Alma occupies only a very small part of this item. I chose to include the whole item because why not? And because nobody is forcing you to read the whole item.
2.
Dr. Cornelia Clapp, head of the department of zoology, is to be the guest of honor tomorrow of the New Haven Alumnae Association. She is to give her talk "Before the Fire," illustrated with lantern slides of the seminary.
Dr. Clapp is in the Non-family pages for both Mount Holyoke and Woods Hole because I never can decide which page she belongs in.
I don't know what the fire was in the title of her talk. I googled lantern slides, and got a Wikipedia article about magic lanterns:
The magic lantern, also known by its Latin name lanterna magica, is an early type of image projector that uses pictures—paintings, prints, or photographs—on transparent plates (usually made of glass), one or more lenses, and a light source. Because a single lens inverts an image projected through it (as in the phenomenon which inverts the image of a camera obscura), slides are inserted upside down in the magic lantern, rendering the projected image correctly oriented.
It was mostly developed in the 17th century and commonly used for entertainment purposes. It was increasingly used for education during the 19th century. Since the late 19th century, smaller versions were also mass-produced as toys. The magic lantern was in wide use from the 18th century until the mid-20th century when it was superseded by a compact version that could hold many 35 mm photographic slides: the slide projector.

I'm sure Alma enjoyed talking about evolution.
