Florence Folger Buckland graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. After entering the Electrica Engineering master's program at Union College in 1922, she became the first woman to earn a graduate degree at Union College.
"When two more women applied in 1928, the administration asked the trustees to establish a policy, and the board decided that women could be admitted. In fact, however, the second woman graduated from the program a half-century later in 1977."
