College Widow

The oldest member of the Class of 1941, which got its diplomas from George Washington University last week, is 78. Mrs. Isabelle Barnes Haggett, a small, frail, bright-eyed widow, settled down in the District of Columbia eight years ago, looked around for "something to do," decided to go to college. She found it "a little hard at first to keep up" with her young classmates, and an ill-fitting dental plate interfered with her French pronunciation, but she faithfully went to classes in good weather & bad, earned C grades.

Last week, having completed the required 120 hours, Mrs. Haggett donned cap & gown, seized her diploma, announced she planned to go on in the fall to get an M.A. in European history.
