Letters of Floretta Elmore Greeley, 1906-1922

Life in Cambridge where Floretta Elmore Greeley boarded at Professor Morrison's, 17 Farrar Street; her classes; domestic concerns: sewing, altering clothes, planning wardrobe and trimming hats; her visits to Boston, Idler dances and meeting; exchanges of family news.

Visits to Monadnock and Peterboro, in April; violent suffrage arguments at college; outline speech [December] 1907 in favor of the point system at Radcliffe which restricted the number of offices a student could hold. Without it, one student might be heaped with offices, which would be thoroughly undemocratic and prevent the sharing of responsibility. Floretta Elmore Greeley felt herself to be an example of the western spirit: anti-tradition, democratic and open.

Courses; appointed Editor of the Radcliffe Magazine; "nothing succeeds so well as our western personal touch."

Describes Dr. R.C. Cabot's offer of a job as his medical assistant; visits with Putnams, Cabots and other Boston and Cambridge families; final semester at Radcliffe; first experiences as teacher at Miss Haskell's school in Boston; courtship.

Teaching in Boston; wedding preparations; Newfoundland, 1911; Vienna and Munich, 1913; hectic family life in Milwaukee Wisconsin, 1922.
