As I was the daughter of devout Christian parents, my early religious training was on an equal basis with my secular schooling. Alter high school, I spent some time in secretarial work as well as college train¬ ing—all of which has furnished a splendid founda¬ tion for my present vocation. Some years ago the Lord led me to Northwestern-— ' from which I was later graduated—and as my ear became more keenly tuned to His voice, I have heard Him say, In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths ' C, A.

All my education—grade, high school, and univer¬ sity—was received in Minneapolis., Born ol god¬ ly parents, I never remem¬ ber the time I did not reverence God and His Word; so I cannot give the time of my conversion. I do know that I ' m a sin¬ ner saved by grace. I taught English and French at West High School in Minneapolis. The World War of 1914 found me in Europe. After a delayed return, I was doing can¬ teen work among our soldiers when Dr Riley urged me to teach English at Northwestern. His per¬ sistence gained reluctant consent. I have made the following progress: (1) part-time teacher in night school 1918; (2) full-time Dean of Women in the day school 1925; (3) the President ' s wife, 1933. Hobby—My home.
