FOREWORD. AN Editorial is an innovation in the Club Report, but this is not so much an Editorial as an attempt to express on the part of the Club as a whole the feeling which must be present in the minds of Past and Present Students alike. We shall all of us remember 1915 as a year which, among many changes, brought also a change at St. Hugh's. In bidding goodbye to our first Principal, the Principal under whose unwearying leadership the College has grown up, we could wish to say something that would express, in however little a measure, our sense of what we owe her. If we are dumb, it is because the things for which she stood prompt an expression more inevitable and more enduring than the words of ordinary folk can ever hope to be. But we would wish her to know that inspiration such as hers is among the things that abide, and that among the joys that can never grow old is our joy in an Oxford inseparably knit in our memories with the College to which she gave her lifework. And having said that, we can say to her, quite simply, Goodbyeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;God be with you. It is good to know that in the new Principal of St. Hugh's we have a friend to whom the College has long been bound by countless ties. In welcoming her in her new capacity we know that we are welcoming one who values, just as we do, the ideals with which our first Principal informed St. Hugh's, and we are confident that under her leadership St. Hugh's will go on to meet the everwidening demands that the coming years must bring.

LETTER FROM THE PRINCIPAL. During this year of national crisis, r 914-19r 5, St. Hugh's College Council has had to deal with many anxious problems. Many meetings were held to discuss the questions, how much of the projected new building should be undertaken, and which parts should be built first ? The Council had decided upon the West wing and central block and the ground floor of the East wing, when, in January 1915, Miss Clara Evelyn Mordan, our most kind friend and benefactress, died, and it was found that she had made St, Hugh's College her heir to the extent of Li r,000. On the strength of this gift, even though considerably diminished by legacy duty, etc., the Council decided to carry out the plans for the whole College, excepting only certain boundary-walls and one of the lodges. It was also decided to put fixed wardrobes in the students' rooms, which will, we hope, be found a very great convenience. Old students will have heard some months ago with very deep regret of Miss Moberly's resignation, which was known to the Council by a letter from her in Michaelmas Term, 1914. The Council replied to her letter in terms which showed that they appreciated very warmly Miss Moberly's work for St. Hugh's, and realized how much all of us who care for the College have owed to her inspiration and leadership. We all hope that the College will continue to make itself worthy of a past that was both strenuous and dignified, and which won for St. Hugh's the name of a " working " college in the University of Oxford. The war has made everyone think more deeply ; and while our new buildings will make for unity, and also give a beautiful background to our college life, we shall not, I hope, lose the old ideals in our easier conditions, nor forget the need of co-operation and self-denial, nor lose the sense of the part a woman's college should play in a University. It is a very great pleasure to us all that Miss Moberly will be living in Oxford, at 4, Norham Road, where I hope to be with her in vacations. Under the very difficult circumstances of change and uncertain prospects, with numbers increasing and students housed in six different abodes, the College has nevertheless kept itself well together, helped by the co-operation between the Senior and Junior Common Rooms, and by an efficient Senior Student. In the course of the Hilary Term the Council appointed Miss B. A. Bullen, King's College for Women, to be House Bursar at St. Hugh's. Miss Bullen took on the housekeeping in the Summer Term at the Hall, and as soon as we are able to dispense with the House and the Hostel, she will, we hope, have the whole of the housekeeping in her hands, and thus in the new College a more 2

definite division of labour will appear. Old students will be glad to hear of Miss Ady's appointment to be Vice-Principal from July, 1915, and will join with us in a welcome to her in her new capacity. The tutorial staff has been strengthened by the formal appointment as Tutor in Mathematics of Mrs. Haverfield, who has for some years helped us informally as Tutor. During the year's Council meetings we have had to do without the regular attendance of some of our most useful and active members. Mr. Hamilton Fyfe came in khaki when he could spare time from his military duties ; Mr. Brierly has a commission, and is away from Oxford ; Mr. Jenkinson is doing war-work in London. Two vacancies on the Council had to be filled in July, 1915, through the death of Miss Mordan and the resignation of Miss Wordsworth ; while another vacancy was caused by my joining the Council in an ex officio capacity as Principal. At the General Meeting, therefore, the College unanimously elected Miss Moberly as a member of Council, and the Council afterwards co-opted Miss Gray Allen (Miss Mordan's devoted friend) and Mrs. Perkin, wife of the Waynflete professor of chemistry. Many members of the Council had been eager to secure the more permanent association of Miss Moberly and Miss Wordsworth with the College. The constitution of the College precludes the addition of new officers or permanent members of Council, and therefore some honorary office was thought of which could be held independently of or together with the position of elected member of Council. The President, the Archdeacon of Oxford, proposed that the Council and the College should co-operate in creating the office of Honorary Vice-President, and should invite Miss Moberly and Miss Wordsworth to take this office. He explained to the General Meeting the desire felt by all those closely connected with the College not to lose the opportunity of such a connection, which though " honorary " from a legal point of view, represents a very sincere feeling of affection and gratitude to the Founder of St. Hugh's and its first Principal. This proposal was carried by hearty assent at the General Meeting. We were very sorry that probably owing to the war, so few people attended the General Meeting of the College in 1915 ; but we hope that more and more students as they go down will become members of the College, and thus help to make membership really representative of all the generations of St. Hugh's. The College with its new buildings will now be able to be a centre for them in a way that was less easy in the former cramped conditions, and there would be much mutual help to be gained by a closer relation between the present College and those students who have gone down.

