House Mother
"Mother Montague is the comforter of all homesick freshmen and a friend and advisor to upper-classmen, but she hates to be called 'campus mother.'"

Mrs. Montague appears in the 1942 yearbook, The Cauldron and in the student newspaper, The Cluster.

Chapter 10 of Whisper of the River (Dr. Huber to Porter, regarding an unnamed English professor): "The Professor inquired of Mrs. Capulet if you comported yourself well in the dormitory, and she gave you a very good name, her exact words being, 'like a lamb,' a feminine exaggeration which is nonetheless communicative."
