Ann Small or Ann Hunter "Annie" Small (26 December 1857 – 7 February 1945) was a Scottish missionary to India and a Scottish educationist who trained women to work in Christian missions.
[2] In October 1894 Small applied her knowledge as the first principal of the Women's Missionary Training Institute (later renamed St Colm's College).
Drawing on the independence she had learnt in Walthamstow Small encouraged her charges to develop themselves and not just to follow some pre-defined formula for becoming a missionary.
The institute attracted students of different denominations and from Switzerland, Germany and Scandinavia.
Her mother assisted until she became too ill and Small took an extended leave to care for her.
