Excerpt from Re-Union of the Class of Sixty-Nine, Hamilton College, Twenty Years After Graduation The work of caring for the unfortunate insane is a pecu liar and delicate work, requiring the utmost tact, good judg ment and care. It is a work to which I never dreamed of being called; yet I can honestly say, it is a work into which I have thrown my best powers and my whole heart. That I have been successful thus far in the trying duties imposed upon me, is a constant surprise to myself. I can only state, without boasting, that I have worked earnestly and steadily, and have always put my faith in the strength and goodness of that kind Providence which has sustained and inspired me.
