Please call 508.872.9770 or email Office@AlumniHouse.org with any questions. *The loans are named for Ellen Hyde, an 1862 graduate of the State Normal School at Framingham, who taught at the school and became its principal only thirteen years after her graduation. From her intimate knowledge of the struggle many students had to pay their way, she felt the need for a fund that could be used to help them. Upon her retirement in 1898, she provided seed money and Framingham Alumnae Association members added donations and formally established the Ellen Hyde Fund.
