Early life edit

Laura Alandis Hibbard was born in Chicago, the daughter of Frederick Alan Hibbard and Margaret McMullen Hibbard. She graduated from Hyde Park High School there. She earned a bachelor's degree at Wellesley College in 1905, and a master's degree in 1908. She won Wellesley's Alice Freeman Palmer fellowship for research abroad in 1910.[1] She completed doctoral studies at the University of Chicago in 1916.[2][3]

Career edit

Hibbard taught at Mount Holyoke College from 1908 to 1916. From 1916 to 1943, she taught at Wellesley College, achieving full professor status in 1929, and held the Katharine Lee Bates Endowed Chair in English Literature. One of her students at Wellesley was Chinese writer Bing Xin.[4] She published her research in academic journals including Speculum, PMLA, Modern Philology, and Modern Language Notes.[5][6][7][8] She served a term as vice-president of the Modern Language Association.[9]

In retirement, Loomis moved to live and work full-time with her husband Roger Sherman Loomis in New York City (rather than commuting, as she had done for years),[10] and taught at Hunter College and at Columbia University.[2][3] In 1953, she arranged an exhibition of medieval paintings at the Morgan Library, and wrote a book to accompany the show.[11]
