Eleanor Cross Marquand (15 Apr 1873– 27 Feb 1950) was an authority on the representation and symbolism of flowers and trees in art, particularly of floral emblems in the early Christian church. In recognition of this work, she received an honorary Master of Arts Degree from Princeton University in 1948, only the 4th woman in the history of the university to receive this honor.[1]
