Economics in the State University, and but few, if any, are contributing to the
progress and welfare of those about them to the same extent as this emi-

» who even after being stricken with blindness in middle life, retained to an
unusual degree an interest in everything pertaining to the advancement of

English and the languages at Kentucky University, following which she took
M the degree of Master of Science at the State University. Upon the completion
. of l1er postgraduate studies in chemistry in the State University, she pursued '
postgraduate studies in home economics and physiological chemistry at Columbia
University, graduating from this last named institution in 1912 with the degree
of Master of Arts. For five years, she taught chemistry and physics in Camp-
