Kathleen Rosemary Moonan graduated with a degree in Latin and Greek at the age of 20. (1)
By the age of 22 she had completed her thesis for her Masters Degree from the University of Minnesota.
The title of her thesis was 'The Sceintific Terms of Lucretius'
"The purpose and intent of this thesis is to show with what degree of success Lucretius expressed Greek thought in Latin language. This can be most satisfactorily accomplished by a comparison of the Latin translations with Greek originals with regard to force, meaning, and purity of diction."
(1) Kathleen's undergraduate degree was from St. Clara Academy at Sinsinawa, WI. St. Clara evolved into Rosary College - and now Dominican University - where many luminary women in this family recevied their degrees.
