Author Description

Excerpt from El Palacio, Vol. 21: September 1, 1926 The most enduring thing possible for any human being to accomplish she accomplished. She lived a life that will be an influence in the world for all time. Her friends know perfectly well that no memorial such as we unveil today will add anything to that splendid life. But her old associates in scientific work and her friends of the Woman's Board of this institution who came nu der the spell of her lovable personality wanted to place here a lasting record of one phase of her life work. So they caused this bronze tablet to be made, and today we are privileged to dedicate it. The sculptor was Mr. Bush-brown of Wash ington, a lifelong friend. Mr. William H. Holmes watched every detail of its creation with Francis La Flesche, the adopted son of Miss Fletcher, and Mrs. Mitchell Carroll. The relief is finished and is now installed in the institution which Alice Fletcher helped to create and which she endowed with her splendid mind and personality.
