GEORGIA AVERY KENDRICK
1848 - 1922
The Faculty of Vassar College desires to record its
sorrow at the death on December l4, 1922 of Georgia
Avery Kendrick for twenty-two years (1891-1913) Lady
Principal of Vassar College.
Occupying a difficult position where students and
faculty meet on a more nearly equal footing she main-
tained dignity but not at the cost of affection and
showed to all members of the College a warm feeling
of personal interest. Gentle in manner, courteous
in address and demeanor she revealed at the same time
a steadfastness of purpose that endued her influence
with unsuspected permanence and power. As social
head of the College she embodied the grace of a hos-
tess with a sincere knowledge of intellectual pursuits
and respect for academic standards.
