Biography
Born in Calais, Maine, Cronkhite earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Radcliffe College in 1916, her Master's degree in 1918, and her Ph.D in 1920.[1] She became the first woman at Radcliffe College to receive a doctorate in political science, her thesis entitled, "On the Status of Armed Merchantmen".[1] At the age of 29 in 1922, she became the dean of Radcliffe College, making her the youngest person to become a dean in the United States.[2][3] She then served as the first dean for the Radcliffe graduate school from 1934 until her retirement in 1959.[3] Although she retired, she remained a vice president and trustee of Radcliffe College until 1960, when she was named dean emeritus.[1]
Cronkhite was the primary author of a 1956 report issued by Radcliffe College which summarized the experiences of several hundred Ph.D. holders from the institution.[4] In 1957, she raised funds to establish a women's dormitory in Cambridge, Massachusetts.[5] In her thirty-six years of service to Radcliffe College, she had worked there longer than any other senior officer in the institution.[6]
She died on 3 August 1983 at the Stillman Infirmary of the Harvard University Health Services in Cambridge, Massachusetts.[1] The Cronkhite Graduate center at Radcliffe College was named in her honor, as a tribute to the 70 years that she was connected with the institution.