19 Membership offers an additional reason for coming up regularly and hearing at first hand something of the life and progress of the College, though we hope that all past students, whether members or not, will help in this time of transition to join the new to the old St. Hugh's. ELEANOR F. JOURDAIN.

STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTS. The Accounts for the financial year October, 1913—October, 1914, show that our best hopes have been realized. The Club is free from debt and has a balance of over on the right side. This balance is chiefly due to the large number of life subscriptions completed during the year, and so the glory that it gives at the bottom of the column is not likely to be reflected in the accounts for

23 the following year. In fact no such reflection will be possible at all unless members follow dutifully the injunctions of the' lurid note inside the cover of the CLUB PAPER published last October, stating that subscriptions were then due, and should be sent to the Treasurer at once. Up to this present time (April, 1915) only twenty-one members other than " present" students out of more than a hundred have paid their subscriptions for the current year, and the Treasurer would like to' take this opportunity of reminding the remaining hundred that the little red Notice was and will be the only notice that they will have to intimate that subscriptions became due' in October 1914.

LETTER FROM MISS MOBERLY. Dear Students, old and young, past and present,â&#x20AC;&#x201D;I cannot flatter myself that any of you are ignorant that I am no longer Principal of St. Hugh's College. After twenty-nine years, less one term, the appropriate moment came for me to give up the work which has been first in my thoughts and affections for so long. If I could not say that during my years of office the College had increased and prospered, it would indeed be melancholy, considering that we began with four students and now have over sixty. We began with very few friends and no Council ; now we possess many good friends and a large, kindly, and most efficient Council, desirous of furthering the College in all ways, which has secured for us beautiful buildings, educational success and good reputation. We cannot be sufficiently grateful to the President and to the Treasurer for all their kindness. It would be impossible to estimate the amount of time and trouble ungrudgingly taken by our Treasurer during these years of change in our legal status as a college, and in the worry of building under war conditions, and as executor to Miss Mordan's will. How well I remember the walk Miss Wordsworth and I took at Salisbury in 1886, just after her brother had succeeded my father as bishop ! We were walking together on the downs on one of the lower slopes of the Plain, looking at the Cathedral, with its glorious spire rising out of the Avon valley, when she propounded her scheme, and asked me to come as first Principal to St. Hugh's, and to build up the College. During the first year or two I was dependent on her advice and help and finance. She gave St. Hugh's the name of her patron saint, lent us money, and did more for us than I can write down. But the position was complicated for us both ; for St. Hugh's was from the first moment entirely independent, and had no official ties or allegiance to the Lady Margaret Council. The friendship of the two Principals was the link of union between the Colleges. This was for long misunderstood by the general public, and even by those more intimately connected with them. For five terribly anxious years I had to work without the support of a Council ; and even after 1891, when one was appointed, there were long years of difficulty. These difficulties, so deeply trying to the nerves, and calling for all the courage and confidence that could be mustered, were caused partly by myself, partly by others, and also by circumstances over which (I now know) I had no control, and was to some degree ignorant of. They can, happily, be all now forgotten ; we won through them. In thinking of the Council through twenty-four years, I remember with gratitude the personal kindness of so many who have had to re-

