LETTERS AND NOTICES. The following letter, though known to us all, is inserted here for the sake of history :— " Dear Miss Moberly,—Now that the number of St. Hugh's students, past and present, will very shortly reach a hundred, we should like to commemorate the fact in some way which will show our loyalty to and affection for our Hall. And we are agreed that no way could be more fitting than that we should present the Hall with the portrait of our Principal. We are therefore writing to ask you to consent to sit for a portrait of yourself, and thus to add to the deep debt which the Hall and its students already owe to you.

"Earnestly hoping that you will be able to grant our request, "We remain, " Yours affectionately," (Signed by 82 Students).

Everyone will be glad to hear that Miss Moberly sat for her portrait to Mr. W. Llewellyn during the Christmas vacation. It had been his intention to send it to one of the galleries for exhibition, but owing to accidental circumstances this was prevented. The picture consequently arrived at the Hall earlier than was expected. Miss Wardale wrote a letter, on the part of the Committee, to the Council (due to meet at St. Hugh's the next day), asking their acceptance of the portrait. The Council passed the following resolution, to be communicated to the donors :" The Council very gratefully accept the portrait of Miss Moberly, as a gift to the Hall from past and present students, and desire to associate themselves with the students in their gratitude to the Principal for her devoted services from the time of the foundation of the Hall, which have been attended with such marked success."

The picture is placed in the centre of the dining room wall, facing the fireplace ; and though, of course, it is the subject of much controversy, the general verdict is distinctly favourable. It is a clever picture, and on the whole an excellent likeness, and those who see it most constantly agree that it grows upon them • greatly.

My dear Students, past and present, Up to this time my only answer to the kind letter received from you on the subject of the picture has been the practical one of doing as I was bid. But now that the picture is a fait accompli, I must say how greatly I appreciated your words of loyalty to St. Hugh's. For the personal form chosen by you to express it, I thank you heartily. No one knows better than myself that no effort on my part for the success of the Hall would be of much effect but for the cordial co-operation of the students, who really hold its prestige and reputation in their hands. At the same time, such a letter as the one you addressed to me is a real encouragement to make every possible effort for its welfare.

In all love and loyalty to St. Hugh's and its students, I remain your affectionate C. A. E. MOBERLY. Oxford, June 9th, 1899.

The Secretary for the Old Students' Society for the Settlement, St. Margaret's House, and the Oxford Mission to Calcutta, thinks it right to offer a report of the position in which the Hall stands to these societies :— University Settlement, Southwark.

Though no doubt many have at one time belonged and fallen away, at present the following are the only subscribers :L. Mitchell, D. Abdy, L. Eakin, E. Olivier, J. Emmerson, G. Parsons, H. Fear, L. Portsmouth, H. Hudson, M. Rice, C. Jourdain, Mrs. Simon, A. Malone, E. Wardale, W. Mammatt, J. Watson, E. Matravers, A. Wilson.

Perhaps the absence of any Hall organisation for reminding old students of the urgent necessity for retaining their membership if the Hall is to be represented on the Settlement Committee may partly account for the melancholy fact that the hundred students of St. Hugh's are represented by eighteen persons. This Settlement has a special claim on our support, since it is the philanthropic work which the women's colleges of Oxford and Cambridge started and undertook to work together ; and it is sad that our numbers should grow so slowly, and that we should still be so far from the fifty members required to gain our Hall a recognized place in the Settlement work.

In future, subscriptions may be paid through the Hall Secretary, and all the aforesaid members (with the exception of L. Mitchell, who, being on the high seas, has not yet answered) have agreed to pay their annual subscription of 5s. in March.

St. Margaret's House, Bethnal Green.

This is by no means a rival to the Settlement, as will be seen by comparing the lists. Subscriptions for it were started in the Hall two years ago, and it was felt, for many reasons, that interest in it would increase, rather than diminish, the prosperity of the cause of the University Settlement in the Hall. The following are the members, and they too have agreed, in future, to pay their subscriptions in March, the minimum amount being sixpence :D. Abdy, C. Joel, E. Penny, C. Barter, M. Rice, M. Burnett, Mrs. Simon, L. Eakin, M. Simpson, H. Fear, E. Grattan, G. Steer.

