Miss Dee enrolled for a Master’s Degree in Peabody College in Nashville in the summer of 2016. Her studies continued into the 1917-1918 school year.
In 1918-19, there was the mysterious interlude in Savannah that I have not figured out. The record in Miss Dee’s box seems to indicate that the studies were not resumed until the 1920-1921. The following is on the reverse side of the preceding.
Miss Dee’s initialed note indicates that she took one of the courses at Vanderbilt University. The remaining notes don’t appear to have to do with work at either school, but is simply a compilation of credits (probably for a particular area of work—maybe education) from various schools.
Regardless of the actual date of completion, her studies at Peabody resulted in a Master’s degree. Miss Dee’s box included her photo in her “new M.A. costume.”
Her studies at Peabody prepared Miss Dee for new ventures in teaching at the college level. In collaboration with the Women’s Missionary Council of the MECS, she went to Oklahoma University to teach after completing her work at Peabody.
