HOLYOKE ME
MJUS1EES
Appointees of Dr. Ham as
First Male President to
Get New Material.
BT the Associated Press.
SOUTH HADLEY. Mass., March 5.—
The wooded campus of Mount Holyoke,
century-old women’s college, became a
storm center today as a determined
group of alumnae brought demands
for resignation of trustees who ap
pointed Dr. Boswell O. Ham of Yale
as the college’s first male president.
Dr. Ham has been named to succeed
Dr. Mary E. Woolley, who will retire
In June.
Miss Caroline D. Smiley of Boston,
a leader of the fight against Dr. Ham's
appointment, promised to place be
fore the trustees at their meeting to
day important "new material” which
she said she hoped would "break the
controversy wide open.”
If the trustees failed to resign, she
said, the “new material” would be
placed before the Alumnae Associa
tion Council and made public.
The trustees were expected to con
clude their meeting today, but meet
ings of the Alumnae Council will con
tinue tomorrow.
Allied with Miss Smiley was Miss
Amy Rowland of Cleveland, Ohio. To
gether they circulated a broadside
charging the committee of nine trus
tees who selected Dr. Ham was
"packed” with three members attached
to Yale and others known to oppose
naming a woman to succeed Dr. Wool
ley. They also charged the nomination
was "railroaded” through the full
board.
Other members of a "Committee of
100” opposed to Dr. Ham’s appoint
ment included Mrs. Elizabeth P. Wyc
kofl of New York, chairman of the
Mount Holyoke 9100,000 centennial
fund; Miss Althea Puffer of Water -
bury. Conn., and Miss Mary Avery of
Norwich, Conn.
Miss Smiley several times charged
women were changing wills which
would have benefited Mount H^',-^’te
because of their objection to abandon
ing a tradition which never saw a man
as president of the college. I
