American writer
Lucy Sprague Mitchell (July 2, 1878 – October 15, 1967[1]) was an American educator and children's writer, and the founder of Bank Street College of Education.[2]
Early life and education
Lucy Sprague was born in Chicago, Illinois, the daughter of Otho A.
S. Sprague and Lucia Atwood Sprague. Her father was a businessman.[3] She attended Radcliffe College from 1896 to 1900, graduating with honors in philosophy.[4] During her time at Radcliffe College, Mitchell lived with Alice Freeman Palmer and George Herbert Palmer on Quincy Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Because of the college's strict codes of gender segregation at the time, Mitchell had to circumvent the all-male Harvard Yard in order to reach Harvard University's Museum of Comparative Zoology, where she worked in the Radcliffe Zoological Laboratory.[5]
Her sister Mary married scientist Adolph C.
Miller.[3] Pianist E