H. Hudson, The Oxford Mission to Calcutta

was the Mission chosen by the Hall two years ago, as through its special University character it has, among foreign missions, a unique claim to support from Oxford women students. The following old students are at present members. It is hoped the list will become more representative of the past students now

,

that it is known to all that the Hall is helping to support the Mission :C. Joel, D. Abdy, E. Olivier, C. Barter, E. Penny, M. Burnett, M. Rice, L. Eakin, Mrs. Simon, H. Fear, M. Simpson, E. Grattan, G. Steer.

H. Hudson, Members will be glad to know that there will be an Anniversary Festival held next Epiphany-tide in St. Saviour's, Southwark. The Intercession Service will be held at St. Mary's, Graham Street, in November. Unfortunately, the annual meeting on June 13 will be over before this paper appears.

Up to the present time, as there has been no organization for Old Students, we have none of us received leaflets or notices, but in future the Oxford Secretary (Miss Donne) has kindly promised to send them regularly to our members. The Secretary for the Old Students will send Miss Donne, quarterly, a complete list ; members are therefore asked to keep her fully informed of all changes of address.

The Secretary for the Old Students would like to take this opportunity of thanking the members of all three Societies for their kind answers to her letters, and for the hearty way in which they have all cooperated with the new scheme.

M. A. RICE. As an ex-Secretary at St. Hugh's for the Women's University Settlement, I have been asked to write and urge old members to continue their membership, and new students to become members.

How often it was said at St. Hugh's, in my day, that the Settlement was " dull." We knew little of, and cared little for, its work. Our meetings were badly attended and unenthusiastic, and, as such, compared badly with the keen interest shown at the Oxford House meetings to which we went. But this, obviously, ought not to be, for was and is it not our Oxford House ? It is primarily and professedly a Settlement carried on by University women, and as such is necessarily mainly dependent on them for support. This great lack of interest in the Settlement which was, and still is, as I am informed, the case at St. Hugh's, I think is partly accounted for by the fact that our Hall, because of its backwardness in giving support, is not yet recognised as one of the regular props upon which the work rests for support, and we have therefore no representative on its Committee of Management. When the number of our members has reached 5o we shall be allowed this representative, who will make herself thoroughly acquainted with the Settlement, and, by passing on her knowledge and interest, will bring us into close contact with it.

It is well known that the failure of so much philanthropic work is due to a want of definiteness and organization ; and the establishment of Settlements to do a definite work in a definite district, and to be mainly supported by a definite part of the community, was a movement to meet this difficulty.

If we consider this, I think it is obvious how great a claim our Settlement has upon us as University women. If we disagree with its methods, let us alter them ; if we have reforms to propose, let us do so ; but do not let us shirk that which, to some extent, is our responsibility until, as a small community, St. Hugh's takes upon itself some separate and nearer

responsibility. The new arrangement by which we members of the Club subscribe to the Settlement through our Charities' Secretary, Miss Rice, ought to help us. It is difficult to remember when our annual subscription is due, and we shall be reminded. In 1896 we had about 4o members of the Settlement.

St. Hugh's has reached its tooth student : surely the work which the Hall professes to support will soon reach its loth member. Is not our practice to be worth half our professing ?

AGNES WILSON. Women's Education in Japan.

It is thought that those who have contributed money to enable Miss Tsuda to visit England will like to know some details of her stay amongst us, and to realize how fully their kindness has been appreciated .

Miss Tsuda reached this country on Nov. 12.

Through the kindness of Miss Beale and Mrs. Burrows, one Term has been spent by her at St. Hilda's Hall, Oxford, and thus a real insight has been gained into the higher education of women. She also visited the sister University of Cambridge, and was much interested in the women's colleges there. A good deal of Miss Tsuda's time has been spent in visiting girls' schools in different parts of the country, and in acquiring information about educational matters; and everywhere she has been cordially received. There have also been many opportunities for visiting famous buildings and places, and in all these she has taken the deepest interest, and her keen intelligence and warm appreciativeness have made her a delightful companion.

More money having been subscribed than was needed, the remainder was spent in a present of English books, which may form a nucleus for a Lending Library for Japanese girls and women—a scheme which Miss Tsuda has greatly at heart.

A letter from the Japanese Minister in England shows that the arrangements made for Miss Tsuda have had the approval of her Government, while her own letter, written two days before her departure from England, contains a warm - hearted expression of gratitude. .

St. Hugh's Hall, Oxford, June loth, 1899.

