At a service held in Taylor Hall on
Wednesday, May 5th, the directors, fac-

College united to honor the memory of
Mary Elizabeth Garrett, born in Balti-
more, March 5, 1854; died at the Deanery,
Bryn Mawr College, April 3. 1915; mem-
ber of the Board of Directors of Bryn
Mawr College since its foundation, 1906;
in grateful appreciation of her lifelong in-

her invaluable and generous gifts to Bryn

Dean Reilly was the first speaker. She

"We, the directors, faculty, alumna?
and students of Bryn Mawr College, the
friends of Miss Garrett and the friends of
the College, gathered here to-day, unite
to honour her memory. Her life we can-
not honour. She herself made it complete
by her integrity and strength of purpose.
We can only make ourselves strong In the
memory of one who gave witb never-
eadlng generosity of her means and of
her personal thought and strength to the
peculiar work which we seek here to ac-
complish and to the larger  interests of
ougbness and punctiliousness, her splen-
did industry and courage in the face of
difficulties, her very high sense of -duty
and responsibility and. I should like to
add, her beautiful courtesy. So it is for
us, College women and professional
women that we be. to learn from Miss
Garrett, who was neither a college nor a
professional woman, something beyond
what even a college training or a profes-
sional training can give."
Mr. Thomas Raeburn White, one of the
Trustees of the College, gave an apprecia-
tion of Miss Garrett's artistic sense In as-
sisting to plan the cloisters and the
grounds of Bryn Mawr.
