- Abstract
- Helena "Pat" Hogan Shea was born in Ireland and was a student in 1928 when the
Women's College became known as Pembroke College. She worked her way through school as a
commuting student, or "city girl," who came to campus every day on the trolley. In her
interview, Pat describes buildings on the Pembroke campus; her choice to major in Psychology;
physical education; people she knew at Pembroke (Professor John Spaeth, who created Josiah
Carberry, married her roommate); and elements of her family history. She also explores her
life after Brown, describing her work in teaching, testing, and grant writing. As an alumna,
Pat served as President of Pembroke Center Alumnae Association and worked on the
Pembroke-Brown merger committee