sign for various reasons, such as Sir John Hawkins, our first chairman ; Dr. Cosmo Lang (the present Archbishop of York) ; Mr. Prickard, of New College ; Mr. and Mrs. Graham Balfour ; Miss Pearson ; Mrs. Romanes, who gave us the chapel furniture and much besides ; Mrs. Thompson, always wise and encouraging. And those who have died — Mrs. Mackarness, widow of the late Bishop of Oxford, among the very first Council members ; Mr. Edward Gay, so munificent and endlessly kind ; Mr. Currie, afterwards Principal of Wells Theological College ; Mr. Holgate, an old Winchester and Salisbury friend, who never missed attendances, though he had to come from Salisbury ; Dr. Bigg, of Christchurch ; and Mr. Thompson, who wrote to me one year after the lists came out that he was as personally proud of our First Class as ever I could be. And some of our present Council members have been with us from the first. Mr. Nagel, Miss Rogers, Miss Wardale, and Dr. Lock have seen us through many financially precarious years whilst the College was gradually obtaining that footing in educational circles for which it was originally founded. Owing to limitation of room, the College fees did not for many years cover expenses. I go back to the memory of Ethel. Venables, our energetic third Vice-Principal, who took such pains with our tiny library, whose wedding to Mr. (now Sir John) Simon we all attended so happily, and whose death still comes to mind as an ever-present tragedy. And thinking of the students who have died, the memory of Dorothy Wordsworth, Winifred Inman, and bright little Nelly Stark is still fresh. This letter of reminiscences would not be complete without mentioning what I think of as the romance of Miss Mordan's love for the College. Miss C. E. Mordan was a strong Suffragist, and was greatly responsible for the original funds of the W.S.P.U., and for financing the first Suffragist procession in London. It was in 1901 —a very marked year to me—that she and her friend Miss Gray Allen came to Oxford to look over the women's colleges, incited thereto by a paper written by Miss Rogers on University education for women. The next day she wrote to me, saying that it was obvious that St. Hugh's was the College most in need of outside help, and enclosing a cheque for £1000 to found a Scholarship to bear her name, and imposing only one condition—that no student whilst holding the scholarship should practice Vivisection. The Council willingly accepted the condition, for the occasion was not likely to occur. From that time she became a great personal friend, and her interest in the College has been unflagging and disinterested and true. On her annual visits she asked many questions about St. Hugh's finance, enquired of me what large houses within grounds

were in the market, and, years before such a scheme was suggested to the Council, looked at the plans I had drawn for college buildings and gardens, calculating the probable cost, and saying that she meant to endow them. When I knew, in 1901, that our Council would not secure 28, Norham Gardens, which seemed to some of us a necessity at the moment, unless they had some promise of funds, a letter to her brought the answer that I had done well to write to her, for I " must know that she cared for St. Hugh's as much as I did." Enclosed was the promised loan of .4.1000, to belong to us in ten years. Sad as her loss is, no one would have enjoyed more than she the dramatic way in which the knowledge of her legacy to us saved the plan for the new buildings. A meeting of the Building Committee was to be held in the same week in which she died. Knowing myself to be an executrix of her estate, I ventured to write to the lawyer for particulars of the legacy. They arrived on the morning of the meeting, with the result that an unanimous vote was passed to carry out, in spite of war conditions, the whole of the original plan. The Council had met in the belief that, sad as it was to relinquish it, the War made it necessary to curtail the work. She has left to us not only sufficient for security for further necessary loans, but personal gifts. Having been a lovely girl, her portrait had been often taken by good artists ; two of these, of large size, as well as a miniature by Lucas, are now permanent and, much-valued possessions of the College. She has also left us the goodwill of her chief friend, Miss Gray Allen, who has taken her place on the Council, and has passed over to us books and small personal properties of Miss Mordan's, and is prepared to take a continued interest in St. Hugh's. If there is one thing of which I am proud, it is in having secured for the College the friendship and devotion of Miss Jourdain, who has been our Vice-Principal for thirteen yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;since 1902. In January, 1886, I visited Miss Wordsworth at Oxford, and at that time Eleanor Jourdain was a History student at L.M.H. My visit, which covered some weeks, would have been very dull but for the companionship which she was willing to give to the much older person, who was neither student nor don, and without any raison d'ĂŞtre in the place. At Easter in that year it was settled that in the following autumn I should come to start St. Hugh's ; and in the Summer Term I again visited L.M.H. and spent another fortnight in Eleanor's company. During that visit she often accompanied me to 25, Norham Road (taken for our first house), and helped to measure for curtains and carpets. That Tune she took her schools, being the first woman student to undergo the ordeal of viva voce. There were others taking schools, but her name began with J. and theirs with P. and S.

