may go forth and by precept and example spread the great truths
by the light of which his fellow-men will be elevated and taught

should always cherish her memory as one of its most precious
and ennobling possessions.

The gracious influence of her personal character and rare
devotion to high public duty have been impressed upon the Trus-
tees throughout their official relations with her. They are
remembered with pleasure to this hour of sadness, and must for-
ever stimulate and inspire all who are privileged to follow
her in serving the University.
