Excerpt from The Mines of the Upper Harz From 1514 to 1589: A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Literature in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Department of HistoryHelen Boyce was graduated from the University of Chicago in 1905, and two years later entered the graduate school as a student of history, archaeology and the history of art. Intervals of teaching from time to time interrupted the continuity of her studies, so that a decade ensued before she secured the higher degree, She was a teacher for a time in the Woman's College at Constantinople. After returning to this country she taught in the Halstead School at Yonkers, N. Y. She was in charge of the history courses in the Faulkner School in Chicago for several years, and there, as elsewhere, won the loving respect of each associate teacher and of every student by her fairness, for her helpfulness, for her loyal, unselfish interest in others, and above all for her rare scholarship. From the beginning Miss Boyce was distinguished for her intellectual ability, her proficiency for research, her unusual breadth of culture.Early in her course Miss Boyce manifested special interest in the history of the later middle ages, and the manuscript whose character and history she has related fixed this determination. As the instructor who suggested the subject of the dissertation and guided her researches more than any other, it has fallen to my lot to see through the press this first - and last - produc tion of one whom all who knew her must feel to be untimely lost. Miss Boyce received the degree of doctor of philosophy (magna cum laude) in 1917, and died on May 8, 1920.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
