      • Creator: SimpsonMaryJean, 1888-1977.
      • Date Created: 1942
      • Description: This diary most prominently features the death of Mary Jean’s mother in late February, a hugely significant figure in her life. Much of the diary discusses the loneliness that comes with the death of a parent, especially around the holiday seasons. Topics in this diary include family death, grief and faith, UVM student affairs, University requirements during World War II, and Women’s Groups. Throughout the year Mary Jean busies herself with women’s groups and student life at UVM, dealing with a student theft incident at Allen Hall, going to Delta Kappa Gamma and YWCA events, and attending meetings on Student Aid. In the absence of her mother, Mary Jean writes about spending time with her cousin Jean and Aunt Kate and expresses misery at the distance created between her and her brother, John. Peppered throughout emotional passages are mention of going to plays and concerts, attending dinners, and in one instance a Faculty Senate meeting with the War Council on student physical education requirements. Topics in this diary include family death, grief and faith, UVM student affairs, University requirements during World War II, and Women’s Groups.
