Ray Watkin Hoagland graduated from Rice Institute in 1936 with a B.A. in French. She actively served as a senior member of the Honor Council; a member of Pi Delta Phi, the honorary French society; a member of the French Alliance in Houston; and a member of Phi Beta Kappa, the honorary scholastic society.

The many invitations and thank-you letters placed neatly throughout her scrapbook are indicative of her popularity and social status.
