In the spring of 1908 and the winter of 1909, Miss Hazard was
obliged to be absent, because of ill health, and again for a part

to which her personal generosity so largely contributed, are less

our busy routine the graces of home and a far-pervading spirit of
loving kindness.

"Miss Hazard came to us a stranger, but by her gracious bearing

consecration of her life, she has so endeared herself to her faculty