As you know, her sister Charlotte was the first student of St. Hugh's. Eleanor Jourdain left Oxford to take up work as Assistant-Mistress in different schools, and finally became HeadMistress at Watford. This school she built up herself, educationally and financially, out of nothing. It was a great success. By her clever finance and educational powers, she left it with fine buildings without debt on them, with more than a hundred girls bringing in a good income, a full staff of teachers, and an excellent reputation. We had scarcely met for fifteen years, when in 1901 we travelled together in France. In the following year, when I was looking for a new Vice-Principal, I found to my surprise that she was willing to give up her school, with all its success and interest, and to come to St. Hugh's, with the prospect of very hard work and a mere pittance for a salary. At that time Miss Wardale (an ex-vice-principal) was our only resident tutor, or don. She was kindly taking charge of 28, Norham Gardens, but wishing to become non-resident. What Miss Jourdain has been to St. Hugh's some of us have good reason to know. As a tutor in French her success has been marked ; bnt she has besides been at everyone's service, helping with her wide knowledge many students in many subjects. Her writings show her width of interests and views, and her twelve years' experience as the Head of a growing and prosperous institution has given her great knowledge of people and of detail in the practical management of a large and mixed household. Her lectures on philosophy have helped students reading for all the schools, whilst her gift of nursing and grasp of medical things have been invaluable. Her wise suggestions in advice, directness of rebuke, and unselfish care for one and all, have taught us what a good friend can be. Nothing affords me greater happiness than to think that Eleanor Jourdain is my successor. I owe her muchâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;so does the College. Her remarkable powers of organization prophesy good for our future. She and I have gone through too much together, and we have been friends too long, for us to part now, and we hope to continue to spend the vacations together. As a student of L.M.H. Miss Jourdain heard of Miss Wordsworth's scheme for St. Hugh's, and even then clearly foresaw the difficulties that would inevitably arise for the person trying to carry it out. Thus she has known the College intimately from its first inception, and can perhaps tell its story from the first nearly as well as I can; though for some years she lost sight of its details. There are other helpers who cannot be passed over in this retrospect. Miss Wardale, Miss Deneke, Miss Ady, and Miss Thomas have, besides undertaking the work of resident tutors, been willing to be leaders and housekeepers in the separate houses. In this, Miss Greenwood of Somerville, and Miss Skipworth of L.M.H.,

28 have participated. They knew that the position would be complicated, and from necessity ill-rewarded. An individual responsibility yet shared by others, in a way unique because confessedly temporary, has required judgment, tact, good temper, and a lively sense of the perpetual need of centralising to keep the College together as one body. I gratefully recall how energetically and kindly my coadjutors in this buckled to the work, which took up time and strength beyond what had to be given to the regular office of tutor. It has been done under most difficult circumstances from sheer loyalty to the College in temporary straits ; and I rejoice to think that the time is rapidly coming when all will be under one roof; the central authorities will be able to do their own work of oversight of the whole without complications, and an official domestic bursar will relieve the resident tutors of the additional burden of housekeeping, which had we been blessed with an adequate building would never have been imposed on them. This letter has become so long, that I have no room to speak of the friend of old Salisbury days who gave us the Ottley Scholarship and the means to turn ourselves from a Hall into a College. That change is really of the highest significance. By it the Council, the Staff, and the Students have legally become one body, working together and liable together for the success or the failure of St. Hugh's. On the Council are members of other colleges : Miss Greenwood, our secretary, Miss Kirkaldy, and Miss Powell are from Somerville ; Mrs. Haverfield is one of the staff of tutors, so was Mrs. Fisher, showing that the Oxford way of expecting people to have room in their hearts for more than one college has spread from the men's to the women's societies, The idea is university, no longer parochial. We too have given students, not only to our own staff, but to the staffs of L.M.H. and St. Hilda's, and to those of other universities, and we are confident that they likewise can be practically and deeply interested in several colleges at the same time. On our Council (and on the councils of all the women's University societies) are University men who in some cases have already at least two men's colleges to claim their loyalty, but yet are willing to give care and interestâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;yes, and loyalty to a woman's college as well. Here is the real spirit of large-heartedness which makes Oxford so happy a recollection and so attractive in its absence of party spirit and small jealousies. After all, what Oxford exists for is the education and civilization of the whole world, and this stands as the great background behind such subsidiary distinctions as castes and opinions, separate communities, and individual successes. When I began this letter I thought there would be nothing to say ; now I fear the Editor will wish that I still thought so. As long as

war exactions allow of it, I am hoping to live at 4, Norham Road. It is not necessary to say how glad I shall be to see old friends here. But please excuse my remarking that, in common with all busy people, I hope they will defer their visits to the afternoon. At any time then, and especially after 5 p.m., I expect as a rule to be free, also after 8.3o in the evening. Yours affectionately, â&#x20AC;˘ C. ANNE E. MOBERLY. 4, Norham Road, August, 1915.

