I have renamed this page "Bedford College (London)", and the turned the Bedford College page into a dismbiguation page with links to this page and Bedford College (Bedford).

For a while, this page was named "Bedford College (University of London)", but I think "Bedford College (London)" is more appropriate as it was not a University of London college for the whole of its history.

Yup but the page was moved incorrectly. There is a process for renaming pages; I shall move it correctly for you :). We can't keep this page as it has no history and therefore doesn't attribute the previous contributors for their contributions. Seraphim♥ Whipp 00:07, 7 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

First British institution partly run by women

edit

I have replaced "First British institution run by women" with "First British institution partly run by women" in line with the reference to Elizabeth Jesser Reid's ODNB article. The article explains both men and women served on the early committees that ran the college. Also Eliza Bostock, Jane Martineau and Eleanor Smith were not the first women involved in the running of the college. Pinging User:Victuallers for comment as I see you added some references to the article in 2020. TSventon (talk) 15:32, 7 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Thanks - I see Reid's article says 1st "British institution had women sharing officially in its direction"... so maybe "partly directed by" ?? Victuallers (talk) 15:59, 7 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Thanks Victuallers, done. I am also considering moving the "Bedford firsts" to the talk page as they are mostly still unreferenced (and Fourth woman chairman of the TUC isn't a first). Do you know if any Women in Red editor would have access to A History of Bedford College for Women, 1849-1937 by Margaret Janson Tuke? It confirms a lot of the article content, but Google Books only has snippet view. TSventon (talk) 17:12, 7 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
