammd KNQX E lllllllllll L
