Funeral services for Miss Alice Dinsmoor, 91, of 28 Minnell Place, Teaneck, one of the oldest alumnae of Vassar College, who died at her home yesterday, will be held at Volk's Colonial Home, Teaneck Road, Teaneck, at 8 P. M. tomorrow, with the Rev. J. G. Gebhard of Harrington Park officiating. Cremation will be at New York-New Jersey Crematory in North Bergen. Miss Dinsmoor was graduated from Vassar with the class of 1872. Her memories of the school contributed colorful material for Vassar's seventy-fifth anniversary celebration and Miss Dinsmoor was the oldest graduate attending the exercises. She had been a faithful alumna, returning for frequent reunions. BORN IN MASSACHUSETTS Born in Lowell, Mass., she was the daughter of James and Amanda Carpenter Dinsmoor of that City. Her father had been a college graduate and sent both Miss Dinsmoor and her sister to Vassar although higher education for girls was rare in that early period. After leaving Vassar Miss Dinsmoor taught for 30 years in Miss Round's School of Brooklyn, which prepared girls for Vassar. While still a young woman she passed several summer vacations in Europe studying conditions among minors and wrote the findings of her research for magazines. She also was the author of two books, one about her childhood in the middle West. SUFFERED STROKE Until she suffered a stroke last week, Miss Dinsmoor was in good health, had a vivid memory, especially of her years at Vassar, and was interested in current happenings. For the past 2 years she had worked for the Red Cross at home, wrapping bandages and surgical tape for war relief work. She also gave $30 she had saved for Vassar to the Red Cross War Relief Committee. For many years Miss Dinsmoor lived in River Vale in her own home. She moved to Teaneck only a few years ago, to live with a family, her advanced years having made It Inadvisable for her to be alone.
