Viewing Alice L. Kercher (1879-1935).


Alice L. Kercher (1879-1935).

A graduate of the University of Minnesota Law School in 1904, Alice L. Kercher was a private practitioner, an employee of the Federal Inheritance Tax Division in Washington, D. C., and the Federal Land Bank in Minneapolis. She then returned to private practice, specializing in real estate cases. She was also a leader in the cause of women's rights. After her death at age 55, a friend found this passage in her notebook which she quoted in memorial services for the Hennepin County Bar Association in 1936:

"LOOK to this Day, for it is Life -- the very Life of Life. In its brief course lie all the varieties and realities of your existence; the bliss of Growth, the glory of Action, the splendor of Beauty. Yesterday was already a dream and tomorrow is only a vision; but today, well lived, makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this Day. Such is the salutation of the Dawn."
