Sesuted Mankind hi elt . . She was a courageous, gallant spirit crusading in the great struggle to permit the triumph of knowledge over ignorance, giving her all in the hope that young men and young women might be qualified to take to the class- rooms of the schools of America a philosophy of education, a philosophy of life . . . which coupled with established teaching technics might result in the building and the preserva- tion of an intelligent and enlightened civiliza- tion. She loved her work. She loved her stu- dents and her faculty associates. She loved the great causes for which she struggled. She loved her opportunity to serve the youth of America. And today though lips are closed and the tongue is silenced, the high ideals which were hers, the inherent good which characterized her every action is reflected in the thought and deeds of college presidents, superintendents of city schools, and literally thousands of class- room teachers who through the years were privileged to come under the spell of her in- spiring leadership. The physics texts tell us that no energy is ever lost. Thus it is that those of us priv- ileged to know her will believe . . . that the Great Teacher has in his wisdom given to her Lula E. Wirt an assignment wholly in keeping with her un- ending faith and the idealism which she cher- ished and her indominable will to serve man- kind well. Tribute to Lula E. Wirt By President Herbert L.
