Sinopsis
Excerpt from As I Remember: An Autobiographical Ramble
Nothing is more striking in these pages than the rich variety of her interests. Clear thinking on deep subjects was her chief delight; but her mind was roomy enough to contain a keen love of rural nature, an interest in domestic and ecclesiastical architecture, in general literature, and especially in music.

Excerpt from As I Remember: An Autobiographical Ramble
This little book really needs no introduction. It speaks for itself, and reveals the character of the writer. The late Head of Girton College had one of the strongest intellects among the women of her generation. The treatise on Logic, of which she speaks so modestly, is considered by experts an important contribution to a science on which the outsider might suppose that there was not much new to be said. As a teacher of philosophy her work was naturally expository and critical rather than constructive, but her vigorous and lucid mind always made itself felt, both in lecture and in conversation.
Unlike some intellectual women, she was never formidable, but charming in every kind of company. Her love of children was a touching feature in an unmarried lady, and they loved her in return. This little autobiography bears witness to the simple and kindly nature of one who loved to keep her memory green for all the haunts and scenes of her own childhood, down to the time when she devoted herself with unswerving loyalty to the great College which will always cherish her memory. Tales of her wonderful generosity to the College and its members are current; but she would not wish this to be made public. It is, however, legitimate to say that her acts of kindness were made more gracious by the individual thoughtfulness and sympathy which they always showed; whether she was helping an impecunious student or making a present to a sick child, the personal note was always struck.
