1.
Here's what's going on with Alma:
It looks as though Mount Holyoke College (at least at this time) had no position of assistant professor in between instructor and associate professor.
2.
Miss Mildred Blodgett, a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1907, who has since been teaching in a private school in Boston, has been appointed instructor and laboratory assistant in the department of geology.
A female member of MIT's Class of 1907! Naturally I looked her up, and found a biographical sketch of Mildred Blodget 1883-1967: She was active in women's suffrage movement. She later became a nun, but maintained her interest in geology.
3.
Dr. Edith H. Hall, instructor in classical archaeology. [...]Dr. Hall, explorations in Crete;
Ooh, archeology in Crete. Mount Holyoke has a page for Dr. Hall:
Here's what's going on with Alma:
- Mary E. Kennedy, associate professor of botany, is leaving to get married.
- Alma is being moved up from instructor to associate professor of botany.
- Alma's good friend Anna Starr is hired as an instructor of botany.
