Day 53: May Klipple

Since I am working so much with Klipple's African Folktales index, I decided to see what I could find out about her. She wrote the book originally as a dissertation in 1938, working under Stith Thompson, and it looks like she later went on to become a professor at Ball State. I found this picture of her in their archives, and there is a building named after her on that campus. How cool!
