Parts of the citation read: 'You entered Williamsport Dickinson Seminary in September, 1926, and graduated with the Class of 1928. Your education was continued at Bucknell University where you earned the A.B. degree in 1932 and the Master of Arts degree in 1933. On Christmas Day, 1941, you became the bride of James M. Mathers and together you developed a successful insurance business in Altoona … you continued to manage the business while your husband was on duty during World War II, and after his untimely death several years later … Your concern for the College and your generosity prompted you to establish a memorial honoring your parents and your sister, Anna, who graduated from the Seminary in 1930. This memorial is our newest women's dormitory, Forrest Hall ...' John G. Detwiler, Acting President of the College.
