Her younger brother had begun to attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology two years after Lucy Wilson had entered Wellesley. Lucy not only studied the science field but also had an interest in language especially German which she studied in high school. Her grandfather had attended Harvard College and the Harvard Medical School. Her family was definitely involved in schooling as well as trying to obtain a higher education. For example, Lucys aunt was one of the early women graduates of Oberlin College and taught History.[3] When Wilson was about 2, her father died and her mother took the young Lucy and her baby brother to live with their grandparents in Bloomington. Her mother had attended Houghton Seminary in Clinton.[3] Her and her family were an Episcopalian family. She became a professor in physics and psychology in 1935. This dual appointment was a result of work in both perception and optics. From 1938 she also held administrative positions, beginning with acting dean of college in 1938 and then as the College's first dean of students in 1939.[2] In 1945 she was named the Sarah Frances Whiting professor,[2] a position created in honor of the Wesley College physicist and astronomer Sarah Frances Whiting. She retired in 1954, following which the senior class established a scholarship fund in her name.[2] Positions
