Marianne Bernard (12 February 1839, in Bristol – 9 April 1926, in Bristol) was Mistress of Girton College, Cambridge from 1875 until 1884.
[1] Bernard was educated at the Home and Colonial Training College.
[2] Her appointment as Mistress was not unanimously welcomed within Girton,[3] as some felt her social position had swayed the decision: her maternal uncle was the Viceroy of India from 1864 to 1869.
[4] She left in 1884 to marry Peter Wallwork Latham,[5] Downing professor of medicine at Cambridge, going on to hold a position on the college executive committee until 1924.
