Miss Lena MacKellar

It was with deep regret, particularly among her contemporaries, that it was learnt of the death in June of Mrs. E. S. Hope, formerly Miss Lena MacKellar, one of the three women who have been elected to life membership of the Students' Association.

This distinction was conferred on her in 1910, and the College records show that she was indeed worthy of it. She was a vice-president of the Association in 1907, and was a member of the Executive for two other years. She played hockey and tennis brilliantly, and was a University Tournament representative in both of them. In addition to this she was a reliable and tireless worker on many club committees.

She won the great admiration of those at College with her, for while she did all this she was going through a period of personal difficulties and sorrow. A contemporary student, who was at one time on the V.U.C. staff, says of her in a letter: "In my first year at V.U.C. she was my hero. How I admired, at a respectful distance, her straight figure, boyish frankness, generous smile, as well as her sports ability and popularity." And this is typical of the attitude of those who knew her.
