Final part to my LNY series: groundbreaking Chinese-American physicist Dr. Chien-Shiung Wu (吳健雄). In her impressively long portfolio, her work falsifying the law of parity was one of the most influential and consequential in the 20th century. She is also known as “The First Lady of Physics” and the “Queen of Nuclear Physics.”
.
I know LNY ended last week but Women’s History Month began today so let’s pretend this was all intentional.

At the conclusion of the @mtholyoke Laurel Parade a song is always sung at founder Mary Lyon’s grave, though the song of choice has varied through time.
In the early days it was often a song written by a class member or one of the College songs.
The Class of 1978 decided to sing “Bread and Roses,” a song adapted by Mimi Farina from a poem written by James Oppenheim, which is said to have been a slogan for women during a 1912 textile mill strike in Lawrence, Massachusetts. Singing “Bread and Roses” has remained part of the Laurel Parade tradition to this day, and the words will ring out again this coming Saturday morning!
Pictured here are @mhcalums members of the Class of 1978 in their Laurel Parade, holding a banner with the words “The common woman is as common as a common loaf of bread and will rise.”

This week we’re sharing @mtholyoke Laurel Parade history in advance of Saturday’s 2018 Laurel Parade activities. And, if you’re on campus, you can come over to Dwight Hall and see the Laurel Parade exhibit curated by student assistant Samantha Snodgrass, Class of 2018. Now on to the history…
There have been several years when students did not carry laurel. In 1923 and 1924, mountain laurel became scarce and could not be picked. In 1925, laurel returned to the ceremony but was bought from a florist. In 1970 and 1971, students chose to carry signs protesting the Vietnam War rather than a laurel chain.
Pictured here are Class of 1924 students holding ribbon instead of laurel due to a need for laurel conservation in Massachusetts, and seniors in the Class of 1970 holding Peace signs.

Book of the Week - Did you enjoy last week’s featured publication, the “1915 Mode?” Then you’ll love “Art Gout Beaute.” This fashion magazine is filled with gorgeous drawings of and commentary on the most au courant fashion trends of its day from the heights of the 1920’s flapper era to more conservative early 1930’s trends. The State Library has digitized several issues of this very fun magazine and made them available for free on Internet Archive. If you love vintage fashion or women’s history, they are definitely worth a look.
