Summary
DescriptionAnne Dike 1916.jpg |
English: Anne Murray Dike
Immigrated to the US about 1908 in which year she married Francis Harold Dike, a Columbia graduate and instructor in French and English at MIT (1900-10) whom she divorced in 1914.
“PARIS, Feb. 19.—France paid an unusual tribute to an American woman of Scottish birth today when the Council of Ministers decided "to cite to the nation" in the Journal Officiel Mrs. Anne Murray Dike, president of the American Committee for Devastated France, who died in France on Feb. 8. Through her instrumentality more than 100 villages in Northern France were rebuilt from the ruins in which the war left them. Mrs. Dike was buried last week in one of the little villages she helped to restore.
‘After the armistice, for six years she presided over the restoration of territory 175,000 acres in extent, including two towns and 120 villages, organizing agricultural syndicates, by which the extent of the ruined zone was reduced by one-half. She conceived and brought into being the complete framework of social life – medical consultations, dispensaries, milk rations, hospitals, cantonal hygienic service, social meeting places, courses of instruction, sports grounds, camps for boy scouts, libraries and the Franco-American historical museum school for nurses and librarians. She guaranteed permanence to these institutions by entrusting their future to local committees, which today are continuing her noble work. ‘She gave to France her thoughts her heart and her strength, and high place is due her in the memory of this nation.” |
