THE THIRTIES
Faculty with President Denworth. When this photograph was taken in 1928, Bradford was still an academy for high school girls and postgraduates. Dr. Katharine Denworth, third from the left in the front row, came to Bradford in 1927 with a D.Ed. from Columbia. Faculty who can be identified include the three men: Albert Dangerfield, Frederick Johnson, and David McCloskey. In the second row are Dr. Edith Beck and Bertha Clough, third and fourth from the left, and Florence Eisenhardt Dangerfield, right.
Dr. Katharine Denworth. Denworth led Bradford from 1927 to 1939. She was a graduate of Swarthmore and had a doctorate from Columbia, the first head of Bradford to hold that degree. She was also the first to hold the title President.
During her administration, Bradford became a junior college and the preparatory program was discontinued. The curriculum was revised to focus on a liberal arts preparation toward a bachelor’s degree, or for a concentration in art, music, speech, or home economics. The tradition of no vocational courses continued. There was a liberalizing of privileges during the Denworth era, but a stiffening of etiquette, with evening dress mandatory at the president’s parties for faculty and students, evening lectures, concerts, and dances.
The Chemistry Laboratory. Until 1939, all classes were held in Academy Hall. This is the chemistry lab, which was located on the third floor West. Prof. Albert Dangerfield, shown, was at Bradford for 30 years, from 1922 to 1952. He had a bachelor’s degree from Cornell, had done graduate study at Harvard and the University of California, and was a field geologist before his Bradford days.
Dr. Wolfgang Pauli. Pauli taught biology at Bradford from 1931 to 1956. A native of the Caroline Islands in the South Pacific, he earned his degree from the University of Wurzburg, Germany. His wife, Margarete, who also had a Ph.D., assisted him in his class and laboratory. Pauli died at the home he had built in Orvieto, Italy, in 1987.
Class ‘Al Fresco.’ For decades, warm weather had brought classes out of doors. This photograph dates from the mid-1930s. The professor resembles Dr. Dale Mitchell of the English faculty. The class is seated under a large tree near Coats House Infirmary.
Registration, 1936. Seen here, from left to right, are as follows: (front row) Elizabeth Ann Fuller ’37, Carolyn Pegg ’38, and Dr. Eunice Acheson Pugh (1935–39), who was an early director of guidance, a Denworth innovation; (back row) Grace McLellan ’38 and Dr. Earl F. Roberts (1934–38), assistant to the president and registrar.
Prof. Frederick Johnson. Johnson, right, served Bradford for 33 years, from 1913 to 1946. He had a bachelor’s degree from Harvard and was a Fellow of the American Guild of Organists. During his long term, he served under four heads of the school. The Commencement Prize in Music is named for him. Johnson left to teach at Boston University. He died suddenly on Palm Sunday in 1949. He is shown in this photograph with Lucy Ann Spaulding ’40 at the Cornelia Warren Memorial Organ in the newly opened Denworth Hall. Warren, a trustee, had bequeathed $5,000 to Bradford for the organ.
Scene from the Annual Christmas Pageant. The pageant was instituted by President Denworth in 1935 and carried on until 1948. The faculty planned the program, wrote the script, painted the sets, and made the costumes. Mothers of students were invited to the first pageant and thus began Mothers’ Day, which became an annual event that continued long after the pageant ended.
The Assembly Hall. This two-story space in the center of Academy Hall has had a number of lives. It served as a study hall, classroom/lecture space, and a chapel before becoming the library in 1939. The portraits, meant to inspire the students, were primarily of trustees, benefactors, and a few of the earlier principals of the school.
Greenleaf House. Originally, four students were assigned to each three-room suite in Academy Hall. When Principal Laura Knott decreed that the spaces be limited to two girls per suite, additional space for residents was found by renting rooms in nearby houses. Greenleaf House, on Kingsbury Avenue, was acquired as a permanent addition to the campus in 1933 because of a sudden increase in applicants. It was first used for faculty who had been living in Academy Hall. Greenleaf became a senior house in 1936. It is shown here with its 1950s addition, an 8-room wing for 16 students.
Hasseltine Hall Construction, 1939. For 70 years, Academy Hall had served as a residence, a schoolroom, a dining room, and offices. By 1938, there was no more room for students and the classrooms were outmoded. Despite the Depression, Dr. Denworth had paid off all debt and saved enough funds for new buildings. The first plan called for a single building at the rear of the campus. Dissatisfied, the architect, Edwin S. Dodge, proposed a new plan: two harmonious buildings in front of Academy Hall. Alumnae were outraged at the loss of the great front lawn, but the plan was approved. Hasseltine Hall, named for Principal Abby Hasseltine, was erected between November 1938 and the opening of school in September 1939. It housed classrooms and laboratories. Denworth Hall, the companion building, was opened the following spring.
