A Forgotten yet Famous Alum: Marion Blake
Marion E. Blake, 1913
(ASCMHC, Marion Blake Papers)
The fiftieth anniversary of Marion Blake’s death (on the first of September 2011) passed without notice at Mount Holyoke College, which is perhaps not surprising, given how few traces she left of the years she spent there, first as a student and later, after she completed her graduate work at Cornell University, as a faculty member of the Department of Greek. The college’s archives, however, preserves the richest resource of this famous archaeologist’s life, including about a dozen folders of correspondence, articles, and other writings, as well as photographs, covering the years 1918-1964.
