The college library bears the name of Martha Stackhouse Grafton, dean
emerita of the college and professor emerita of sociology, who served Mary
Baldwin for more than 40 years. A graduate of Agnes Scott College, she
came to Mary Baldwin in 1930 as assistant dean of students. She was
later a member of the sociology faculty and held the posts of registrar,
dean of the college, and acting president (three times). In 1989, Mary
Baldwin College gave her its highest honor, the doctor of humane letters.
In 1992, the Presbyterian Church (USA) presented her its Higher Education
Award, recognizing her as a “model of service to women’s education.” |
