Letter from Emily Gibson to Barbara Bodichon, 1871-03-14
Scope and Contents
Asking for support on an issue which she believes is going to be referred to the Committee; explains that she and some other students had recently performed some scenes from Shakespeare; when there was an objection to them wearing male costume, they promised not to wear it in the public room again. Concerned that wearing male costume in their private space will also be banned and suggests that 'every restriction which curtails the individual responsibility of the student lessens the educational advantage of the life here'.
