An
homage
to

,
“one
who
,
through
genuine
love
and
deep
understanding
of the
best
in
literature
, has
created
for her
pupils
and
friends
a
new
and
wonderful
world
; a
creation
,
too
,
which
must
live
because
of the
strong
personality
behind
it
. In the
future
, as in the
past
, her
influence
will
ever
be
our
inspiration,”
published
