Helen L. Webster

[2] After graduation, she taught for several years in the high school in Lynn, Massachusetts, during which time she kept up a course of study with a tutor of Boston.

Her aim was to win recognition which would give her equal standing with regularly graduated collegians, as she was unable to take a college course.

She handed in to the faculty a dissertation, entitled Zur Gutturalfrage im Gotischen, which attracted general comment by its wide research and scholarly handling.

[3] Webster read her paper entitled, "The Education of the Future" at the National Woman's Council at Atlanta, Georgia, October 1895.

[4] From 1899 to 1904,[5] she served as the principal of the Wilkes-Barre Institute, a home and day school for girls and young women including Academic, Intermediate, Primary, and Kindergarten departments.
