Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chatham College: The First Ninety Years Professor Dysart was educated at the University of Nebraska and at Columbia University, and at Chatham was continuously responsible for courses in ancient and medieval history until her retirement. For her, his tory has been one of the most luminous of the humanities. Though most exacting, her scholarship is one not only of facts but of values as well. She has made history a truly liberating and enlarging experience for genera tions of Chatham students. No one who has taught at Chatham has been more devoted to the col lege. She has always given fully of her time and her energy and her counsel, not only in the course of duty, but frequently with generous voluntary helpfulness. Though not always robust, she has tired herself unsparingly, and this out of a faith in the tradition and meaning of the college that has been inspiring to students and colleagues alike. Her serenity, her kind ness, her generosity spring from a deep inner source, and are no senti mental or professional pose. Her retirement has left all who knew her with a grateful sense of her contribution to the cause to which we are all committed. This volume, with research reaching back over many years, is her tribute to the Chatham she knew and loved. Miss Dysart would not wish this volume to come from the press with out her habitual recognition of the contribution of others who from per sonal memory, family records, and treasured documents have filled out many otherwise sparse sections. Her ultimate thanks will be to the reader who through these pages may come to know Chatham better through greater understanding of its wellsprings. Our thanks, in turn, go to Miss Dysart for providing such a rich opportunity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
