Alice Gordon Gulick

Alice Gulick translated Protestant hymns into Spanish, and carried many of her ideas about women's education from her time at Mount Holyoke, encouraging her students to pursue further studies.

"[3] In 1894, Mount Holyoke College gave Gulick one of its first honorary degrees, in recognition of her work for women's education.

[3] Mary E. Woolley, the college president, declared, "If Mount Holyoke had never sent out another alumna except Mrs. Gulick, it would have justified its existence."

Gulick was also the founder and head of the World's Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WWCTU) when it began in Spain in 1891.

[7] Alice Gordon married an Amherst College instructor, Alva Bayless Kittredge, in 1870; he died the next day, from tuberculosis.
