Letter from Sedley Taylor to Barbara Bodichon, 1869-12-02

Scope and Contents

Can't make lunch at Blandford Square on Saturday. Suggests that the best locale for the College is in or near Cambridge. The expense of railway journeys to Hitchin and the larger salaries which would have to be paid to teachers and other difficulties mean that a site in Cambridge must be selected. On the other hand, while 'all here' will offer teaching, the moral safety of the students must be the responsibility of the ladies of the executive committee. Recommends a trial in Cambridge, rather than Hitchin, followed by building in Cambridge.
