Edith Renfrow Smith’s Graduation Photographs

As we come together to celebrate the dedication of Renfrow Hall, and to celebrate the amazing life and accomplishments of Edith Renfrow Smith ’37, Grinnell College is fortunate enough to have (in its archives) four graduation photographs of Edith, ranging over 90 years, from her eighth-grade graduation in town (in 1929), through to her honorary doctorate at Grinnell in 2019. The other two photographs include her 1937 Grinnell College graduation and her 1954 graduation from Chicago Teacher’s College.
