MISS MARGARET E. MALTBY

(CFG-FIB-c)

Some years ago a correspondent wrote of Miss Margaret E. Maltby, “she is the only woman professor at Columbia University.”  If this is still the case is not known to the compiler, but that Miss Maltby is a very brilliant woman, exceedingly clever and a fascinating conversationalist is well known to those who have been so fortunate as to make her acquaintance.  The following are a list of degrees conferred upon her:  Oberlin, Ohio, A. B. (1882);  A.M. (1891); Mass. Institute of Techonlogy, S. B. (1891); Gottinger University (Germany) Ph.D.  (1895).  Miss Maltby has held the following fellowships;  Foreign Scholarship (or Fellowship) from Mass. Institute of Technology, two years while at Gottinger, ’93-’95.  The foreign fellowship of the Association of Collegiate Alumni, ’95-’96.

Miss Maltby is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and was private research assistant to President Kohlbransch of the Physikalisch Technische Reichsaustalt, ’98-’99.

In 1899-1900  Miss Maltby studied at Clark University with Professor Webster; for four years and a half she taught at Wellesley Collegy; one year at Lake Erie College and eight years at Barnard.

In 1909 Mis Maltby was Adjunct Professor in charge of the Department of Physics of Barnard University which post she held since the summer of 1903.  She is a first cousin of Mr. Frank B. Maltby, C.E. (see sketch) and her line of descent in the Maltby family is: Edmund (6), Nathaniel Harrison (5), Benjamin (4), Daniel (3), Daniel (2) William (1).