OLD STUDENTS' SCHOLARSHIP FUND. REPORT. The Fund is now completing its twelfth year, and is hoping to offer its fifth Scholarship for competition in March, 1916. It may be of interest to those generations of Old Students who have not known the Fund from its infancy to hear something of the origins of the scheme, and of its history during the past twelve years. In 1903 a little group of Old Students, anxious to help the College in a way that would be both practical and permanent, proposed to found a Scholarship by means of annual subscriptions of 5s. and upwards. The promises of support which were received justified offering a Scholarship of JJ3o for three years, and not long afterwards the scheme was placed upon a more permanent basis. The Committee from the first made it their chief object to secure the best possible student for St. Hugh's, and they allowed no restrictions which might hamper the examiners in their choice. At first, the only condition made was that the successful candidate should read for the subject in which she had won her Scholarship â&#x20AC;˘' later, at the suggestion of the subscribers, it was decided that the holder of the Old Students' Scholarship would be expected to read for the full degree course. The record of the three Scholars who have passed through the Schools has been eminently satisfactory. Miss Ottley's Second in History, Miss Dobbs' Second in French, and Miss Ibberson's First in French have justified the Old Students in their effort. Obviously, the Scholarship scheme could not succeed unless it were supported by practically the whole body of Old Students : and if this were to be the case, it soon became apparent that the minimum subscription must be lowered. Subscriptions of 2S. 6d. and upwards are now the rule, and the sum collected each year has amounted

almost exactly to .4.30. Unfortunately the scheme has not been well taken up by the more recent Old Students, and it is with a view to enlisting their support that this short record of the Fund is written. If all Old Students could manage to subscribe for at least three years, the finances of the Scholarship would be set on a sure foundation. It is hoped that many Club members who are not already subscribers will avail themselves of the forms enclosed with the CLUB PAPER. Earlier generations of Old Students have set on foot a good piece of work for the College : it is for their successors to continue and develop it. CECILIA M. ADY, Treasurer. BALANCE SHEET, 1914.

SENIOR STUDENT'S LETTER. Dear Old Students,â&#x20AC;&#x201D;The past year has been an eventful one in the history of St. Hugh's, and I sit down to write about it with rather mixed feelings. When, one Sunday evening at the beginning of the Hilary Term, Miss Moberly announced to us that she had resigned her office as Principal of St. Hugh's, we received the news with deep regret, for we had all hoped that she would continue her work among us for many years to come. We were however cheered by the thought that our new Principal was to be someone whom we already knew as Vice-Principal, and who had rendered great and lasting services to the College. The fact that Miss Moberly intends to live in Oxford, and that we shall all be able to see her when we go back there, has helped to compensate in a large measure for the fact that we shall no longer find her at St. Hugh's. As you can imagine, the chief topic of conversation this past year has been the progress of the new buildings. Many have been the pilgrimages to St. Margaret's Road to watch them taking shape. How exciting it was when we were at last able to walk along the

36 corridors and inspect the rooms of the new St. Hugh's, even although there was nothing but the four bare walls to look at ! And in the Summer Term, when the beautiful garden was at the height of its glory, how we enjoyed rambling among the flowers, building castles in the air about all the things that were to happen when the new College should be finished. In spite of the delights promised by the new buildings, we all said good-bye to 17 Norham Gardens with real regret, for after all it is there that St. Hugh's has grown up, and it is there that Miss Moberly worked among us for nearly thirty years ; now we look forward to as splendid a record of work and service in the new St. Hugh's as in the old. But you will want some details about our doings this past year. When we met last October, we found a profoundly different Oxford. As far as we were concerned life went on very much as usual ; but the great energy with which socks and mufflers were produced in spare moments, and the click of knitting-needles at evening lectures, were the outward signs of the way in which we were helping our soldiers at the Front. Because there were fewer outside amusements than formerly, we had to organize our own, and it was wonderful how well we succeeded. The " Rose and the Ring " was acted with great success in the Michaelmas Term ; and last term the Second Year gave us a most amusing Variety Entertainment, in which a scene from " Mrs. Green " as well as some from the " Cautionary Tales " evoked much mirth from the audience. The proceeds of this entertainment were sent to a French military hospital at Foix, in which we were specially interested, because Gabrielle Lawson Lewis was nursing there. For the benefit of the " Schools " people, The Importance of Being Earnest was acted after the horrors of the papers were over, and was greatly appreciated by us all. The First Year had 22 members, and so numerous were we last October, that ten of our number had rooms at 18, Bradmore Road, two lived with Miss Wardale, and two at Ascham Lodge. So scattered were we that St. Hugh's began to be thought of as a " district " rather than a building ! We were greatly rejoiced when we won the Inter-Collegiate Tennis Cup this year, for, sad to relate, we are not strong in the athletic line at present. We much hope that the new First Year may provide us with some sporting members. We were very glad to have Miss Skipworth, of Lady Margaret Hall, with us last year, and wish her all success in her appointment as French Tutor at her own College. Last term Miss Bullen joined the Senior Common Room as Domestic Bursar, and the energy and ,

