We have been further saddened this year by the passing of five oilier persons who gave generously of their teaching and friendship to thousands of girls for many years. Some of these five leaders were pioneers in the development of this college ; all of them devoted their lives to the building of an institution of which we may be justly proud. . . . Miss Coleman organized the department of physical education and was its head for twenty- seven years. Mr. Forney, the last surviving member of Dr. Mclver ' s original faculty, was the first treasurer and established the department of business education. Dr. Gove, head physician from 1893 to 1937, established the department of health; and Miss Jamison, long a secretary and counselor, organized the home economics department. Miss Laird, an associate professor of French, was a member of the faculty for twenty-five years. We cannot estimate the extent of their influence, for their lives have become a part of the his- tory of our college. . . . Their lasting memorials are the reflections of their personalities in our way of life here. All were respected and beloved, and will be long remembered. Their contributions have helped make Woman ' s College what it is today. . . . e m o r i a m MISS JESSIE C.
