Julia Josephine Thomas Irvine (1848-1930)[1] was the fourth president of Wellesley College, serving from 1894 to 1899.[2]
Irvine was a Cornell University graduate who came to Wellesley College as a professor of Greek in 1890. During her tenure as Wellesley president, she enacted a number of reforms and eliminated some of the rules for students such as silent time, domestic work, the prohibition on Sunday library hours and mandatory Chapel attendance. She replaced several professors, especially those without advanced degrees.[3]
