Melva Mae Radcliffe

She was my favorite teacher! So patient and kind.

Ms. Cadmus was and always will be an important figure in my life. She had the patience of a saint and always praised her students. She wrote such loving notes on my report cards which inspired me to do better.

Been thru elementary, high school, college, master´s and PhD. The extraordinary Miss Cadmus shall now and forever remain my favorite. It remains an honor to have been in her presence. There was (is) just something about that woman

I´ll always remember my special teacher who was so encouraging and loving. She was the best and will always have a special place in my heart. Debbie Fruit Kumpf

Aw, she was my favorite teacher ever! I am so happy to have known her.

Thinking of Ms. Cadmus and remembering what a wonderful teacher she was. The best! She gifted me a beautiful turquoise bracelet when I was in the 3rd grade and called me her angel. I´ll never forget her.

Best teacher ever! Rest in peace.

In April this year I ordered a commemorative brick to be installed at William Paterson Univ. It will read "Melva Cadmus Radcliffe 1919 & 1951 " The dates of her two alum years. She still is celebrated by many.

Me. Cadmus Radcliffe made my school days interesting especially in Art class where she taught us how to make angels from household items. A lovely and caring teacher who I will always remember. An angel to me...
