training. In many other respects her na-
tural endowment could not have been a
product of education. She was intellectu-
ally alert and keeri; she understood the
most complicated situations: almost before
they had been explained, so swift was her
power of compgghension ; she was incapa-
ble of Aoring herself or anyone else; in
all my acquaintance with her I have never
heard her say a stupid thing. In one sense
she was not an intellectual woman in that
her inspiration. neveF seemed to. me to
come primarily from books, and she was
not a great reader of books. -She was pre-
eminently social and loved to surround
herself with people; her tastes were execu-
tive rather than scholarly; she was an
example of what intellectual people can]
do to heighten and refine such powers.
“She had the quality of faithfulness,
without which I sometimes think all other
qualities are ineffective; she was scrupu-
lous in the performance of duties; inde-
fatigable in her determination to accom-
plish what she set before herself; she never

quality of all that I valued most highly,
next, of course, to her keen intelligence,
was her fair-mindedness. She seemed to
me absolutely just.
“But it seems to me that over and above
all these really very wonderful qualities
of Miss Ritchie were two that I think I
have never before seen combined to so
large a degree in one person—pluck and
joyousness—and they are qualities that no
education can give. We may gain by great
effort a kind of moral courage and a
studied cheerfulness, but gaiety and plucki-
ness like Miss Ritchie’s are not to be ac-
quired at will. She had in its fullest sense
the joy of living. I never saw her come
into my office without pleasure, however
wearisome in itself the detail. that brought
her, she was so gay; and this was the
case even when during the last year of
her secretaryship she was not well and
had remained in office. only for the sake
of the college, because as she said, ‘It was
not fair to leave it in a tight place.’
“Her pluck and gaiety made her fond of
all kinds of sports and she excelled in
them, and her fairness and justice made
her an excellent umpire, as all basketball
players knew.”

In a recent issue of the New York Her-
ald-Tribune, April 16, Dr. Henry Van Dyke
of Princeton University, is quoted as urg-
ing college students to follow a recom-
mendation from Boswell’s Life of Johnson,
hamely that a “young man should read five
hours a day and so acquire a great deal
of knowledge.”
Dr. Van Dyke is said to have snail
that the college man of today has “prac-
tically no background of general reading.”
“If college men only would follow the ad-
vice of the famous doctor and find out
for themselves what are good, bad, and in-
different books at an early age, a great
good would be’ done at an impressionable
periot. If a man cannot learn for himself
what is good to read he is not fit to be |>
