Letter from Fanny Metcalfe to Barbara Bodichon, 1875-03-28
Scope and Contents
Sorry Mr Taylor has fallen away; hasn't given adequate reasons for his view [on Louisa Lumsden]. Miss Davies is the sole representative of the feelings/views/wants of the students; they would say she does not represent us. Miss Lumsden will not come back unless she is on the committee; shall not find anyone who desires the success of the College more or who will more effectively help the students. I can only count on you and Miss Shirreff; nothing in Miss Lumsden's statement could disqualify her. The "girls" are "young women" whose views must be represented fairly. Worried that the existence of Girton is at stake. 2 copies.
