  • Alice Blinn (April 18, 1889 – January 20, 1982) was an American educator, home efficiency expert, and magazine editor. Born in Candor, New York, she attended the New York State normal school and became a teacher. After teaching briefly, in 1913, she entered Cornell University and earned a degree in Domestic Science. While in school, she founded and managed the Cornell Women's Review. After graduation in 1917, she became a food conservation demonstrator for the New York Extension Service and then returned after a year to teach and manage the publications office for the Extension Service at Cornell. Moving to New York City in the early 1920s, Blinn became a research editor for The Delineator and a designer for the Delineator Home Institute. She designed the kitchen remodel for Dartington Hall in Devon, England, though only part of her plan was utilized. In 1935 she became an associate editor with the Ladies' Home Journal and remained with them until her retirement in 1952. A noted feature series she was involved in during her tenure was a project which remodeled and renovated kitchens of celebrities like Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne, and Edna St. Vincent Millay and Eugen Boissevain. In 1944, she became the sixth woman ever elected to serve on the Board of Trustees of Cornell and served through the early 1950s. (en)
