Marianne Bernard
Educator, mistress of Girton College (1839–1926)
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, going on to hold a position on the college executive committee until 1924.[6]
During her tenure she guided the college through ongoing construction of the college facilities and an outbreak of smallpox in 1878.[7]
