Summary:
This series consists of personal material from the alumnae, faculty, and administration of the Boston-Bouvé College. There are also materials from corporation member Ethel Perrin. Scrapbooks, notebooks, correspondence, notes from classes, photographs and clippings document these women's lives before, during, and after they were a part of Boston-Bouvé College.
Evlyth Walen was one of several women from the Boston-Bouvé College who traveled to Japan in the 1930s to help open a school of physical education modeled after the Boston-Bouvé College. Her photo albums show students at the school and camp. Series 2 (Box 8) contains more information about this school and other photographs are in Series 8 (Box 91). Correspondence received by Dr. Katherine Andrews regarding her long-time partner Ruth Sweet is primarily about Sweet's illness and eventual death in 1958. A two-volume scrapbook assembled by alumnae pays tribute to alumna, faculty member, and professional dancer Pauline Chellis.
