“I came to appreciate her many fine qualities, especially one, rather rare; that of being able to differ with you in a matter of opinion and not let it influence her to form an adverse opinion of your character.

– Sarah T. Colvin, suffragist and Minnesota Dame, speaking about Julia Metcalf, one of the founders of NSCDA-MN, upon her passing in 1922
