Hello Girls was the colloquial name for American bilingual female switchboard operators in World War I, formally known as the Signal Corps Female Telephone Operators Unit. During World War I, these switchboard operators were sworn into the U.S. Army Signal Corps.
This corps were formed in 1917 from a call by General John J. Pershing to improve communications on the Western front. Applicants had to be bilingual in English and French. Over 7,000 women applied, but only 450 were accepted. Many were former switchboard operators or employees at telecommunications companies. They completed their Signal Corps training at Camp Franklin, now a part of Fort George G. Meade in Maryland.
History
Much earlier (than WW1) published references to "Hello Girls" exist. The term was first coined for the female telephone switchboard operators in the US. The earliest reference is in Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court written in 1889. Although the term may have been applied to the signalling corps, it did not originate there but was rather the common term used for the ladies who would say hello when you rang the switch as opposed to direct calling.
Knight was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, the son of George and Ann née Halley. Knight arrived in the Port Phillip District 1847 and briefly worked in his brother's (A. H.) grain and milling business.
Knight moved to Belfast (later known as Port Fairy in 1848. He became a partner in the auctioneering firm Macgregor & Knight.
On 15 November 1855, Knight was elected to the unicameral Victorian Legislative Council for Villiers and Heytesbury, a position he held until the original Council was abolished in March 1856.
Knight died in Port Fairy, Victoria on 21 August 1876, he had married Matilda Bennett in 1853.
Knight was born in Ottumwa, Iowa in November 1875. His father, Henry B. Knight, was an Ohio native and Presbyterian minister. His mother, Jane, was born in Pennsylvania. At the time of the 1880 United States Census, Knight was living with his parents and two older brothers (Louis and Harry) in Ottumwa. At the time of the 1885 Iowa State Census, Knight was living in Fairfield, Iowa where his father was employed as a professor at Parsons College.
Parsons College and Princeton
Knight began his college education at Parsons College, the liberal arts college where his father was a professor. He enrolled at Princeton University in approximately 1893. As a senior in 1895, Knight played college football as an end for the Princeton Tigers football team. While attending Princeton, Knight listed Chicago as his home city and was the vice president of Princeton's Chicago Club. He also lettered in gymnastics and rowing. He graduated from Princeton as part of the Class of 1896.
