Letter from Emily Davies to Barbara Bodichon, 1875-07-02
Scope and Contents
Thanks for overseeing interior decoration. Money - slight surplus in the Maintenance Fund. Library [controller] should have authority to accept or refuse gifts of pictures or scientific objects, Mistress to have discretion re gifts of furniture. Now arranged that Mistress is to have nomination of all resident teachers - Miss Bernard wants Miss Kingsland to return. Discussion of nomination of new members of College - wants more men, if we can get good ones. Delighted with Miss Bernard. Are your and my ideas the same? You know it is not mine at all to put the Mistress or any part of the working of the College under the control of the students. I would like to have Miss Aitken eventually but not yet.
