Letter from Fanny Metcalfe to Barbara Bodichon, 1874-07-12

Scope and Contents

Sorry couldn't stay to the end and hear BB's opinion on attitudes of Miss Davies, students and the committee. Gymnasium dress; can state where it shall be worn, but not what shall not be worn until we find something objectionable. Gymnasium dress to be put on and taken off in the Gymnasium. Miss Lumsden valuable to college in a way that we can't expect of Miss Davies. The college is not my ideal of what it might and ought to be, but nothing to be gained by unyielding attitudes. Worried that matters of housekeeping are distasteful to Miss Davies; too much trust in someone like Mrs Hammond will lead to fiasco. I write this in confidence.
