From Brunswick: 100 Years of Memories:

Sent to Frostburg State College to close it in 1945, Dr. Compton failed so miserably that the facility eventually multiplied its enrollment by 800 per cent, tripled its personnel, and quadrupled its property evaluation.  She retired as President of the College in 1955 and continued her leadership roles in professional and community activities.  Her teaching career began in Cumberland in 1904.  She was the first woman in Maryland to fill the position of assistant superintendent of schools.  Her honorary doctorate was awarded by the University of Maryland
