Miss Leggett at Harvard First Woman Admitted to Divinity School
The Algona Monday Club reports Rev Mary L Leggett now a divinity student at Harvard University as the first woman admitted to that course. The Boston Herald notes her seven year effort began with appeals for the History of Church Doctrines and homiletics. Harvard faculty formal admission came after a university formalities vote, with Radcliffe College access limited by department. Leggett, daughter of a Baptist minister, has worked in Topeka Beatrice Green Harbor and Dighton Mass guiding parish duties while pursuing studies. She was recently elected to the Harvard Divinity School in a move that acknowledges her long pursuit of theological training.
