Zln tmuriam It is not an easy task to find an appropriate tribute to Mrs. Gilbert, because all thoughts of her now inevitably involve a sense of sadness and a knowledge of loss, and these feelings are in conflict with our remembrance of our Mrs, Gilbert. Every- one at certain times in her life prays for a gay heart and a quiet mind, and most of us then supinely wait for the miracle and ruefully accept what we take to be the denial without ever realizing that we have ourselves rejected the gift. Mrs. Gilbert knew that the gay heart, the gentle manner, and a sensitive awareness are gifts that have to be won through ceaseiess struggles and have to be preserved by continuing vigilance. It is so easy to assume that she could do all things so easily and that her cleansing laughter was effortless. Clear insight into the troubled hearts of the young comes not as a sudden revealing Hash of lightning in the confusing darkness of the night, but rather as the slow unfolding of the prayed-for dawn. Mrs. Gilbert had so much to offer us and offered it so readily and so happily that we accepted it as carelessly as we breathe in the life-giving air. Thoughtlessly we expected her bounty to be limitless and endless. It has taken us many sad months to realize that the endlessness of her boundless gifts has now a different meaning. What she has given us will go on directly with this present generation, and it will become part of the inheritance of the next. Perchance in the years that are to follow, some discerning visitor may say that there is a certain tranquility at Mary Institute that is unique. How this wonderful gift came to Mary Institute will not then be important, and this will be the way things should be, too, because this is the manner in which great teachers find immortality. -10-
