Ihere is a deep undertone of sadness
IN our hearts to-day, as within a few
weeks two members of our executive
committee have passed away. their va
cant places make us pause to think of
the loss we have sustained. The hon
ored name of DR. Leonard J. Sanford
mas been on the list of our exeeutive
committee since the formation of the
school, tWenty-three years ago. He AL
ways took a deep interest in its welfare
ana we felt that we could rely upon his
auNlce Wnen any important question
was under consideration
Mrs. John Brewster Fitch Joined the
executive committee little more than
Two years ago and took up the work
with great earnestness. Her snecial
department was the oversight Of the
Nurses home, and her many acts of
kindness and generosity there will be
long remembered. She has been taken
from us in the prime of life and in tbe
helsnt OF usefulness, and we deeply
feel our loss. The impress she has left
upon her work and upon our hearts
will not quickly pass away.
