RADCLIFFE COLLEGE 323 



Recognizing that her wishes in the matter are 

 to be absolutely respected, they accept her resig- 

 nation, without attempting to alter her decision. 

 They are, however, unwilling to consent that her 

 formal official relation with the College should here- 

 by be broken, and they request her to accept the 

 position of Honorary President of the College, in 

 which, freed from responsibility for the discharge 

 of specific duties, she may still afford to the active 

 officers of the College the benefit of her counsel, and 

 still give to the College the honor of having her name 

 at its head. 



The Associates cannot deny themselves the privi- 

 lege and satisfaction of expressing to her their sense 

 of the perfect manner in which she has discharged 

 every function of her office, and of the entirely happy 

 relations which she has maintained with the officers, 

 the teachers, and the students of the College, and 

 with the public at large interested in its welfare. 



To this official expression they desire to add the 

 warmest expression of their individual gratitude and 

 affection.
