Elizabeth Ruth Bennett
October 9, 1880 - October 15, 1972
Elizabeth Bennett was the first woman to receive a Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Illinois, and the second Ph.D. overall from that department. She was born in 1880 in Shawnee, PA., and received her A.B. degree in 1903 from Ohio University in Athens, OH. She held a scholarship in mathematics at Illinois for 1907-1908, and a fellowship from 1908-1910. She received her master's degree in 1908 and her Ph.D. in 1910 with a thesis on "Primitive groups with a determination of the primitive groups of degree 20," written under the direction of G. A. Miller. The thesis was later published in the American Journal of Mathematics, Vol 34, No. 1, pp1-20 [Abstract]. After receiving her Ph.D. she taught at the University of Nebraska where she was an instructor in the mathematics department. While there she met and married John Grennan, a professor in the mechanical engineering department. In 1918, she was appointed an inst
