1,000 British pay tribute to memory of Maria Sanford Minneapolis Morning Tribune, May 10, 1920 excerpt - With reverence and with affection, more than 1,000 persons of English and Canadian descent assembled yesterday afternoon in St. Mark's Episcopal church to pay tribute to the memory of the late Miss Maria Sanford, professor emeritus of the University of Minnesota. To the persons in the audience, the memory of Miss Sanford was the memory of "the grand old woman" who had entered heart and soul in the effort for greater Anglo-Saxon unity. They were reminded of a day when Miss Sanford stood in the pulpit of St. Mark's church and herself paid tribute to the memory of English and Canadian war dead . . . . |