Dear Old Students, I was much alarmed yesterday evening, in the course of a friendly conversation with the Editor, at the startling news that a letter must be produced before Monday. However, the feeling of esprit de corps is so firmly established in the Hall that I have had no difficulty in collecting contributions from different members. The chief interest of this letter will therefore be the varied epistolary styles. Schools, like a great cloud, have dominated everything, more or less, the whole Term ; but during the last fortnight the atmosphere has been most oppressive. We have had seven people in, this Term—quite a large proportion for St. Hugh's—two for History, four for English, and one solitary person for Mathematical Mods.

We had a positively grilling week for the Schools —heat such as Oxford has not known for six years.

In fact, one day was so unbearable that the men began to tear off coats and waistcoats, and had to be requested by the Examiner to kindly replace their gowns.

This heat, though trying from an examination point of view, was useful in compelling people to go on the river, and boats were filled with the listless and prostrate forms of many victims, who had poured out all they knew, or did not know, on the examination papers.

Other things (though it is difficult to realize the fact) have taken place besides Schools.

We have lost Miss Venables. Though we rejoice at her happiness, we feel at the same time that we have a certain grudge against Mr. Simon for depriving us of her. Miss Venables was always a most loyal supporter of the Hall, and she has done much more for it than can be expressed in this letter. The Library, the chief object of her affections, with its handsome new shelves, speaks for itself. We must take this opportunity of offering her our warmest thanks. A pleasing excitement pervaded the Hall on May 24, as everyone went to the marriage at SS. Philip and James' at two o'clock. The week throughout was wet and stormy, and not even the proverbial Queen's weather made Wednesday all that the possessors of new muslin dresses desired. However, the middle of the day was fairly bright, and, after lunch, variously arranged couples of students were seen wending .their way towards Woodstock Road. The church rapidly filled, three old students (Miss Malone, Miss Mammatt, and Miss Joel) being among those present. The bride in her white dress and beautiful Honiton veil, and the bridesmaids in eau-de-nil and white chiffon, made a most charming procession. The hymns chosen were " Now thank we all our God " and " Praise the Lord, ye heavens adore Him "; and, of course, the usual wedding marches were played.

Mrs. Venables afterwards held a crowded reception at the Randolph Hotel, at which All Souls and Wadham were largely represented, the Warden of All Souls (the new M.P. for the University) being among the number.

St. Hugh's Hall, Horne Students, and others who have had much to do with the A. E. W. Office during Miss Venables' secretarial days, also came in force. The bride's arm must have ached for many an hour after the numerous handshakes required of her, but we hope the good wishes counteracted the pain. We send Mr. and Mrs. Simon our very best wishes for their happiness and success in the future.

We are glad to welcome Miss Hayes Robinson

as our new Vice-Principal. Many of the old students, especially those who took History, will remember her at St. Hilda's.

This Term is indeed one of big events. Miss Moberly's portrait has arrived, and now hangs, in all its glory, on the dining room wall. So many criticisms have already been made on this picture that it is impossible to make one in which everyone will be unanimous. We hope that the old students will come and judge for themselves.

The annual meeting of the Oxford House was held this term in New College Hall. Mr. Wilson gave a good account of the past year's success, making an urgent appeal for more workers, and especially for laymen who could give several years to the Oxford House. The other speakers were the Master of Pembroke (Bishop Mitchinson) and Lord Aberdeen.

A very well attended and successful meeting of the Oxford Mission to Calcutta took place in Trinity College Hall, May 2o. The chief speaker was Mr. Whitehead, Bishop-elect of Madras and the late head of the Mission. The Dean of Christ Church and Mr. Furse, of Trinity, also spoke.

As is usually the case, the Summer Term has been somewhat detrimental to the indoor societies, though those which take us beyond our four walls have been supported with more zeal than ever. The Shakespeare Society was prudent — perhaps overprudent—and decided to reserve its energies for next Term. The Browning Society has valiantly held together, and, in spite of the almost irresistible temptation of cushions and books on the lawn, its meetings on Sunday afternoons, though not exactly thronged, have amply justified its continuance. Much of its success must be attributed to its energetic President, whose loss this Term we much regret.

The bicycle shed has been over-full, and we have had to avail ourselves of the hospitality of Lady Margaret to put up two for us. The man who used to clean them so well last Term found other work, and his successor, when at length found, proved to be stone-deaf, so the harrassed Secretary has had an exciting time in transmitting to paper the various complaints of the owners.

