Hinsdale, Mary L.

Overview

Established in 1946 through gifts from the Mary Markley Board, friends, and former students, this scholarship honors Dr. Mary Louisa Hinsdale, who was known for her distinguished mind, warm heart, and flashing humor. Dr. Hinsdale frequently attended League of Nations meetings in Switzerland and traveled to Poland in 1937 to participate in the first meeting of the International Association of University Women. As a member of the American Educational Commission, she was invited by the Russian Minister of Education to inspect Russian schools, and she passed her living interest in governmental affairs and world history on to her pupils.
