Girton and Newnham Colleges

Abstract

SOME of your readers may perhaps be glad to help the natural science students of Girton and Newnham Colleges to raise about 800l., needed for a physical and biological laboratory. The present provision for practical work is very inadequate, and the number of students has largely increased, while the required money is not forthcoming. I have already received the following donations, and shall gratefully acknowledge any further help:— Mr. Charles Darwin, 5l. 5s.; Mr. Edward Dormer, 5l.; Mr. T. Newland Allen, 3l. 3s; Mr. William Fasseridge, 2l. 2s.; Anonymous, 2l.; Mr. Frank Dethridge, 1l. 1s.; Anonymous, 1l.; Mr. G. Eves, 1l.; Mrs. Eves, 1l.; Mr. R. Wilkinson, 1l, 1s.; Rev. C. T. Mayo, 1l. 1s.; smaller subscriptions, 4l. 15s. Any further particulars will be most willingly given.
