This short history of Girton College is based as regards earlier years (Chapters I-V and part of Chapter VI) on my book, Emily Davies and Girton College, published in 1927 by Messrs Constable. For the later chapters I have drawn on the Annual Reports of the College; the Girton Review; letters from Miss Davies and Miss Metcalfe to Madame Bodichon, lent by her nephew, Mr Valentine Leigh Smith; letters to Madame Bodichon from Miss Marks (Mrs Ayrton), lent by her daughter, Mrs Ayrton Gould; and information supplied by the Librarian of Girton, Miss McMorran, and by the Secretary, Miss Clover, and her assistant, Miss Peace: to all of whom I offer my thanks. I must also thank the Mistress of Girton, Miss Jex-Blake, Miss Major, and Miss Bacon, for criticisms and suggestions.
