It surprises me that Alma was able to work on her University of Chicago PhD while living in Oberlin, but maybe someday I'll understand it better.

OBERLIN COLLEGE
ANNUAL REPORTS
OF THE PRESIDENT AND THE TREASURER OF OBERLIN COLLEGE FOR 1904-05
PRESENTED TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AT THE ANNUAL MEETING, NOVEMBER 22, 1905
Oberlin, Ohio.
Published by the College
December 1, 1905
[Starting from the middle of page 57]
Promotions
The following well-deserved promotions were made by the Trustees at the semi-annual meeting, June 26, 1905:
College
Lynds Jones, Ph.D., from Instructor in Zoölogy and Assistant Curator of the Museum, to Associate Professor of Zoölogy and Assistant Curator of the Museum.
Edward Alanson Miller, A.B., as Dean of College Men and permanent Professor of Pedagogy.
Louis Eleazer Lord, A.M., as permanent Instructor in Latin and Greek.
Thomas Maynard Taylor, Ph.D., as permanent Instructor in Chemistry.
Russell Parsons Jameson, Ph. B., from Tutor in Declamation to Instructor in French and Instructor in Physical Training, for one year.
James Seymour Luckey, A.M., from Teacher of Mathematics and Assistant in Physics Laboratory, to Instructor in Mathematics and Physics, for one year.
Miss Flora Isabel Wolcott, L.B., from Assistant Registrar to Registrar, Professor Charles Henry Adams Wager to serve as Advisory Officer.
Miss Alma Gracey Stokey, from Assistant in the Botanical Laboratory to Herbarium Assistant, for one year.
Academy
Charles Hulburd Burr, A.B., from Assistant in the Physical Laboratory to Tutor in Physics, for one year.
Clark Harold Sackett, A.B., from Assistant in Botany to Tutor in Botany and Zoölogy, for one year.
The College is fortunate in having in Dr. Jones one who can take up with so little break the work of Professor Wright for the present year. The permanent appointment of Mr. Miller implies, of course, the adoption of that feature of the organization of the work of the College which provides for a Dean of College Men. The permanent appointments of Mr. Lord and Mr. Taylor were recommended by the Council with peculiar satisfaction. Mr. Jameson's appointment as Instructor in French means that the election in French is so large as to demand an increase in the number of elementary courses in that language. Mr. Jameson had also had special preparation for the work in physical training, and will be able to take up with entire satisfaction that part of the work given up by Mr. Edwin Fauver. Miss Stokey's appointment is made, in the language of Professor Grover, "to meet a temporary but very urgent need to take care of recent gifts and to make exchanges with colleges and museums that have asked for them", and to bring into better order the duplicates and unworked material which became badly disarranged in the removal to the Lincoln House. Miss Stokey is admirably fitted for this work. Mr. Burr and Mr. Sackett have been specially prepared for their respective tasks in the Academy by assistants' work in the same departments in the College.

Clark Harold Sackett, A.B., from Assistant in Botany to Tutor in Botany and Zoölogy, for one year.
Alma worked with Mr. Sackett and liked him. The nice thing about this excerpt is that it gives his full name so that I can find out more about him. I've put him in the Non-Family page for Ohio folks.

I think there's more about this in a a letter or two from the fall of 1905 that I have yet to upload.
