Helen Rosemary Cole (1906-1964) joined the faculty of Northeast Missouri State Teachers College at the end of a long career teaching French in high schools and universities in Iowa, Missouri, Michigan and Ohio. She was Professor of French at Northeast (now Truman State University) from 1959 until her death in 1964. The daughter of Harvey Wellington and Mabel (Miller) Cole, Dr Cole was a native of Maxwell, Iowa and received her education in that state’s universities. She earned a BA in French (1927) at Iowa State Teachers College and her MA and PhD (1948) at the University of Iowa. Along the way, she did additional graduate level work at several institutions, including L’Alliance Francaise in Paris. |
