Flora Effie Strout (April 28, 1867 – November 5, 1962) was an American teacher and social reformer. Early on, she taught at Lyman School for Boys in Massachusetts and then at Morgan College (now Morgan State University), where she also served as principal. As an organizer of the World's Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU), she served as a foreign missionary and temperance movement worker,[1] for three five-year periods in various parts of Asia.[2] She was also involved in the social purity movement and was active in supporting women's suffrage. She wrote occasional articles on temperance issues and the lyrics for Morgan College's school anthem.
