associations confidence in the Fed

represent the voice of the citizens in

that the creation Of a So-called

cord and diSSension in the adminis-
tration of civic matters" he added.

The association asked that the

thoughtfulness of others and forget
fulness of self into a unified and I'M
conscious effort we create an atmos-
phere of happiness and contentment
in pursuit of those things which keep
life always on high level.
l, therefore, offer my gratitude to
the many friends of my childhood in
the New England area who, in schools
and homes teeming with cultural atmo-
sphere, gave me an opportunity to OBJ
serve the fine art of living.
To my mother first who taught me
as child in her own way, to be kind,
polite and generous under all condi-
tons and circumstances; to my teach
ers in the English High School at
Cambridge, Massachusetts, who met
the established attitude with greater
interest in developing it to a higher
level; to the inspiring and helpful
friendship of Mrs. Osborn W. Bright,
Mrs. Charles M. Connfelt, and Mrs.
Charles S. Guthrie, all of New York
City, who for more than twenty-five
years gave themselves so untiringly in
fellowship and understanding in the
shaping of the ideals and policies of
the cultural life of this institution; to
the warm sympathetic interest of that
first friend in this vicinity, who ex-
pressed belief in the possibility of
achieving nobler ends for minority
group, Mrs. Charles D. McIver, of
Greensboro, North Carolina; to Mrs.
Galen L. Stone, of Brookline, Massa-
chusetts, for her personal friendship
through the years and her apprecia-
ton of my every endeavor to set up
high standards without regard to race
or creed evidenced in the large finan-
cial support given me; to the members
of the faculty of the Palmer Memorial
Institute, present and past, who have
assisted in such research as was neces-
sary to answer the many questions so
persistently asked by our students.
Finally, but not less gratefully 1
acknowledge the painstaking effort at
research into the records of the teach
ings of the Palmer Memorial Institute,
it's established code of ethics, the vari-
Gus assembly and chapel talks, the
quiet hours of discussion, the social
program and the subsequent compila-
ton and arrangement of this material
by my assisantant and collaboration,
Miss Cecie R. Jenkins, without whose
devoted service and continuing enthu-
siasm this effort might not have been
achieved.
Sincerely yours,
CHARLOTTE HAWKINS BROWN
