Happy Birthday Mary Lyon!

PAR-TAY in the Archives this coming Friday to celebrate Mary Lyon’s birthday! Please join us in the basement of Dwight Hall if you’re on campus.
Today the "Hidden Lives" women's history class gets to participate in a beloved MHC Archives activity... buttonmaking!! Here are the cool new designs they get to choose from.
Hand knits in the Archives! These wool stockings were knit by Fidelia Fiske, Class of 1842, from wool spun by Mount Holyoke founder Mary Lyon. The wool is incredibly fine -- almost like sewing thread -- and those long double pointed needles look like quite a challenge to work with. But certainly nothing was impossible for this knitter who went on to found a school based on the Mount Holyoke model in Persia (present-day Iran) in 1843.
nobody understands what we go through at moho. literally nobody. if you think your school is crazy with its work load, times that by 50 and you'll be close to what we go through. literally. going. to. shoot. myself.
