now women who received her in
their homes as their equal do not
deny her beauty. Her fellow
students called her "the beautiful
brunette" Her manners were
those of a person of gentle birth,
and her intelligence and ability
were recognized alike by her
classmates and professor. Her
skin was dark but not swarthy.
Her hair was black hut straight

gathered it in a knot at the back
of her head. Hereyes we're coal

Her appearance was such that in
other Environments she might
have been taken for an Indian !;
indeed. not a few of the students
whispered that Indian blood
flowed in her veins. On class
day and commencement the
young woman took a prominent
