Mrs. Calder's passing is universally mourned and will be severely felt. Her example of unselfish devotion will long remain a cherished memory among those of us who were privileged to know her well. She looked for the best in everyone, and spoke ill of no-one. There could be no finer epitaph.—THE HEAD MASTER. MRS. FRANCES ELIZABETH RHODES We regret to record the death at Bristol, on 13th December, 1951, of Mrs. Rhodes, the widow of Mr. H. W. Rhodes and mother of Mr. K. H. Rhodes, O.P., and member of the Staff.
