The "personal equation" is everything--the
strong, gifted woman putting her whole soul into the
interpretation and transmission of her thought so that it may
inspire the hearts of those who listen; the power of
self-radiation. It is not surprising that Miss Sanborn is
everywhere greeted with enthusiasm when she speaks.--ARTHUR
LITTLE.
Miss Kate Sanborn is one of the best qualified women in this
country to lecture on literary themes. The daughter of a
Dartmouth professor, she was cradled in literature, and has
made it in a certain way the work of her life. There is
nothing, however, of the pedantic about her. She is the
embodiment of a woman's wit and humour; but her forte is a
certain crisp and lively condensation of persons and qualities
which carry a large amount of information under a captivating
cloak of vivacious and confidential talk with her audience,
rather than didactic statement.
J.C. CROLY, "Jenny June."
One of the friends I miss most at the farm is Sam Walter Foss. He was
the poet, philosopher, lecturer and "friend of man." His folk songs
touched every heart and even the sombre vein lightened with pictures
of hope and cheer.