The Tennis Club is in a most flourishing condition with regard to numbers, and though we have to record two defeats by Lady Margaret and Somerville against the victory over St. Hilda's, we may hope for better things next year, as several members are " coming on." We have a new net for the grass court, and the old one has gone over to the gravel one for the winter. The Architectural Society is thriving—more than thriving. It loses the bracing influence of its energetic President, alas ! this Term. Picnics have been numerous. To-day the English School are having the honour of entertaining their Senior Examiner (Dr. Wright) on the river. For a brilliant account of Sharp Practice I must refer you to the pages of Fritillary.

St. Hugh's has been troubled this Term by two most unwelcome visitors, in the shape of a pair of white fan-tailed pigeons. They boo and coo incessantly from dawn till dark, with the result that the weary student loses three hours' refreshing sleep in the early morning, and is rendered almost frantic over essays and proses. A barrel-organ, howling cats, anything is better than the never-ending groans and gurgles of the white fiends. One Schools victim has especially suffered : vengeance in this case would be unspeakably sweet. The said victim feels that the capture of

the pigeons and their translation into a pie would be

a fitting close to an Oxford career, and would not be

only a personal satisfaction, but a universal benefit.

Fellow-sufferers, heartily support this verdict. May success be to the bold !

We have been very fortunate in visits from old students. W. Mammatt, M. Rice, C. Joel, D. Abdy, F. Stoton, A. Malone, V. Cooper, C. Barter, J. Simpson, M. Simpson, P. Bird, L. Ash, and M. Bulkeley have all stayed either at the Hall or in Oxford. We were all much delighted last week by a flying visit from Mrs. Simon.

Owing to the great kindness of some friends of the Hall and the fact that we now have an offertory at our terminal celebration, a Chapel Fund has come into existence. This has enabled an order to go forth for the completion of the second of the painted windows.

It is hoped that the fund will grow so as to enable us some day to make the chapel beautiful.

And now I feel that it only remains for me to send you hearty greetings and best wishes from all the present members of St. Hugh's Hall.

MIRIAM LANGSTON (Senior Student).

A letter from Edith Owen, received June 7, told of her safe arrival in South Africa :—" The voyage out was simply perfect in every way. We were tossed about in the Bay, melted to a jelly in the Tropics, and kept alive only by perpetual fanning and drinking of iced drinks, and then cooled and generally revived by the south-east Trades. Cape Town was beautiful, we stayed there four days and saw a great deal of the neighbourhood. Mabel Flamsteed told me a great deal that was useful and cheering-about Grahamstown, where she had recently stayed. We landed at Port Elizabeth and had a peep at Margaret Birley. I shall hope to see her again before very long. The railway journey was most beautiful, and the sudden view of Grahamstown that we came upon at a turn of the road, after nearly eight hours of travel through wild and utterly deserted mountain country, with nothing but range upon range of distant hills and grand passes and valleys to be seen, I shall never forget. It is a lovely place, and I think that the • work is going to be

absorbing in every way. There is so much to be done, and so very much to hope for."

Lona Mitchell is on her way to Johannesberg, where she has a teaching appointment, but she has not been able at present to give us any address.

F. Etlinger, who in former years was a chief agent in enabling St. Hugh's to win, for two successive years, all its tennis matches, and brought the cup to the Hall from Wimbledon the first year that Oxford and Cambridge women played for it, is still covering herself with glory. Last week she won the Irish Ladies' Singles Championship at the Fitzwilliam Club.

She is also the conductor of a ladies' orchestra in Dublin, which has given some, excellent concerts and is highly spoken of.

Our new Vice-Principal and resident tutor is Miss Margaret Hayes Robinson, of St. Hilda's Hall.

She gained a First Class in Modern History last summer, this being the last of a series of successes in various examinations. Since coming to St. Hugh's she has been appointed an Association tutor in Honour History. We welcome her very heartily to St. Hugh's, and trust she will find room in her heart to care very specially for two Halls. This is the third instance of a student of one Hall becoming a tutor in another, Miss Burrows and Miss Lees (both of L. M. H.) passing to St. Hilda's and Somerville—the former as Vice-Principal and resident tutor, the latter as resident tutor. It is not necessary to say that this is in accordance with the practice in the men's colleges, and ought to help students, of whatever Hall or College, to feel themselves part of one community.

The next Club meeting will be on Saturday, July 22, at 65, Warwick Square, London. It is to be hoped that it may be a good meeting. Five Committee members, who were elected for one year (see the Constitution), retire, and their places will have to be filled at the July meeting.
