She was a member, also, of the New England Women's Club, of Boston, and after her annual visit at Christmas she entertained her students at Vassar with descriptions of the receptions and meeting of that body.

She was also a member of the New York Sorosis.

She received the degree of Ph.D.
from Rutgers Female College in 1870, her first degree of LL.D.

from Hanover College in 1832, and her last LL.D.from Columbia College in 1887.
Miss Mitchell had no ambition to appear in print, and most of her published articles were in response to applications from publishers.
A paper entitled "Mary Somerville" appeared in the "Atlantic Monthly" for May, 1860.

There were several articles in "Silliman's Journal,"-- mostly results of observations on Jupiter and Saturn,--a few popular science papers in "Hours at Home," and one on the "Herschels," printed in "The Century" just after her death.
Miss Mitchell also read a few lectures to small societies, and to one or two girls' schools; but she never allowed such outside work to interfere with her duties at Vassar College, to which she devoted herself heart and soul.
When the failure of her health became apparent to the members of her family, it was with the utmost difficulty that Miss Mitchell could be prevailed upon to resign her position.
