[LIB2524] The C. Elizabeth Boyd '33 Archives is named in honor of Miss Boyd class of 1933 who served as the College's registrar from 1956 to 1971. After her retirement in 1971, she was granted emeritus status for her exemplary service. As registrar, she worked closely with College records and understood their value. From 1979 to 1994 Miss Boyd served as archivist, working doggedly to prevent the destruction and loss of College records. In addition, she encouraged many alumnae and other College friends to donate Wilson-related materials.

[LIB1875]"Wilson College was incorporated by Act of the Legislature, March 24, 1869, and was opened October 12, 1870, as a school for the higher education of women.

Miss Wilson is buried in the graveyard of Rocky Spring Presbyterian Church."
