Ask Adonijah CELEBRATING THE BEGINNING OF IOWA STATE BY IOWA STATE Editor’s note: “Ask Adonijah” is a contributed piece from UNIVERSITY LIBRARY the Iowa State University Library Special Collections and SPECIAL COLLECTIONS University Archives. The piece is named after Adonijah AND UNIVERSITY Welch, who was Iowa State’s first president, and seeks to ARCHIVES STAFF answer community members’ questions about the history of Iowa State. Have a question? Let us know by emailing [email protected].

Dear Adonijah: Who was Iowa State’s first female Ph.D. graduate? With spring commencement fast approaching, this first question seems very appropriate. Madison asks, “Who was the first female to receive a Ph.D. from Iowa State?” If one has lived in Ames for any length of time then the name Ada Hayden should be familiar, due to the large recreation area on the north edge of town that bears her name. Ada Hayden was the first female to earn a doctorate from Iowa State, and only the fourth student overall, having received her advanced degree in botany exactly 100 years ago this year. Born in rural Ames, she came to Iowa State for her undergraduate education and then earned a master’s degree in botany from Washington University in St. Louis. She returned to her hometown to continue her studies and became an instructor of botany at Iowa State. Dr. Hayden was named Assistant Professor in 1920 and spent a long career teaching botany and researching Iowa’s native plants. During her career, she added thousands of plant specimens to the campus herbarium. She was particularly interested in Iowa’s prairie ecology and was an important figure in early prairie preservation efforts in the state. Dr. Hayden did not receive much public recognition for her work during her lifetime and, for reasons we can now only speculate on, she was never promoted beyond Assistant Professor during her long career at this school. As her contributions became more widely known and respected, COURTESY OF IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY SPECIAL COLLECTIONS AND UNIVERSITY so, too, did the posthumous honors.

You get the chance to step in front of millions of viewers and represent the United States, but for only 17 days.
