FSMC women and their guests enjoyed spending time at the farm--walking the gardens, riding horses, cooking, baking, and celebrating Mather milestones. Although we do not know what milestone this cake celebrated, students often referred to the social space at the Farm as the "Pink Pig". plain 2023-03-16T19:08:35+00:00

Hadyn Hall, dedicated in 1902, was initially a residence ; however, in the mid 1910's, it became the first FSMC student center. Take note of the early telephone. plain 2023-03-16T18:19:45+00:00
• 1 2023-05-31T17:17:31+00:00 Basketball and scores 3 The champions photographed, we believe, are the class of 1900 (the Junior class listed below). See the scores among the Mather classes. A note about scoring, according to the Dr. James Naismith Original 13 rules of basketball (from 1892), shots were 1 point each. However, in 1896, Dr. Naismith amended the rules to include a successful foul shot, worth one point, and successful field goals worth 2 points. Assuming that women played by the same rules as men, some of the game outcomes have high scores. Additionally, we believe the yearbooks were published a full academic year after the prior graduating class. This may account for the senior class (class of 1899) not being in the basketball yearbook photographs. plain 2023-05-31T18:45:54+00:00

• 1 2023-05-31T20:27:55+00:00 The Ascent of F-6 (Playbill) 2 Professor Eleanor Thomas, Department of English FSMC, wrote the description of the Play. This description was located in the playbill. In part it reads: "The Ascent of F-6 is more than the drama of intrepid mountain climbers: it is an ironic interpretation of the motives of men and of the leaders of men, a satiric presentation of a hypocritical society. The mountain must be ascended to satisfy the practical politician, who hopes to avoid force in strengthening the Empire; the wealthy newspaper publisher, who wishes to increase sales by a sensational scoop; the patriotic sentimentalist, who exults in a new proof of English course and persistence; and lastly, the little people--Mr. and Mrs. A.--who find in another's adventure escape from a dreary life in which nothing matters." plain 2023-05-31T20:28:46+00:00
