ALICE FREEMAN PALMER.
(By George Herbert Palmer.)
So fares she forth with smiling Godward face;
Nor should we grieve, but give eternal thanks—
Save that we mortals are, and needs must mourn.
Alice Elvira Freeman was born February 21, 1850, in Coles-ville,
New York. She came to be one of the most remarkable women
in the United States.
The influence of her childhood were the country life, narrow
means, obscurity and her father's change of occupation.
While she was still a child, her father spent two years at the
Albany Medical College to become a doctor, and when he came
back, the family moved to Windsor. There she entered a larger
school, found new associations, and began to broaden her life.
She was known in the school as one of the brightest and most
intelligent of students. One boy in speaking of her at the time,
said, "There's a girl in my class who knows everything, everything."
During her school year at Windsor there was a young man
teacher who was especially inspiring. It was he who taught her
accuracy and enthusiasm. He made her see the necessity for a
greater broadening and a higher education so that she might be
better fitted to fill her place in the world.
After much discussion she finally persuaded her parents to
help her through school, and she started for Michigan, choosing
Ann Arbor because it was the best co-educational college at the
time.
She was poorly equipped to enter, both as to financial matters
and education, but her indomitable courage that many afterwards
remarked on, brought her through and she graduated with
honor from every one of her classes.
Her life at Ann Arbor was one long difficult strain to keep
herself up, for she always carried more subjects than the regular
course. She threw herself into the society of the school, brought
the Young Women's Christian Association up to a better standard,
putting it on a surer footing and became a member of several
clubs; and when one considers the poor health she was in during
her whole college career it is remarkable that she was able to do
all she did, with such courage, enthusiasm and enjoyment.
President Angell often spoke of her "outgoing spirit" at this
time, the wonderful sympathy she had which saw the needs of
others and ministered to them regardless of her own.
In her Junior year financial matters became so bad that she
took a position as teacher in the high school at Ottawa, 111.,
taught there the rest of the year, and was able to send enough