37 enthusiasm with which she entered into her new duties augurs well for the future success of St. Hugh's as far as household arrangements are concerned. With the resignation of our beloved Principal, the appointment of her successor, and the move into the new buildings, the year 191415 will ever be remembered as a momentous one in the history of our College. I can only close my letter by wishing Miss Jourdain and all who go with her into the new St. Hugh's the very best of good wishes for the future. VIOLET C. MURRAY. August, 1915.

f rom C. T. BAZELEY. Winforton, Hereford. August 5, 1915. For the last few years I have been taking up Agricultural wotk, Dairying especially, and since my mother's illness and death have been looking after things at home. Pigs are the most interesting animals on the farm and have great individuality ! What with these, the cows, lambs, calves, poultry, and other live stock, and cheesemaking, one's hands are very full, and as every spare minute is spent in war time extra gardening, friends will understand why letters are few and far between.—MOLLY BAYNES.

Monks' Risborough Rectory. I am afraid my P.C. will hold the record for dulness, as I have only gone on "as usual." Parochialia, &c. in a country village is my job, though during the winter we realized that the country was at war, as our usual quiet was disturbed by the excitement of having soldiers billeted on us. I have just been staying with Beatrice Twentyman, who is just the same as ever. Her second daughter, an attractive person of two years old, is my goddaughter.—E. BLAMIRE BROWN. Weston House, Cheltenham. I have very little news to give this year, for of course there is nothing going on anywhere except war work. Just now I am busy trying to make the children's holidays happy, and in term-time I am fully occupied in helping them with their lessons.—C. LILIAN BRAINE-HARTNELL. Castle Garden, Iffiey, Oxon. I am teaching in a small boys' preparatory school near Newcastle-on-Tyne. Little English and Scotch boys are a restful change after young Cossacks. But even with them life is fairly strenuous and very enjoyable. The post is " temporary during the war," and when I went there last September I scarcely expected to be there more than two terms. Now a fourth is beginning ! Best wishes to all Old Students.—L. BICKMORE. at 6o, Stradbroke Road, Southwold. August to, 1915. For the past two years I have been working at the Colchester Secondary School, and find the work very interesting, as the School is still young and all "in the making." It is curious going back after many years to teach in one's own old native town, but very pleasant to have old friends waiting to be kindly. An old Berkhamsted pupil has also joined the staff as Gym. mistress. Needless to say we feel very close to the war, and last term were nearly turned out of our buildings to become a military hospital. I hope more St. Hugh's people will find their way some day to this school.— G. CUNYNGHAME. P.S.—Last night there was an air raid over Lowestoft. Reports are very conflicting, but there seems to have been damage done and possibly lives lost, and we heard the anti-aircraft guns trying to drive the Zeppelins away. My father died in the Easter holidays, so I have left St. Margaret's, Bushey, to live at home. I am engaged to a doctor who is out at the Front.— G. EDWARDS. I am still teaching at St. Saviour's and St. Olave's Grammar School, so I have very little news to give. My chief excitement has been a move from South London to North London, which I find quite as fascinating as my old quarters. The street gamin in Hoxton slums is the most engaging and trustful of creatures.

