Hn Memortam Miss Sanih A. Frierson. over loyal lo the I’ni versify, the devoted friend of each student, died peaecfully on Sunday. March tenth, full of honor, happy in the love of all who knew her. Miss Frierson was made librarian of the Fnivcrsitv in 1888. She entered upon her duties without previous training, hut she was so willing, so faithful, so obliging, that she was efficient from the first. Her knowledge of the library became so thorough that she could on a moment’s notice find any hook called for. and thus meet the demands of her position. When the new building was opened and the organization of the library was changed so as to make the service accord with the modern system, it was found that Miss Frierson was so familiar with the books that her sendees were too valuable to be dispensed with. As the weight of veal’s liore down, her faithful spirit strove, and successfully strove, to maintain her usefulness, though the effort was telling on her health and strength. The authorities of the Carnegie Foundation, being informed of the eireuinstances, decided to place her on the roll of acceptable college workers, grown old in the service. When she was thus relieved there were three duties, if duty is the word, which Miss Frierson did not surrender: first, the care of her loved flowers on the campus; second, serving as chaperone at student entertainments; third, certain commencement courtesies, as pinning on I'nivcrsity colors, tying the diplomas with ribbon, looking after the comfort of visitors, sitting with Seniors on graduation day. in which she took pleasure. It is pleasant to remember a life so full of kindness to others, coming to a graceful and honored close, keeping parts of the life-work which are bright and brightening and laying aside those which are dull and beclouding. She. herself, in life, had evidence of the universal esteem in which she was held by the concord of approval which greeted the recognition of services at the time of her retirement from active duty. It was a rare experience. Those of us who survive her were made happy by the evidence of appreciation and loss. I will not say sorrow, which flooded in. making the service of laying this lady to rest more impressive than the costly obsequies of the rich and the renowned. Over the loyal heart we pinned old “Georgia’s” colors; we buried the smiting harshness of the grave under Georgia flowers; and from over the wide state—yes, and from far beyond her borders, thousands of Georgia hearts echoed the prayer. “God keep thee, kindly friend. God keep thee well.” What more? What need for more? 1). C. Harrow.
