Concerning Lichens

The first Master’s thesis submitted at @msstate​ was written by a woman, Clara Southmayd Ludlow (1852-1924). She attended MSU, then called the Mississippi Agricultural & Mechanical College, while her brother worked as a professor of military science. Concerning Lichens was submitted in 1901, the year she earned her Master of Arts degree in Botany. She went on to earn her PhD at George Washington University in 1908. The American Society of Tropical Medicine & Hygiene awards a medal in her honor.
