Softcover. Condition: Fair. No Dust Jacket. On offer is the diary of a woman ahead of her time, who spent her life in academia, advocating for women's education through her roles as professor of Greek, and later Dean of Residence at Wellesley College. Edith Souther Tufts (1862-1935) was born in Dover, New Hampshire to Dr. Charle…s Augustus Tufts (1821-1899) and Anne Blanchard Souther (1827-1907). Dr. Tufts was well-known in Dover as a pharmacist, physician, councilman, alderman, town clerk, associate judge and senator. He ran the family apothecary shop, which had been opened by his father, Asa Alfred Tufts in 1815, and was one of the oldest apothecary shops in the country. Edith completed a five-year B. A. In Music from Wellesley College in 1885, a M. A. From Yale in 1895 and was granted an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from the University of New Hampshire in 1927. She taught Greek at Wellesley College and then at the Norwich Free Academy. In 1902 she returned to Wellesley where she remained for the duration of her career. Tufts was named Dean of Residence at Wellesley in 1919 and held that position until her retirement in 1930. She was a trustee of the University of New Hampshire. She passed away suddenly while attending a Wellesley class of 1884 reunion. At the time of her death, Tufts was staying at the President's House with her dear lifelong friend and Wellesley president, Ellen Fitz Pendleton (1864-1936). Edith writes of Pendleton regularly, referring to her mostly as "E. F. P. " in her diary. While Tufts was never married and had no children, she clearly had extremely fulfilling and loving female friendships. Edith's diary is rich with details of her working life, social life and summer travel and activities, such as the trip to Europe in Summer 1924, which involved Pendleton. Though she is 62-years-old when she begins her diary, Edith is an incredibly busy and sought-after academic, balancing her work as professor and dean with her speaking engagements and event commitments. She also notes the goings-on of other faculty members and administrators. While Tufts is a successful and well-respected professional, she remains humble. For example, she was granted an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from University of New Hampshire on June 20, 1927. Her diary entry for the day makes it seem like she simply took an unremarkable day trip back home: "Drove by motor for Durham at 7am. Lake Minnieto Dover and bring Sandy and Marion back. Meet J. A. T and G. Sawyer. Interesting exercise. Address by C. R. Browne [Charles Reynolds Browne, Dean of the Yale Divinity School]. Lunch with J. A. T and E. C. S. Reach [Wellesley] in time for dinner" [June 20, 1927]. Edith's writing varies by day. Some days she writes detailed, newsy entries, some days she skips altogether, and some days she makes cursory notes with only the highlights. Most days she is engaging in activities connected to Wellesley's academics, recruitment, or housing and building operations. Some excerpts give the flavour of her writing: ".Take train to Leamington. Change at Stratford. Reach L. Between 5 to 6. E. F. P. Already there. ABM arrives shortlyRoom with E. F. P. " [Aug 5,1924]. "Village after breakfast to talk about room for French instructors. Office hours. Call from Pauline Hayes. Keep her to lunch with group of contemporary alumnae. Call at Calflin. Busy afternoon. Evening in rooms" [Sept 17, 1924]. "Lunch for Wellesley Teachers Association. 730 Sophomore Prom" [Nov 15, 1924]. "Speak in N. Y. At school for Ethical Culture. Entertained at dinner by Mrs. Weinberg" [Feb 9, 1925]. [Note: The Brooklyn Eagle reported on Tufts' speech to the Manhattan PTA of the Ethical Culture School. She stated that college girls have an "exaggerated sense of individualityand the lack of a true sense of community responsibility"]. "Tea for parents at President's House. Appointment for freshmen in evening at Billings Hall. E. F. P. And E. Smith make excellent speeches. Conference [about] registration slips. [Belle] Wardwell, [Ma.