40 He will walk up, for instance, to a benevolent female such as myself, and ask to have his shirt-sleeve pinned in, when it has been torn out in a battle royal. We have had many excitements in Hoxton, but fear of the Censor restrains me from publishing them !—TAE EPPSTEIN. I am leaving my present post at the end of this term, as my eldest pupil is grown up and the other two are going to school. I have therefore undertaken with many qualms to look after four Anglo-Indian children at Eastbourne, whose mother goes to join her husband in India in September. They are all girls, ranging in age from four to fourteen, so my experience ought to be vastly varied. The three eldest go to a day-school, so formal teaching will not be required of me. I foresee in the child of four the nucleus of a much modified and garbled Montessori School.—ROSALIND FARNELL. July 3r, 1915. Chesterton, East Grinstead. Probably the last postcard that I wrote for ST. HUGH'S CLUB PAPER would be equally true now. I am still Second Mistress at the Grey Coat Hospital, Westminster, and am in my eighth year of work there. This sounds very humdrum, but I can assure you it isn't. The G.C.H. is a delightful old school, and " custom cannot stale her infinite variety."—H. M. FEAR. August, 1915. St. Andrew's Club, 31A, Mortimer Street, W. " Happy is the nation which has no history." This last terrible year of war has been passed in school and parish work, and in knitting and working for our brave soldiers and sailors. May the longed-for peace soon come !—A. C. FOWLER. July II, 1915. 12, Clifton Park Road, Bristol. Although I have not been to Oxford for some years, St. Hugh's seems more within reach since we came to Clifton, for I am thoroughly enjoying the education of my daughters at Clifton High School, where at least three of the staff are old St. Hughites. I have been very busy with war work of different kinds, and have had much to do with Women Patrols in Bristol, and also with a scheme for training educated women to become Police Officers. If any Club members feel drawn to this new profession, I shall be delighted to supply information.—E. GENT. August to, 1915. "The Camp," Shenbarrow, Stanway, Winchcombe. E. T. B.'s illustration will give you a far better idea of how we live a complicated life up here than any words of mine can do. I can only say that existence in the ordinary way is child's play to this. It is however a very pleasant interlude between relieving distressed civilians and tabulating for the National Register.—R. W. GODDARD. August 11, 1915. Middle Claydon Rectory, Steeple Claydon, Bucks. I am at home at present, after spending two very happy terms at Holloway

College as Temporary Junior Classical Lecturer. I enjoyed the work and the beautiful surroundings of the College, which is near Windsor Park, and has 90 acres of grounds itsekf, from which one gets lovely views of Surrey scenery. I hope to spend next term in research work at Oxford, and I am busy learning German now, in order to read the necessary books. It will be very delightful to be in Oxford for three terms, and I hope to have opportunities of seeing old S.H.C. people. —M. L. GORDON. The Technical College, Huddersfield. My last postcard for the ST. HUGH'S CLUB PAPER was written in 190r. Can the interval be filled in on a postcard ? I taught at the Central Foundation Girls' School until July 1912, when I was appointed Head Mistress at the Warehousemen, Clerks, and Drapers' School, Purley. It was a quaint school, rife with old-fashioned customs, but it had beautiful surroundings. I left it in January 1914 to take up lecturing, and I am now Lecturer in English and Tutor of women students at the Technical College, Huddersfield. I have B.A. Intermediate and Matriculation Classes for men and women in the day time, and also have certain Evening Classes for Teachers and others who are interested in literature—and I have the control of all the women students. I have been disappointed never to have been able to attend Club meetings. I am so far away from town that it is impossible, but I look forward to the news of the next Paper, and especially to the Postcards. With good wishes to all students, and especially to those of my contemporaries whom I have lost sight of.—RosE E. HAMILTON. 21, Chelsea Gardens, S.W. June 3o, 1915. I am now living in London, and teaching at a delightful 1private school in Westminster.—E. M. HATCH. August 10, 1915. Redcar, Yorks. Have been spending a week in Miss Lodge's Camp. It's such a delightful airy form of restful energy, providing you do not object to earwigs. I came with certain misgivings, but am leaving with many regrets. Being in the state of the so-called happy country with no history, I have no more news.—E. HEADMAN. 8, College Green, Gloucester. July, 1915. I am ashamed of having lost touch to a great extent with St. Hugh's, and the fact of having a niece there at the present time ought to have saved me from this. It is certainly no fault of the said niece I but the claims of home, including three small children, do fill up one's life pretty completely. Since my last Postcard we have moved to a new home at Gloucester, where we now feel quite old inhabitants, and where I am always hoping to come across members (past or present) of St. Hugh's. Won't some of them take pity on me and look us up ? -EDITH A. HOBHOUSE.

