DARTMOUTH'S GENERAL CATALOGUE, brought up to the minute in a new edition now on sale, records advanced degrees conferred upon six ladies—the first of whom, Miss Katherine M. Quint, was the only one to receive it in person at the Commencement exercises.
Miss Quint applied for admission as an advanced student in 1893, under the terms of the College Charter which said . the College has been established for the instruction of youth of the Indian tribe and also of English youth and others." Although her application was approved by President Tucker, it met with the strong opposition of none other than the girl's father, Alonzo H. Quint '46, senior member of the Board of Trustees. Giving broad interpretation to charter provisions, however, the Trustees admitted Miss Quint; she received her A.M. in 1896, and was made an honorary member of her father's class of 1846. She had previously received an A.B. from Wellesley, and studied Latin and Greek at Dartmouth.
Dartmouth's earliest co-ed now lives in Worcester, Mass., and teaches Greek at North High School. Friend of Bill Cunningham, Boston sports writer, she is an enthusiastic follower of intercollegiate sport, and is reputed to know the names of every football player in the past 20 years. D.J.
