}}Mary Augusta Scott (1851–1918) was a scholar and professor of English at Smith College. She was one of the first women to receive a PhD from Yale University, in 1894.[1]

Life and work

Scott was born in Dayton, Ohio, and received her master's degree at Vassar College. She studied at Newnham College, Cambridge University, Johns Hopkins and Yale University; she earned her Ph.D. from Yale in 1894.[2]

A professor of English at Smith from 1902, Scott edited and published The Essays of Francis Bacon. She also completed Elizabethan Translations from the Italian, published in the Vassar Semi-Centennial Series in 1916, and reviewed by the Journal of Modern Philology in 1918.[3] She was a frequent contributor to The Dial and other literary and academic journals.[4]

Works

  • The Essays of Francis Bacon (editor) (New York, 1908)
  • Elizabethan translations from the Italian (1916)

Papers

The Mary Augusta Scott Papers, ca. 1870 - 1917, are held at Vassar College Archives and Special Collections.[2]

Tribute

In 2016 a portrait of the first seven women to receive Ph.D.s from Yale, which those seven women all did in 1894, was placed in Sterling Memorial Library at Yale.[1] The women include Scott, Elizabeth Deering Hanscom, Margaretta Palmer, Charlotte Fitch Roberts, Cornelia H.B. Rogers, Sara Bulkley Rogers, and Laura Johnson Wylie.[1] The portrait is the first painting hanging in Sterling Memorial Library to have women as subjects.[1] Brenda Zlamany was the artist.[1]
