1.
Dr. Allyn to Attend Inter. Science Congress in Norway
Wikipedia says:
Harriett M. Allyn (4 May 1883 – 7 July 1957) was an American zoologist, anthropologist, and college administrator. She was the first academic dean of Mount Holyoke College, appointed in 1929.
and:
In 1936, Allyn was the only US woman delegate to meetings of the International Congress of Prehistoric and Protohistoric Sciences in Oslo, Norway, selected by the State Department

2.
During part of her travels she will be accompanied by Dr. Martha Hackett, an associate member of the Congress who has also taught at Mt. Holyoke.
I guess Dean Allyn was a delegate but Dr. Hackett was there in a lesser capacity.

3.
Prof. Alma G. Stokey, chairman of the department of botany, who will also be on leave of abesnce next year, will teach botany as a visiting professor at the Women's Christian college in Madras, India.  From 1929 to 1931 Dr. Stokey taught at this school, which is affiliated with Mt. Holyoke.
This is Alma's part of the article.  This section of the newspaper got the information right, unlike the society page - see:
4.
Prof. Ellen D. Ellis of the department of history and political science will spend next year at the Geneva College for Women where she will serve as a visiting professor on the teaching faculty in an advisory capacity to the administration.
As usual, I love reading about Professor Ellis, even though there's no indication that she was any particular friend of Alma's.  She led such an interesting life!  See the Non-Family page for South Hadley folks for more.
