Kate Sanborn, July 11, 1839 - July 9, 1917

by EDWIN W. SANBORN 78.

A small volume, privately printed during the past summer, entitled "Kate Sanborn" and prepared by Edwin W. Sanborn, Miss Sanborn's brother, will be of special interest to the older Dartmouth alumni, for it is an account not only of a unique and interesting personality, well known to them, but of the life of Hanover fifty years and more ago. The students of that period remember Kate Sanborn, first as Professor Sanborn's daughter, then as a vivacious woman and as a humorous and effective writer. They will read with interest the vivid picture of the then life of the College, of the ancestry of Miss Sanborn and of the conditions under which she developed, and they will recall Professor Sanborn's stalwart frame, vigorous mind and stimulating mode of instruction.

Mr. Sanborn has told in effective phrase how, at a time and under conditions not favorable to the advancement of women, "Kate Sanborn made her way by her writing and public lectures until her name and fame were known to all. By testimony from many sources her pleasing characteristics, her humor and her success as a writer are made evident, and as one reads the account of her ancestry and of her own arduous and successful literary efforts he does not doubt her ability or the fact that, as was said of another, she came of a family that was "troubled with brains."
