I strongly hold that retiring numbers should be for actions executed on the field but in this case I appreciate this decision and find great dignity in this move. Once again I take great pride in being a part of The University community. Women's place at Jefferson's University have come along way since 1970. Rest in peace young Yeardley. I also commend the post-humous conference of her degree.
