the educational force of the University of Harvard. 

 Already this has been from the start our one distinc- 

 tion. This makes it more marked and ensures per- 

 manence and a marked character for our little insti- 

 tution. 



TO MRS. LOUIS AGASSIZ 



Camhridgey June 12, 1903 

 My dear Mrs. Agassiz: Mr. Briggs was elected 

 unanimously, of course, on Wednesday evening, and 

 he has this morning notified Miss Goes of his accept- 

 ance. But it is no longer a secret, as it was "an- 

 nounced" yesterday evening at Mrs. Moore's musical 

 party, and you will probably read it in the "Tran- 

 script" before you read this. . . . 



Your resignation had its solemnizing effect, I as- 

 sure you. A committee of three has been appointed, 

 Mr. Gilman, Mrs. Cooke and Miss Longfellow, to 

 express to you the feelings of the Association. Your 

 letter was like you. 



I hope you are comfortably toasting your feet over 

 a fire and looking at the sea. 



Yours sincerely, 



Agnes Irwin 



TO A COMMITTEE OF THE ASSOCIATES CONSISTING OF 

 MR. ARTHUR GILMAN, MRS. JOSIAH P. COOKE AND 

 MISS ALICE M. LONGFELLOW.
