Alma sounds like a silly, sweet, clueless female in this item. I'll bet there were lots of girls smoking at Mount Holyoke, and I'll bet she knew it, but she knew how to answer the question without telling a lie.

Mt. Holyoke Cigaretteless
Dr. Stokey Says She Never Smelled Tobacco in College.
Smoking is not a "burning question" at Mt. Holyoke College, however much it agitates the heads of some other women's colleges.
Dr. Alma G. Stokey, head of the botany department of Mt. Holyoke, the guest of honor yesterday at a reception given by the Mt. Holyoke Club of New York at the Hotel Astor, said:
"I never saw a girl smoking at Mt. Holyoke, nor did I ever smell cigarette smoke in the dormitories."
She said that since the war, the spare time which the girls had devoted to bandage making and knitting, was spent now in outdoor sports, with special emphasis on the "Outing Club," which arranges hikes, mountain climbs and bird hunts.

My eyes roll at how the news of the item - i.e. that Alma was the guest of honor at a reception - gets mangled into being just a modifier, so that the newspaper can move on to what's really interesting them: women smoking.

About women and smoking, Wikipedia says:
The cigarette industry began a propaganda campaign geared toward women beginning in the 1920s in the United States. These campaigns became more aggressive as time has progressed and marketing in general became more prominent.
