This is a photo of Rosamund Hall, who attended Smith College (Northampton, Massachusetts) in 1901. Despite the name, I wasn’t able to find a conclusive match for her. It’s hard to say where she was in 1900, although Massachusetts would be a strong possibility. Additionally, she could have been enumerated as Rosa, Rose, Rosie, etc., making the possibilities endless without a definitive location.
If she’s your relative, contact me!
I’m reading her name as Rosamund. Does the census have her as Rosalund?
Hi Norkio,
You are correct, I just typed it wrong. It’s fixed now 🙂

Could the name be not of the lady but of her dorm or class building?
ME, that’s a very good point! Could be…
I agree with ME, it could be the hall she lived in.
my mothers maiden name is hall. but we are newzealanders!
