Ethel Chandler served as an instructor of Freshman English at Wilson College during the 1913-1914 academic year. Her appointment followed a competitive selection process led by Dr. McKeag, who praised her diligence, lesson preparation, and pedagogical skills. Despite her positive performance, she was not reappointed after 1914 due to restructuring in the English Department, which redistributed her role among other faculty members. Dr. McKeag provided strong letters of recommendation for her post-Wilson job searches in 1915, affirming her contributions and endorsing her professional potential.
Ethel Chandler held an A.B. degree from Mount Holyoke College (1903) and was nearing an A.M. degree from Radcliffe College by 1913. Prior to her brief tenure at Wilson, she taught high school English in Vergennes, Vermont (1905–1908), Little Falls, New York (1908–1910), and Northampton, Massachusetts (1910–1912). Her teaching evaluations highlighted her meticulous approach, hard work, and ability to engage students in foundational English studies.
Though no specific research awards or publications are documented, her career focused on educational excellence and classroom innovation. Her references emphasized her ethical character and adaptability as a teacher, particularly her patience with non-advanced English learners. No lab affiliations or grant details are noted in the archives, but her teaching roles spanned diverse institutions, underscoring her commitment to early 20th-century pedagogical practices.
