Marianne Bernard
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. from 1910 until 1925.[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.[6]
