Alice Muriel Flora Candy (9 July 1888 – 18 May 1977) was a New Zealand teacher, academic and historian.
Born in West Oxford, New Zealand on 9 July 1888,[1] Candy attended Christchurch Girls' High School and got a Junior Scholarship.
Candy was appointed to lecture history at the college in December 1920, making her the second woman academic at the institution, after biologist Elizabeth Herriott.
[1] She worked closely with James Hight, including writing the 1927 A short history of the Canterbury College (University of New Zealand) with a register of graduates and associates of the college; it was to be her only major publication; with her background in school teaching, she specialized in teaching rather than research.
[1] Candy lives on in the name of a building on campus[3][4] and in a W. A. Sutton portrait in the collection of the university.
