21095On letterhead of La Haule Manor Jersey. 11 August 1915. 4pp. 12mo. Bifolium. In fair condition lightly aged and worn with rust-spotting at foot and to one margin. An interesting document relating to the early days of women's admission to British universities. The recipient is the geologist Ernest Westlake 1855-1922 and the subject is his daughter Margaret Agnes Westlake who would become a diploma student at St Hugh's. Westlake's papers are held at the Museum of Natural History Oxford. Marett thinks it is 'a bother about your daughter not being able to enter Somerville but Somerville is not Oxford'. He suggests she try 'St Hugh's cheaper than S. and enlarging itself so likely to have vacancies; or why not simply enrol as a Home Student' He thinks he 'could get her admitted straight away as a student of anthropology; for Heathers showed me her essays and I thought well of them and could testify that she was of considerable ability'. Although this might not be the course 'I mean anthropology minus classical mods. or what not' she was 'set on' he thinks it would 'prove very stimulating and enlarging to the mind'. He cannot 'discuss the question whether anthropology would pay whether it would lead directly to a practical career and so on. All that is beside the point when it is a question of education – of growing a soul.' It is 'Time and opportunity' which will tell 'how far one's realized powers' will be pointed in the right direction 'but depend on it they make themselves felt for the bettering of human life somehow'. He concludes with the reassurance that there is 'plenty of work to be done by women anthropologists. I have two or three of them at work now – Mrs Czaplicka Maria Antonina Czaplicka 1884-1921 Polish anthropologist in Siberia for instance. Baldwin Spencer W Baldwin Spencer 1860-1929 Anglo-Australian anthropologist wants women workers in Australia. Money will be scarce after the war however.'

20292One on letterhead of Christ Church Oxford 2 July 1920; the other from 'Ch. Ch. Oct 30 no year '. From the papers of William Scoresby Routledge 1859-1939 Australian-born British ethnographer anthropologist and adventurer. Both items in good condition on lightly-aged paper but the first with a vertical closed tear at the base of one leaf. ONE: On letterhead of Christ Church Oxford. 2 July 1920. 3pp. 16mo. Bifolium. Routledge's silence he begins by stating led him to think that he was 'somewhere on the High Seas' but he has realised that it was due to a mistaken address 'in the Steward's Office Address Book where 'Conservative Club' has been written for 'Carlton Club'. 'How the mistake arose I cant imagine: for 2 years ago though the usual Clerk was away at the Wars the Steward had the services of a most excellent & business-like woman clerk whom I never found to fail in doing anything that I as Secretary had to ask her to do.' A description of 'the Gaudy' follows: 'We tried to fill the Hall but though I sent out 561 invitations there were only 198 diners.' He proceeds to tell an amusing anecdote about Venizelos then reaching the end of a turbulent period as Greek Prime Minister: 'Venizalos sic was our principal guest & he had consented to address us for 5 minutes in French as his English is not of easy flow when most dramatically a tweed-clothed man entered the Hall by one entrance from Common Room handed him a slip of paper which seemed to cause him much surprise & made him hurriedly rise briefly apologize to the Dean & at once disappear – doubtless as Lord Sumner said in an immediately following speech to give the Turk “a lesson in compulsory Greekâ€.' He hopes the 'Sti' to which Routledge is 'off' 'will prove to be savoury as well as pleasant and interesting'. TWO: 'Ch. Ch. Oct 30'. 3pp. 16mo. Bifolium. He does not know why 'any London Lodge shd charge you an extra Fee on joining it because you are not a Subscribing Member of any other Lodge at the time of so joining it. I expect Buckmaster has made a mistake.' As a consequence he is returning Routledge's guinea and has taken his name 'off the Lodge Books'. If Routledge does find that there are fees for having 'ceased membership with us but this I cant for a moment believe' he will arrange the matter for him. The letter ends with further talk of joining fees. Postscript: 'Still at bones' One on letterhead of Christ Church, Oxford, 2 July 1920; the other from 'Ch. Ch. Oct 30 [ no year ]'. hardcover
