but merciful in her power; an inspiring leader but eager to acknowl- edge leadership; modest in the estimate of her own powers but bold in her conceptions and fearless in their execution; unmindful of her own rights but an undaunted fighter for the rights of others; quick and boundless in her sympathy but impersonal in her administration of justice; temperate in her expression but strong in her conviction; clear in her vision and uncompromising in her faithfulness to that vision; unassuming but inspired with power and courage; executive — teacher — friend. In her death these attributes are vitalized in our midst — her name has become a touchstone of spiritual power — the keynote of a great paean of the praise of life — an inspiring challenge not to be ministered unto but to minister. The beautiful memorial gate erected at the entrance of the grounds, the spontaneous gift of the present students of the school — is eminently fitting, for to us all she has been a sacred gate that guards the entrance to life more abundant — a friend. THE ADELIA GATES HENSLEY MEMORIAL ENTRANCES I T HAD long been one of Mrs. Hensley’s most cherished wishes to have erected, at both ends of the front drive, entrances, in keeping with the architecture of the school. The girls of this year, wishing to see realized the ideals and wishes of Mrs. Hensley, have made possible the erection of these gates. They will be dedi- cated to her memory probably during Commencement Week, and will always remain a monument to her, and to the love she inspired. 7
