EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:
How I wish that I might catch an inspiration that would enable me to depict some of Miss Bevier's fine spirit of high courage, strictest honesty, great tolerance, keen insight, illumined by a sprightly and kindly humor that has endeared her to all of us. We respect the superiority of her intellect, the accuracy of her judgment, the fine flavor of her words, but we love the warmth of her understanding sympathy, the beauty of her gracious womanliness, the greatness of her generosity and human kindliness. Significant for today is the statement she made during the tragic days of the World War 41 Home Economics, in either peace or war, has a chance to teach something of the beauty of life and the unity of life, to teach that then is an art in a well-ordered home and a wellordered life; and that perhaps is the greate thing that home economics has to do."
