Clara Christine Altman, dean of women at Hastings College, was born at Webber,
Kansas, December 25, 1889, daughter of Samuel and Olive Oatman (Cribbs) Altman.
Her father was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, July 1, 1852, and is of
Dutch descent. Her mother, also a native of Lancaster County, was born August 5,
1860, and is descended from Lord Say, who formed the Saybrook Colony from England.

Miss Altman was graduated from high school at Emporia, Kansas, in 1908, and
received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Emporia College, in 1912. She
thereafter took post graduate work at Columbia University, Paris University and

University of Chicago. During her college career she held various class offices,
and was made a member of Kappa Delta Pi.

A resident of Nebraska for the past ten years, Miss Altman first came to

was appointed dean of women at Hastings College at the end of her first year.
Her professional associations include the National Association of Deans of
