The Llamarat a IN MEMORIAM We have here to record the death at Atlantic City, March 16, 1908, of Mrs. Mary Lyon Dame Hall, alumnae trustee since 1905. After her graduation at Mount Holyoke in 1870, she taught for some years in Oaho College, Honolulu, and later was married to Hon. E. O. Hall. Since her husband’s death Mrs. Hall has resided in New York and Detroit. She served several terms as president of Sorosis and was made president of the Michigan Mount Holyoke Alumnae Association. In this latter position and as trustee, Mrs. Hall proved herself devoted to the highest interests of the college, a generous giver and a wise friend. A feeling of personal loss must remain with those who have met her as a guest in the college halls and have felt the charm of her gracious presence. Among Mrs. Hall’s gifts to Mount Holyoke may be named the Mary Lyon Dame Hall Scholarship, established here in 1891, together with the recent bequest of $ I 0,000 toward the general endowment fund. Mrs. Hall also gave timely help in adding to the collections in Dwight Art Building. 9

The Lla-roara-tia Department of Greek Greek was first offered at Mount Holyoke Seminary in 1871-1872, with Miss Martha Bradford as instructor. A regular four-years’ course, outlined in the catalogue of 1874- 1875, remained substantially unchanged for twenty-three years. 1 his might not be substituted for any part of the required cur- riculum, but its completion entitled a graduate to a supplemen- tary certificate. Greek was required for the classical course from 1889 until 1902, when the degree of Bachelor of Arts was given for all courses. There have been two instructors in the department since 1889. From the same year, the Alumnae Association of Mount Holyoke College has contributed to the support of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, and for several years the college has been represented on the board of management of that institution. y MISS WILLIAMS Mary Gilmore Williams, Ph.D., Professor Mount Holyoke; Ph.D., University of Michigan; American School of Classical Studies, Rome; Member of the Archaeological Institute of America, of the American Philological As- sociation, of the New England Association of Colleges and Preparatory Schools, and of the New England Classical Association; Instructor in Latin at Kirkwood Seminary, Missouri; In- structor in Latin at Lake Erie College; Elisha Jones Fellow in Classical Philology at Univer- sity of Michigan, 1895-1897; Fellow of Association of Collegiate Alumnae, 1897-1898. 189 Cedar Street, Corning, New York.
