1934 Press Photo Child Prodigy Ellen Elizabeth Benson at Barnard College

Ellen Benson, at the age of twelve, had the highest intelligence quota ever reported in a child and wrote a book concerning the younger generation before her skirts reached her knees. She is now Mrs. Harold S. Leach, wife of an "ice cream man," as she expresses it, living in a modest three room apartment in Sunnyside, Long Island. She works as a cashier in the offices of General Motors in New York. Shown is Mrs. Leach when she was a Barnard College student.
