A short time later, her mother became ill, and Warren had to care for her, once again putting her education on hold.

　　Finally, in 1921, her mother, now recovered, drew from her saving to send Warren to Boston University for two years to study typing, stenography, and office procedures.

　　Those courses helped Warren gain several long-term office positions over the next 60 years, but her great desire “to be in the academic field” continued.

　　In 1924, she married Eugene Warren, and seven years later, her daughter, Corinne, was born. In 1955, by then a widow and a grandmother, Warren took a bus tour across the United States that was to last nine months. She said she wanted to see “things you never see in the West End.”

　　When she returned home, she took a bookkeeping position and also enrolled in courses in philosophy, sociology and Chinese history.

　　In 1975, when she was 75, Warren learned from a neighbor about Suffolk University’s tuition- free program for senior citizens.” I was at the registrar’s office the very next day,” she recalls. At first, she took one or two courses at a time, but encouraged by her professors, she enrolled as a degree candidate.

　　“I had not studied for so many years,” she says, “but I was determined.” For the next four years, Warren, who calls herself a “student of philosophy,” worked toward her degree.
