It is eminenth- fitting- that both of these women have been given by the Board of iManagers honorary titles in the Hne of work each has performed. It was not mv good fortune to know either of them except b}- reputation until the fall of 1902. As a geolo- o-ist does not need to have stood bv the sea coast during its formation to know by what agencies and forces it was formed, so the observer of to-day can see the marks for good that these two women have made on Swarth- more children in the vears that are gone. They have had a noble and abiding influence on the life of the College. No better evidence of this is needed than the wide expression of regret that the time has come for them to give up their active service in the College. Their names are mentioned with great respect and deep appreciation by Swarthmore ' s sons and daughters. As I visit our Alumni gatherings from time to time and witness the fine typo of graduate which the old College has produced under the influence of Dean Bond and Professor Cunningham and their colleagues. I find one of my strongest hopes and prayers to be that in the changing times and conditions the graduates in the years to come shall in no less degree possess those qualities of mind and heart for which these women have stood in the life of Swarthmore. Those who come after them may well be proud if they are able to achieve for the College in their own way and time what these gifted women have achieved in theirs. JOSEPH SWAIN. 10
