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.
