himself, for he had no wrongs to redress, but his great soul saw
that woman had and he devoted life, means, energy, talents to
redress them. It is a rarely high, unselfish record of a noble
life that he has left for the admiration and example of other
men.... He was one of the most eloquent, forceful and logical
speakers we have ever had on our platform, with his fine,
resounding voice giving clear expression to his logical thinking,
and he was a ready and forceful writer....

Miss Anne Fitzhugh Miller: It was always a joy to meet Mr.
Blackwell for there was never any picking up of broken threads of
our spinning or knitting or weaving of good comradeship, which at
once continued as if no absence had intervened. I felt at home
with him always, he was a man after my own heart, direct,
decided, accurate, devoted to high ideals, and yet he possessed
an elasticity of nature which made him the most comfortable of
comrades. His sense of humor and his love of fun made the best of
good times for those who were fortunate enough to share his merry
moods.... It was always a delight to hear him speak. The sound of
his voice rested and refreshed and the soundness of his thought
inspired confidence and admiration. His half-century of
continuous and absolute devotion to the cause of woman suffrage
gives Mr. Blackwell a unique position in history. All women owe
him a debt of gratitude which they can best pay by renewed
devotion to the cause to which he dedicated his life. In the
truest and broadest sense he was and should be remembered as a
"Brother of Women."

Dr. Shaw added her own fine appreciation of the two men and speaking
from almost a lifetime of acquaintance with Mr. Garrison gave a
glowing eulogy of his noble character, lofty convictions and fearless
courage, a worthy son of a great father. Among other prominent friends
of woman suffrage who had passed away during the year, recorded in the
memorial resolutions, were Justice Brewer, of the U. S. Supreme Court;
Dr. Borden P. Bowne, head of the department of philosophy and dean of
the graduate school in Boston University; Judge Charles B. Waite and
Dr. Sarah Hackett Stevenson of Chicago; Charles Sprague Smith,
director of Cooper Institute, New York, and many devoted workers in
the various States.