42 July 14, 1915. 115, Eaton Square, S.W. I am just home for a holiday, having been nursing in a French Military Hospital in Nice for the last five months. I found the work most interesting, and the French Tommies so grateful, and I got so fond of them all, I hated having to come away. I shall not return there, but if I take up nursing again I shall find work to do in England.—H. C. HUNTER. Ainsdale Lodge School, Shore Road, Ainsdale, Southport. My husband and I have a Preparatory School for Boys, and considering the short time we have run it, have quite a flourishing affair. I teach all day myself, having a class of 13 of the younger ones. The work is most delightful, as all the boys are so keen and interested. We are just breaking up for seven weeks, sad to say, for this has been such a jolly term, what with baths and cricket.— BEATRICE E. GATES née B. E. LANGSTON. Owing to home claims I was obliged to give up my work at Queen Margaret's School last summer—to my great regret. We were not at home when Scarborough was bombarded on December 16, and for the present we are not going back there. Next term I hope to be in Oxford up to Christmas, and if any old St. Hughites are visiting Oxford I hope they will let me know, and come and see me at 14, Bardwell Road. We are quite near the new St. Hugh's Buildings, which are most beautiful, and it will be most interesting to see them inhabited next term.—WINIFRED M. MAMMATT. 17o, Banbury Road, Oxford. Since last year I have been living in various parts of London—in odd sorts of clubs, private houses, and, for a few weeks, at the Nelson Square Settlement. I was training at the Brixton and Newington C.O.S. Offices, paying visits and doing office work, besides spending a certain amount of time riding in buses and trams, and snatching meals in restaurants, etc. It was very convenient when the tram strike came ; it gave one an excuse for walking to and from one's work, or running if it happened to be dark ; though even then one ran a certain amount of risk of being taken for a runaway thief. One has to run in London to keep up with things. I have also been able to get some experience in Montessori Kindergarten work. I am now in Oxford. It is very nice to see the new buildings gradually getting finished.—M. A. N. MARSHALL. Winkworth Hall, Brondesbury Park, Kilburn, N.W. July 13, 1915. I have spent the year 1914-15 at the Maria Grey Training College. I have just taken the London Teachers' Diploma Examination, and am waiting for the results to come out. I have enjoyed the year very much, the theoretical and practical side are both so interesting. The process of training seems to me to be grossly misrepresented. After all I had heard I expected a most dreary existence at a place that was something between a school and a prison. I was

43 most pleasantly surprised. Life in London, too, during war time is anything but dull. As I sit in my room in the evening I can watch the frenzied action of ten searchlights. I have seen a good many S.H.C. people, including nearly all my own year. I much enjoyed a week-end at Oxford last term. The new buildings were at the plank and scaffolding stage, and afforded one excellent exercise. My brother is interned in the civilian prisoners' camp in Germany, at Ruhleben, but we hear very cheerful accounts of him. His wife and baby are living with us, and it is so nice having them. I am already making plans for the said niece's future, in which of course St. Hugh's figures largely I--PHYLLIS B. Muscarr. Roedean School, Johannesburg. December 20, 1914. Miss Higman and I feel very guilty at not having written you a P.C. for the Club Paper before, but we thought perhaps it might be better late than never. We like being out here immensely, and we have managed to see quite a lot of the country too. We spent last Michaelmas at an orange farm about 40 miles from Pretoria, and simply lived on oranges all day long. We only left just a fortnight before Beyers paid a visit to the adjoining dorp, and was closely followed by Botha. We have n't really felt much of the rebellion, and although the fighting has been so near that we have heard the guns, there has been absolutely no panic—I think because very few people have realized how serious it has been. We are now preparing for a very hot Christmas, and a Christmas dinner of ices and strawberries and cream. With much love to St. Hugh's from both of us. —E. ROECHLING. July 22, 1915. La Have, Co. Lunenburg, Novia Scotia. Dear Editor,—Your request for news has just reached me. I am still at Havergal College, Toronto, and still enjoying the change from English to Canadian school life. But as I am just now away on a holiday, and trying to forget the teaching profession, I will say no more of that. Owing to the war I am not coming home this summer, and instead am having a most delightful holiday in Nova Scotia. Three of us are leading the simple life together in a lonely spot on the coast with no neighbour but a lighthouse keeper. We have taken a little cottage and have hired just what was absolutely necessary in the way of furniture, i.e. three beds, three chairs, a table, a stove, and a lookingglass.' We live out of doors and spend a great deal of time fishing. We have a boat tied up just outside our front door, and often pack our food into it and spend whole days on the water. It is an ideal way to take a holiday, On my way back to Toronto I hope to see Janet McDermot and her little daughter.— Yours affectionately, MILDRED ROECHLING.

Bowden House, Harrow-on-the-Hill. I have been for thirteen months now Secretary to a Harley Street specialist, whose particular line is psychotherapy—i.e. treatment along psychological lines.

44 It is very fascinating work, and my former excursions into the field of philosophy prove quite useful in it. Although living quite close to London, I have seen sadly few College people—contemporaries, please note !—F. G. SUTTON. August 14, 1915. Claxhill House, Westbury-on-Severn. Just now we are with two of Hal's Rugby Sixth Form, picking plums for pay on a lovely ridge in Gloucestershire. Lorna has been left under the eyes of a godmother and grandparents. She is two and a half, and goes to Miss Lidbetter's Montessori class, where she is learning to love povcruch and I) yvpvccarucn. She now gaily pours out her own milk, and fetches some for us, and hands cakes at tea, not necessarily in her fingers. Most people take her for a boy at first sight, as her hair is not allowed to grow long—but dolls are her special joy.—C. G. W. SYMONDS.
