A cartoon drawing of Mary Lyon, the founder of Mount Holyoke College, presenting a beaverskin stovepipe hat (improbably disguised as a steamed pudding with hard sauce) to Deacon Andrew Porter and his wife Hannah. It's a long story Mount Holyoke College student waitresses prepare to serve Deacon Porter’s Hat, ca. 1960. Photo from Mount Holyoke Archives and Special Collections, Digital.
