Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox person
Emma Montgomery McRae (February 12, 1848 – September 21, 1919) was a Professor of English literature.
Born Mary Emma Montgomery in Loveland, Ohio, she was the daughter of William Montgomery and Anna née Newton.[1] Her family moved to Indiana when she was five.[2] Emma completed her undergraduate work at Brookfield Academy, Indiana, then she taught at a school in Vevay, Indiana.[3]
She became a high school principal in 1867 at Muncie, Indiana[4] and was married to Hamilton S. McRae on August 6, 1868,[1] the local superintendent of public schools.[5] She took the position of principal at Marion, Indiana in 1883.[4] Emma was the first woman in Indiana to be chosen president of the State Teachers Association.[6] Her husband died in 1887, leaving her with two daughters – Bertha born 1873 and Charlene born 1876.[1]
In 1887, she was appointed professor at Purdue University[4] by President James H. Smart.[6] There, she served as the unofficial dean of women and acquired the nickname "Mother" from the undergraduates. In 1894 a group of women created the Muncie McRae club in her honor, which was intended to fill a void caused by lack of educational opportunity for women.[6] She continued her studies at Wooster College, Ohio, earning a master's degree in 1896. In 1913, she was offered the official position of dean of women for Purdue University, which she accepted.[3] She retired June, 1913,[7] whereupon she was granted a retirement allowance by the Carnegie Foundation in July of the same year.[4]
