An album compiled by New York native, Ruth Haley beginning during her childhood through her graduation from Saint Lawrence University. Documented are her years as a young girl on a family farm, receiving an education in a one-room school house, and taking family vacations to Lake Placid. The images show the family posing in front of the farm house and various other locations in upstate New York as well as of farm animals and the rustic landscape of the country. During her time at Saint Lawrence University she attended an event with Madame Curie who is pictured here walking on campus in two photographs with Owen D. Young and another of her planting a tree. Numerous pictures of the campus and female students are shown here including Haley's graduation. At the university she studied education and went on to Syracuse University for her masters, eventually becoming the Latin teacher at Northville high school in Fulton County where she also directed girls' basketball and field hockey. A nice, complete album depicting the youth and young adulthood of an academic woman.
