A picture of her life and personality is given in a small memorial
volume, which consists chiefly of a series of addresses made by personal
friends at a meeting held in Greenwich House shortly after her death. In
the descriptions of her friends, the girl’s devotion to athletics, her
spirit of comradeship, her strong-willed nature, her democratic
instincts, her German fondness for thoroughness and hatred of
dilettantism, and her sense of social responsibility as the possessor of
wealth are the qualities which are made to stand out as most
representative of her.
The spirit in which her social work was done was thus described by one
of the speakers: “She and another young woman, Elizabeth Butler, who
also did immeasurably hard things and who also left us forever this
summer—they undertook so simply the things that to us of my generation
seemed a moral adventure, a wonderful undertaking,—these young women
took them in such a matter-of-fact way. It did not seem to Carola an
adventure to go into laundries any more than it did to Elizabeth Butler
to go into the depths of blackest Pittsburgh. The things were there, and
we had to know about them, and it was all matter-of-fact, just as it
would have been for an able-bodied man to go and look at things and come
back and tell the world what it bitterly needs to know about them. It
was all matter-of-fact for them, and I believe they are forerunners of
new generations of women who will insist in their youth on knowing life
as it is, on facing the world clear-eyed and changing these things which
we of my generation, in our youth, shirked and preferred not to know.”
