L. Ruth Murray Klein
(1910-1998)
Dr. L. Ruth Murray Klein, former principal of the Philadelphia High School for Girls and a Distinguished Daughter of Pennsylvania, died of pneumonia in Chestnut Hill Hospital. Friends and colleagues called her 'Patsy.' She was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, class of 1931 where she also earned a master's degree and Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy) in English. Her distinguished career with the School District of Philadelphia spanned 41 years. Students and faculty members praised her as a talented and inspiring teacher and an energetic and effective leader. She taught English - her special love was Shakespeare - at South Philadelphia High School for Boys, Olney and Germantown, where she also delighted in directing plays, including favorites such as, 'The Man who Came to Dinner.' Her administrative success began as vice principal of John Bartram High. Five years later she became principal of the William T. Tilden Junior High School. In the meantime, she became the first woman to receive the Alumni Award of Merit from the University of Pennsylvania and in 1960, President Eisenhower invited her to Washington, D.C. to participate in the meetings of the Golden Anniversary White House Conference on Children and Youth. She had served as national president of the University of Pennsylvania's Association of Alumnae and as vice president of the University of Pennsylvania General Alumni Association. She was also president of the Philadelphia Branch of the American Association of University Women and Phi Beta Kappa. Her involvement in community affairs and promoting brotherly love earned her the Award of the Chapel of the Four Chaplains. In addition to her successful career and public service, Dr. Klein enjoyed a fulfilling family life. Her marriage of 20 years ended with the death of her husband, Randolph S. Klein, a Wharton graduate and Philadelphia lawyer, when she was 44. From then on she supported herself and her two young children (aged 9 and 12 at the time she became a widow). Although today she would be described as a 'single mother,' she greatly appreciated the help and loving support of her parents who lived with her in the Klein family house on Lincoln Drive in Mt. Airy. The natural culmination of the career of this successful woman came with her appointment as principal of Girl's High, one of the first educational institutions for women established in the United States and the nation's oldest municipallysupported institution for providing secondary education for women. Although a graduate of Frankford High School, this bright, well-educated, articulate, confident and compassionate woman and leader personified 'a Girl's High girl.' From 1963 to 1976 she was the principal of the school which received awards and recognition as one of the finest academic high schools in the country. Virtually all graduates went on to college - a large percent of them to The Seven Sisters and other highly selective colleges and universities. She took great pride in the school, its students, faculty, and everyone associated with it. 'Dr. Klein,' as many called her, endeared herself to students because she took a personal interest in them. Many years after graduation, when students from Olney, Germantown, Bartram, Tilden and Girl's High met her, they marveled at how she recalled names and details about activities they engaged in as students. She also recounted stories about them and their classmates 5, 10, 20, even 50 or more years after the episodes occurred. During her tenure as principal, she also personally signed every diploma awarded by Girl's High, despite offers of manual or mechanical help. Ceremony and a personal touch were important. Although she considered herself a lady, not a feminist, this pioneer became an inspirational model for many who achieved advances for women. Her own example of being the first woman to accomplish many things made it easier for others. She was a strong and persuasive advocate for the particular benefits of educational institutions for women. They provided opportunities for young women to engage in leadership roles, exercise their intellect to its fullest, and positive experiences so often denied them in coeducational settings and in society. This experience built and nurtured confidence that made them able to compete effectively with men and excel in areas, such as science and politics, where few women had gone before. As an eminent American educator, she was part of delegations to educational institutions in India and China. Her visit to The Peoples Republic of China was among the first by Americans following negotiations that established diplomatic relations between that country and the United States. After she retired as principal, she became chairman of the board and president of the Please Touch Museum. She helped shape that institution during its formative stage and was president when it moved into its new, greatly expanded facility. Her love of small children remained constant throughout life. For 49 years she taught the youngest children at the Oak Lane Presbyterian Church. For several years she also read stories to children at a Germantown Get-Set Center. She received an Outstanding Volunteer Award for this from the City of Philadelphia. This lifetime-member of the Oak Lane church, also served as chairman of its board of trustees. In 1983, Governor Thornburgh named her a Distinguished Daughter of Pennsylvania in ceremonies at the Governor's Mansion in Harrisburg. L. Ruth Murray Klein, the daughter of Robert A. and Laura M. Murray was born February 14, 1910 in Philadelphia and died of pneumonia on June 4, 1998 at Chestnut Hill Hospital. She is survived by her son, Dr. Randolph S. Klein and his wife, Maryann of Havertown, Pa. and her daughter, Linda K. Jennings and her husband, Walter of West Mt. Airy in Philadelphia. She had four grandchildren, Pamela J. and Laura S. Klein and Jennifer L. and Laura E. Jennings. A memorial service will occur on June 14 at 4 p.m. in the Oak Lane Presbyterian Church, 11th and Oak Lane, Philadelphia. The burial will be private. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to The Please Touch Museum, 210 N. 21st Street, Philadelphia, Pa. 19103 or Girl's High, Broad and Olney, Philadelphia, Pa. 19141.
