Mary Isabel McCracken (1866-1955)

from Smithsonian Institution

  • pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:
    She was born in Oakland CA and was a public schoolteacher there before she went to Stanford. She earned her PhD there in 1908, and became a Professor of Zoology there. In 1929 she was named a Fellow of the California Academy of Sciences. She was by no means wealthy, but she was known for helping struggling students with their tuition, and for supporting the Children's Museum in Palo Alto.

    These are lovely details. Where did you find them?

    Oh, sorry! It's a PDF, a memorial resolution at Stanford: histsoc.stanford.edu/pdfmem/McCrackenM.pdf

    Prototype Travel Air 5000, originally operated by Pacific Air Transport and registered C2615; photo taken following its use by Ernie Smith for his trans-Pacific flight as the "City of Oakland." Seen here while flying with Bay Cities Air Service following the airframe's return from Hawaii.

    By the angle of Market Street, that might be Yerba Buena Island rather than Alcatraz.

    Looks like they've started clearing ground for the Bay Bridge approach, between Harrison and Bryant.
