Charles E. Putney Memorial Association

The Charles E. Putney Memorial Association is credited with publishing Charles Edward Putney: An Appreciation, a commemorative book devoted to the life and influence of educator Charles Edward Putney. From the available records, it appears to have been formed specifically to organize and support that tribute.

The book’s foreword describes the memorial project as the idea of one of Putney’s former pupils, Caroline S. Woodruff, and says an organization known as "The Charles E. Putney Memorial" was established to arrange for publication. That gives the association a warm, collective identity: less a conventional author than a group of admirers preserving the memory of a teacher they clearly respected.

Because reliable biographical information about the association itself is limited, not much more can be confirmed with confidence. What does come through clearly is its purpose — to gather appreciation, remembrance, and gratitude into a published memorial.
