Alumnae Medal of Honor Recipients by year recieved

The Medal of Honor was first awarded to alumnae for their outstanding service to Mount Holyoke in 1937, when fourteen alumnae were thus honored at the Alumnae Sypmosium of the Centenary Days. The recipients were chosen based on this definition formulated by the committee:

The medal is awarded by the Mount Holyoke Alumnae Association for eminent service in promoting the effectiveness of the Alumnae Association, for signal service in completing definite projects undertaken by the College, or for other noteworthy services which strengthen the position of the college.
