Helen B. Caine

She received her A.B. at the University of Minnesota and M.A. from Columbia Teachers’ College. Caine also had completed Columbia University’s special course for deans. Her experience as alumnae secretary and registrar at Dana Hall, Wellesley, and Massachusetts gave her a sympathetic understanding of the problems of a woman’s college. She saw to it that the Western students took an important part in the war-time activities of the village of Oxford. Students served as junior hostesses at the USO, worked with church groups, with the Red Cross and the Red Cross blood bank and co-operated with various organizations at Miami. Miss Caine’s genuine interest in the community, in the church, in the American Association of University Women, in the Business and Professional Women’s Club, as well as her membership on the board of the Oxford community Chest all stimulated among the students interest in responsibility citizenship. Many alumnae considered themselves better citizens because of Caine’s influence.
