Letter [from Emily Davies] to [Matthew] Arnold, 1864-12-23

 File
Reference Code: GBR/0271/GCPP Davies 6/4

Scope and Contents

To accompany a manifesto [probably 'Reasons for the admission of the University Local Examinations to girls', not present; see GCPP Davies 8/192]. The special syndicate at Cambridge set up to consider the Memorial [on the admission of girls to University Local Examinations] is likely to report favourably, but the Senate is likely to follow prejudice rather than reason. Regrets that MA is not on the [Schools Enquiry] Commission. Reflects on the need to encourage the Commission to include girls' schools while not tormenting them with unnecessary appeals. Unsigned draft.
