CORNELIA H. B. ROGERS
1861 - 1907
Whereas: Cornelia H. B. Rogers, Ph.D., was for
ten years instructor and associate professor in
the department of Romance Languages of Vassar
College, and whereas: in this position she proved
herself a teacher whose sure scholarship endowed
her teaching with living knowledge and healthy
culture, a sympathetic adviser always placing
principle above expediency and sound life above
all formulae of success, a woman of signal inde-
pendence of judgment and of great dignity of life,
Resolved:
That the Faculty of Vassar College hereby voice
their feelings of sorrow for the loss of a col-
league whose gentle ways won for her their united
friendship and whose inspiring life and genial
uplifting spirit made her a strong factor in the
best life of the college.
Resolved:
That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the
family.
