The Wellesley Legenda y\ 51^8 Cei^epda publist^ed f^v}\)ua\\y by tt?e Senior QIass of U/ellesley <5olle<^e published by ttje QIass of '90 FRANK WOOD PRINTER 352 Washington Street BOSTON EDCTOJ^MV STAVr f .n AT^T ED] TOP- 1^' •Arid win 9 larger liberty, FrorT\ precedent to preceder\t." DEDICATED to tt^e SPIRIT OF PROGRESS by th\e CLASS OF '90 Ir\ siricere gratitude for tt\e ber\efits of receipt evolUtior\, ar\d with\ buoyar\t h\ope for th\e future of Alrria /Aater's iristitUtior\s. ^ Preface ^ INCE the publication of the precedent Legenda by '89, there has been notable increase in the collegiate spirit and enterprise of Wellesley- The development is goodly to see. Oftentimes Wellesley's intense individuality has laid her open to the charge of nar- rowness, so that it is with sincerely hearty congratulations we recognize her new departure in the broad field of college interests. Perhaps no better sign of the times can be oflered than the brief, but truly successful, history ot the reorganized societies, Phi Sigma and Zeta Alpha. A year ago they had but their names, a background of reminiscence, and a future of ideals. To-day, ^yith only the year's slight experi- ence, their influence and success are assured, and their future is even more hopeful in the promise of developing true fraternity feeling, and a fine womanhood as its upholder. Material evidence of their real prosperity may be found any da^ in Society Hall. While the Class of "90 has, without doubt, taken to itself much pride in the regeneration of the Greek-letter Societies, '91 has done the College a desirable and lasting service in empha- sizing college unity, rather than class distinction, bv the adoption of the '90 pin as a design for the College badge. Other proof of the change from individual to more general interests is not wanting. The institution of the College cheer, the organization of the College Glee and Banjo Clubs, and the hearty student support of the "Prelude" editors, mark a signal advance. In the publication of the Legexda, also, the editors have more than once been honestly gratified by the appreciative co-operation of the College at large. It has served to make the work simpler, and. we believe the result will be more enjoyable. There is evolution in the making of college publications as in all things else, and we trust we are not untlulv priding ourselves in the thought that this year's Le(;exda evidences the universal truth. Certainly there has been enough of progress within the college walls to show its character in the college annual. The novel features and the beauty of the hook will be recognized, we believe, without our comment. It is a matter of most cordial satisfaction to us, as it must be to many others, that dragons in persona are no longer a feature of the institution. To the discrimination and suc- cess of 'S9, we feel that this emancipation is in a measure due, and accordingly render our warmest thanks with whatever of annual fruit "89 may find sprung up from the lusty seed she sowed. In all sinceritv we hope that we have not violated the confidence reposed in us ; that that the we have in no wise periled to future classes the privilege we have enjoyed ; and judgment we have exercised has been at all times sound and kindly, never prudish. From many members of the Class of '90 the editors have received valued assistance. In particular we desire to recognize the work of Miss Martha Pike Conant, Z A, quondam associate editor, and the aid of Miss Charlotte E. Halsey, A. S., Miss Mabel Doolittle, and Mi.ss Sarah M.

    1AWAB BEflNQ A LIBRARY, COMPLETE AND AUTHENTBC, OF THE MEH OF IEVEM EDITED BY JOHN WILLIAM SIDDALL PUBLISHED BY HONOLULU STAR-BULLETIN, LIMITED TERRITORY OF HAWAII 1917 t -> ' 87427V T % ' - > * COPYRIGHT. 1917 HONOLULU STAR-BULLETIN, LTD. HONOLULU. HAWAII N PRESENTING "Men of Hawaii" to the public a public considerably wider than the bounds of - - the Territory its editors and publishers have a two- fold purpose. First, the book is a standard reference work, compre- hensive, complete and authoritative. It is a publication compiled with a care and a system of collecting information which in- sures its accuracy and insures also that justice is done to its subject. It is a reference volume presenting biographically pertinent facts about the men of Hawaii who lead in their respective fields. In general these fields are the business or commercial, the professional, the educational, the religious and the scientific covering all activities which in Hawaii have brought its men to the front as potent and constructive factors in their communities. Secondly, the book is a series of milestones of achieve- ments. It has been truly said that the progress of any gener- ation, of any century, of any country, of any nation may be measured by the biographies of its men. In Hawaii this is true today as in ancient Greece, medieval Rome, modern France, or England, or the mainland United States. Hawaii is a modern American community with its roots far back in the past. Here the primitive life of Polynesia has been moulded and modified by the influx of many races, bloods and languages.

  • Isabelle Stone: Breaking the Glass Ceiling with Thin Films and Teaching
    Isabelle Stone: breaking the glass ceiling with thin films and teaching Melia E. Bonomo1 Department of Physics & Astronomy, Rice University, Houston, TX Dr. Isabelle Stone is listed as one of over four thousand American Men of Science in the inaugural bibliographical directory published in 1906 [1]. The directory’s preface states that it was compiled to recognize contributions to the advancement of pure science and to acquaint the isolated scientific man with those who have common interests so that he may be encouraged to collaborate [1]. At the time of the directory’s publication, Stone was a physics professor at Vassar College for women in Poughkeepsie, NY [1]. She is not celebrated in any physics textbooks, no experiments or theories bare her name, and her research accomplishments were not Nobel-worthy. Her teaching record was also nothing extraordinary and included several positions in secondary education schools. At a time when physicists like Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, and Erwin Schrodinger were making prominent contributions to the field, Stone’s story is seemingly average and certainly not widely known. And yet, it is worth telling. Hers is the story of forging ahead in a men’s profession, having been credited as the first woman in the United States to obtain a Ph.D. in physics, one of two women founders of the American Physical Society, and one of two women to attend the first International Congress of Physics [2, 3, 4]. Hers is the story of an unmarried, educated woman doing scientific research, living and working abroad, and providing educational stepping stones for more women to go to college in the early 1900’s.
