Helen G. Scott received a B.A. and M.A. in German from Northwestern in 1933 and 1934 and then an M.A. in English quite a bit later, in 1948. The granddaughter of a florist who created bouquets for society weddings, she grew up to marry the son of university president Walter Dill Scott and was involved in the construction of Northwestern’s Scott Hall, initially designated for women’s studies.
