Excerpt from Wellesley College Bulletin, Annual Reports Number: President and Treasurer, 1935-1936The Trustees of Wellesley College, in formal meeting assembled, desire to make record in the permanent annals of the College of their profound gratitude for the life and of their deep sorrow because of the death of Ellen Fitz Pendleton, the sixth president of the College: It is, therefore, resolved that the Trustees of Wellesley College do make record of their gratitude to Almighty God for the life of this wise and noble woman, who for fifty-four years lived within the circle of the College and for exactly half a century spent herself in its service. Recalling the gentleness and the dignity, the wisdom and the vision of this gifted leader of the College, together with her devotion to the service of truth and to the lighting of the minds of the many thousands who came thither, the Trustees do make permanent memorial of their gratitude to Him who was the Author and Sustainer of her life.It is further resolved, that the Trustees do make record of their admiration for the great achievements of Ellen Fitz Pendleton as the gifted administrator and builder of the steadily growing College. Wise and far-seeing as an educator, just and firm and yet sympathetic with her fellow laborers, tireless and cou rageous as a builder of both the plant and the vested funds of the College, she was a magnificent incarnation of womanly poise and dignity in the midst of a confused and troubled time. Now that she has laid down her work, a host of memories rise up to declare the College signally blessed in her amazing fitness for the task to which she gave herself utterly.It is finally resolved that the Trustees make record of their own and of the general grief, great not only for the College, suddenly deprived of her mature counsels and gracious presence, but great by reason of the loving esteem in which she was held by all who knew her well. It could not be otherwise, for to know her well was to be drawn to her and to be drawn to her was to esteem her greatly. Strength and dignity were her garments, and she Opened her mouth with wisdom, but always kindness was on her tongue. In word and deed she gave outward and visible proof that she was a woman who loved the Lord worthy of all praise.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
