Story of Grace Coppock Shows Fine Character Have you ever wondered who Graco Coppock was and what she did? We have heard a lot about the Grace Coppock Fund and the Grace Coppock Drive but few people under stand just who Grace Coppock was. Picture her as a girl with brown eyes and brown hair. She was par ticularly fond of the color yellow. The Chinese people with which she worked often spoke of her love of "gold," according to Miss Frances Drake, of the City Y. W. C. A., who was a school mate of Miss Coppock. We fail to picture Grace Coppock as a real person. She was a class offi cer in her senior year, and was on the Y. W. cabinet. She was one of the original thirteen girls to found the Black Masques which is now Mortar Board. Graduated 1905 Grace Coppock graduated from Nebraska in 1905 and left for the foreign field in September 1906. She was city secretary at Shanghai and soon became the National Secretary in China. Miss Drake said that some of the Chinese fellow workers of Miss Coppock felt, "Grace Coppock never was a foreigner. She was one of us." "The remarkable thing about Grace Coppock," said Miss Appleby of the University Y. W., "was that she steadily worked to place the re sponsibility on Chinese woman. At the time of her death there were more Chinese secretaries than Amer ican. It is n this respect that many workers make the mistake of having the responsibility on foreigners." Miss Coppock kept the idea of hav ing Chinese as the workers and the foreigners as the htipera. Since her death in 1921 the work has been carried on and a fund is raised as a memorial to this Nebras kan wh: has given l er life that Chin ese womm C'iuld have the n;;cttages that Americans have.
