Quindara Oliver Dodge (May 3, 1897 – August 1978) was an American dietitian based in Boston. She was a professor of institution management at Simmons College beginning in 1931, and president of the American Dietetic Association from 1933 to 1934.[1][2]

Early life and education

Oliver was born in Pennsylvania and raised in Lapeer, Michigan, the daughter of William Loveridge Oliver and Gertrude Carroll Oliver.[3] She graduated from Lapeer High School, and earned a bachelor's degree in home economics from Michigan State College in 1918.[4][5] She pursued further studies at Columbia University.[3]

Career

Dodge was a "nationally known dietitian" by 1929.[6] She was a professor of institution management at Simmons College in Boston beginning in 1931.[7] She was also director of the vocational training department of the Women's Educational and Industrial Union.[8] She was president of the American Dietetic Association from 1933 to 1934.[9][10] "Mrs. Dodge is not at all the austere, coldly professional sort of person you would expect of one bearing so many impressive titles," a 1934 report assured readers.[11]

Dodge spoke about changing patterns of consumption and new methods of packaging milk and curing hams to the Texas State Dietetic Association in 1938.[12][13] In 1944 she addressed the Springfield Nutrition Bureau on worker nutrition and industrial cafeterias.[14][15] In 1947 she was honored by Michigan State College as an outstanding home economics alumna.[16]

Dodge was a charter member of the Boston chapter of Zonta International, when it formed in 1927.[8]
