Because of her pioneer spirit and zest for life, HE science-minded world of today, the world in which T women are recognized on an equal status with men, can Ellen H. Richards well deserves the title- scarcely comprehend the significance of the life and deeds of Ellen H . Richards. Recognized and honored as pioneer in the field of Home Economics, Ellen H. Richards spent her life in helping others to live more efficiently and happily through the advancement of scientific work in the improvement of living conditions. A Queen The contributions of this one woman to the advancement of science seem almost unbelievable, as do her untiring efforts in furthering the academic status of her sex. Her life is of filled with accomplishments which have made her name live among those who have given their lives in service to others. Ellen Swallow was one of the first women ever to graduate Holllelllakers from college. In 1868 she left her New England home to enter Vassar, when the college had been in existence only three years. At that time there were few educational opportunities by Harriet Beyer for women; New England had no colleges for them, and the fame of Vassar was only beginning to spread. Her work at Vassar completed, Ellen Swallow determined The early Home Econom to become a professional chemist. She applied for an appren ics movement resulted in a ticeship in various firms in vain as prospective employers highly diversified program were skeptical of a woman's ability as a chemist. Defeated, she applied to be allowed to enter the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which up to that time had received no women students. After a long controversy, Ellen Swallow and the president of the Institute, who was her ally from the start, persuaded the board to allow her to enter. When she found herself admitted, she wrote to a friend, "You will know that one of my delights is to do something that no one else ever did." Her work at the Institute was a marked personal suc cess, and she commanded the respect of her allies and also those who had formerly opposed her. After her training as a student chemist, Ellen Swallow w s '"JDoh t-o d a hboratory assistant, singal evidence of the superior quality of her work. She came gradually to devote her time almost exclusively to the field of sanitary chemistry, in which she felt there was a great need. The desire which inspired all her deeds, to help others to better lives through the improvement of living conditions, found expression in this work. In 1875, Ellen Swallow married Professor Robert H. Rich ards, head of the department of mining engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and began the diffi cult task of combining homemaking with a professional career. She continued her work at the Institute; at home she applied her scientific training in her homemaking. Her housekeeping was a model of efficiency, her home a place of perfect cleanliness. And notwithstanding all of her duties, Mrs. Richards found time to entertain friends and students frequently. Her home was known throughout Bos ton for its gracious hospitality. After her marriage, Mrs. Richards undertook to fulfill a desire which had been hers for several years. Seeing the financial burden which oppressed many young women, eager for an education, she set about to help them secure assistance.
