- in "Personals", Oread, August 1891, p. 26:
- Mrs. Mary Van Vechten Pinkney, of Chicago, delighted her many school friends by being one of the daughters to come home in June. The friends found in her the ripened, cultured woman of which her early days gave promise. The same might be said of Miss Blanche Strong, who visited Alma Mater a little earlier. Miss Strong has spent some time abroad since in Mt. Carroll before, and there, as in her own country, has been using all means at command for well-rounded development, Miss Strong is now studying with Mr. Sherwood, who gives her great encouragement by openly recognizing her musical ability and artistic skill.
