Emily Dickinson at Mount Holyoke

Abstract

IN a thin pamphlet entitled Eleventh Annual Catalogue of the Mount Holyoke Female Seminary in South Hadley, Massachusetts, 1847-1848, are two notable names. Heading the list of teachers stands, in black capitals, Miss Mary Lyon, Principal; and at the top of another page, though placed there merely by the accident of alphabet and numbers, is the name of a pupil in the middle class, Emily E. Dickinson.
