Margaret Barclay Wilson (1863–1945) was a professor of physiology and honorary librarian at Hunter College, where she rose from starting as a tutor in 1887.
[4][1] During WWI, Wilson traveled to England, preparing a report on flours in bread-making for wartime food shortages.
She additionally helped the Department of Health in New York publish information on economic food choices.
A year later, in 1918, she organized groups to help care for the influenza patients, as well as herself preparing food for families in need.
[3] She also left her collection of antiquities to Johns Hopkins archaeology museum, in connection with her fellow Hunter College educator, Helen Tanzer.
