No. 1. @fumnae <ii'epartment. SOME WOMEN WE WANT TO KNO"·. ANNE REESE PUGH. AnIle Reese Pugh is a North Carolinian by birth, but she was brought to Kansas at such an early age that one is justified iu claim. ill); her as a Kansas woman. Her father, Dr. Pugh, was a man of 1l11lloU,tl ability and attainments, and Miss Pugh received the benefit of his intelligent guidance in her early education. Her old friends remember her as an extremely silent child, delicate in h~alth, con­ fiding in and companioning chiefly with her cat. Strangely enough her taste Jor hooks and study did not reveal itself early. But per­ haps these da),:; of silent childish contemplation were more con­ ducive to originality than the usual quick recourse to books and the though ts of others. At sixteell, Miss Pugb entered the Kansas State University. The expenses of her college edncation had to be defrayerl chieHy by ber own efforts. This necessitated frequent intervals of school. teaching, and delayed her graduatiou for several years. The philo­ sophical patience and apparent sense of leisure with which she accepted these delays were al ways a eource of surprise to her friends. She had nOlle of the nervous haste and restlessness which usually mark the western young man or woman. Either her ambition was not yet roused, or she saw with long and wise visiou the advantage of the,e delays. \Vhen she finally returned to complete her course t , THE ARROW . • in the University her work showed a maturity ani! seriousness rarely ,I found in an undergraduate. '1 She had become a mem bel' of Pi Beta Phi in tbe early part of her college life, and was always regarded with immense pride and affection, mingled with some awe, by her fraternity sisters. I am sure that lIiiss Pllgh did not try to inspir~ awe, but her very sim. plicity was impressive. She has the rare gift of keeping silent when she has nothing to say, and of speaking when she has, in a voice, " ever soft and low," -both excellent things in women, and one of them unusual. She secured the Bachelor's degree from the University ill 1891, and was also elected to Phi Beta Kappa. Her next year was spent· in study at R"dcliffe College, then still under the name and consti. tution of the "Haryard Annex." Here she began the special work in the French language and literatnre which has SO deeply engrossed her since. Not content with 111(\ f',,"wwhat restricted privileges which Harvard then gave to young ,,'011](>1l, she sought in '92 a broader field of stndy in Pal'is-. There, too, she found her sex a disadyan­ tage, alld it was with some difficulty that she ohtained entrance to the most desirable classe3. In the spring of '93 she left Paris and pursued her studies at Zurich. If she had re'mained there a month longer, and had com· plied with the formalities demanded by the anthorities, ~he llIight. have received her doctorate. "'ith her usual disdain of titles, how. ever, she refused to do so, and spent the latter part of the summer· in Italy, studying Italian. In the fall of '!)3, she received the Boston foreign fellowship and was thus enabled to spend another year abroad. I{eturuing to· Paris she was gratified to receive invitations from the very men who had admitted her so un willingly to their classes the year hefore,. urging her to re·enter. Miss Pugh was elected last ,pring ·to a position as head of the department of Romance languages, and instructor in F~ench, in· Wellesley Collcge. A \\'ellci;ley graduate assures me that it has. THE ARROW. 3 1,,,,," the ellst.om in Wellesley to employ only native French teach­ erH. The exception made in Miss Pugh's favor is certainly a most "OIliplilllelllary assurance of faith in her attainments. The writer regrets that she is able to give only so scanty an ont­ I illc "I' Miss Pugh's work.
