The age-herald., 1898-08-28

The annex is a glorious tribute to her ef- forts and is an illustration of what wo- man can do. Its accomplishment has given the most convincing evidence of her ener getic spirit and brilliant record of achieve ment. The naming of the annex in her honor was a just tribute to her indefati- gable work for all that was best for young 1 womanhood.
 The normal school in Livingston has been placed on a firm basis by her labors, and l the climax of her great work for educa-
 tional development has been reached in the university annex.
 Miss TutwiIer's earnestness of purpose has been a potent factor in her successful
 work. She is possessed of strength of
 mind and character, judgment, justice and
 great executive ability.
 Miss Tutwilers life has been an interest ing one, and her work for philanthropy has gone hand in hand with that of educa- ton. Her own education began under her
 father, pr. Henry Tutwiler, of Greene Springs. Later she entered a French school in Philadelphia, and then went to
 Vassar college. Miss Tutwiler has travelled extensively in England and on the conti-
 nent, and was the representative or the
 National Journal of Education" of Boston at the Paris exposition in 1878. She has been president of one of the departments of the International Educational association, and was one of the notable wome at the Worlds Congresses, which met in Chicago during the summer of 1893. She was also mem- Der of the Congress of the Representative Women of the World, and the secretary for Alabama of the International Congress of Charities and Corrections. She was a con- spicuous figure in Washington at the re- cent notable gathering of educators, and was one of the most distinguished women at Monteagle this season, which has been an unusually brilliant one, the guests being many of the brainiest women in the south.
 Her work for prison reforms is recognized throughout the state and her power TOT good has reached through many channels. In her home in Livingston she fnds time amidst her school duties to instruct on sun day a large class of colored children, visits tbe prisons and distributes wagon-loads of necessities to the poor. The highest praise that could be given to this brainy and am- bilious woman is from the great number or yolng girls who are placed in her charge and who having the privilege or khoWlhs her personally, recognize the loVe1ness or her character and her womanly charms. The young women of Alabama have cause to honor Miss Tutwiler, who has bent her energies to open a future to tkem of limit less possibilities.
 The opening of the university doors to young women lacked genuine welcome. A young woman might come and go some time between dawn and twilight, but, unlike her brother student, her home was elsewhere. Nowadays the campus fence will enclose all alike freedom of grounds and convenience to recitation halls will be alike hers. Her presence will illuminate the university halls to say nothing of giving touch of smart ness to academic dignity. With the coming of autumn she will be slipping tea over her Shakespeare, and getting a breath Of under graduate atmosphere that will be very dear to her in after years.
