Letter to Reginald McKenna

The meeting at the Memorial Hall - 'Both Perks & Hollowell openly threatened a rebellious campaign in the country'. The clause relating to the payment of fees is 'the danger point of the Bill'. Lloyd George refused to accept the Secretaryship for the sake of Wales - 'Have we not always been looking for a strong man to lead us? Now we have him - for who can approach him? He has his faults & he makes mistakes, but he is the leader of our race & we ought to strengthen his hands'.

Ruth Lewis.

'One of the second generation of women students at Newnham College, Cambridge. The University refused to grant degrees to women, although they could attend lectures & take examinations. Finally Trinity College, Dublin, in need of funds, granted MA degrees to women who had passed the necessary exams'.

Dublin,

'Dublin, c.1908? When R[uth] L[ewis] graduated c.1894 at Newnham College, Cambridge refused to recognize the degrees of women. So Trinity College, in need of funds, offered, for a consideration (£20, I think) to give them degrees. Thus she became MA, Dublin. She was treated with great honour, since John Herbert Lewis was a Whip - i.e. a "Lord of the Treasury", & they thought he might be able to get a grant for the College'.
