Bryn Mawr's Edith Hamilton Portrait has been repaired and restored!

You may have noticed that our portrait of Edith Hamilton was missing from the library. That's because it was being repaired and restored by Art Conservator, Nancy Pollak. 
On December 6th faculty and students gathered in the library to celebrate the re-installation of the portrait and to learn more about Hamilton, who was Bryn Mawr's first Headmistress.  




Middle School Students saw Edith Hamilton's suitcase, and passport and watched a television interview with her from 1958 when she was 92 years old.


First Grade students learned about Edith Hamilton's influence on Bryn Mawr from Archivist and Middle School Librarian, Claire Hruban.
