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'.

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'.
