Her portrait is held in the Royal Holloway, University of London art collection.
[2] She was educated at the private Edinburgh Ladies' College and won an entrance scholarship to RHC in 1890, one of 32 students joining that year.
[3] (RHC entered students in examinations at one or both universities at the time, but Oxford did not award degrees to women until the 1920s, instead giving an indication of where they would have been placed if they did.)
After her student days at RHC she taught maths at Cheltenham Ladies' College from 1895 to 1907 becoming departmental head.
She became a close companion of the secretary to RHC's governors, Ulrica Dolling, who joined the staff in 1918.
