  • 1 'Women Students at UCL in the Early 1880S' Charlotte Mitchell This
    ‘Women students at UCL in the early 1880s’ Charlotte Mitchell This paper was a discussion of a sample of about 175 women students who all attended lectures given by Henry Morley, professor of English Language and Literature at UCL, during the academic years 1881/2, 1882/3 and 1883/4. The records of former students at UCL are not very accessible, and they have not been much studied. Though many schools and universities have compiled and often even published lists of previous students, UCL has no overall list of those who registered, although a MS list exists for the period 1828-1868 and a file of index cards covering approximately the period 1900-1950 (which includes some earlier students). For the period 1868-1900 we fall back on the MS Annual Fee Books and the annual volumes of the University of London Calendar. By diligently searching these sources it is possible to discover the bare names and addresses of those who registered at the college in any particular year. However, recent developments in technology, especially the digitization of the census returns, have made it possible to assemble information on residents of Victorian England much more easily than was possible even a few years ago. It proved possible to compile mini-biographies of almost all of the women who registered for Morley’s English classes in these years, and before long I had a database of 30,000 words of intriguingly miscellaneous data. My paper was an attempt to answer the questions: who were these women, what were they doing at UCL, and what became of them afterwards? One early problem was defining a group to study.
