The tragically sudden death of Mrs. MacKenzie came as a blow to all students, past and present. Perhaps the past students as a whole knew her better, and so will feel her loss the more, for, unfortunately, in the last few years failing health prevented her from seeing as much of College and student life as was her wont.

She was a woman of charming personality, ready sympathies and varied interests, while her kind and gentle wit coupled with a quiet under-standing saved many a delicate situation. Her hospitality was unlimited and no student however shy could resist her smile not feel embarassed in her presence.

She was never too busy to spare a cheery word to an harrassed Executive, never too tired at the end of a long night to be kind to a worried club committee. When things went wrong, and they did sometimes, she could smile and remember that at such a time understanding and encouragement might save the day. Small wonder she was loved!

With her passing, V.U.C. has lost a sincere friend and a very gentle lady.
