ABSTRACT

This article concerns the educational philosophy of S. Margery Fry (1874–1958) and its impact upon the design, organisation and functions of university residences for women in the twentieth century. According to Carol Dyhouse, Fry, the only woman on the University Grants Committee from 1919 to 1947, ‘exerted considerable influence over the shape of provision for women across the country’. Taking a biographical approach based on Fry’s personal papers and institutional archives, this article explores her ideas and locates the origins of them in her early experiences, both as a student and subsequently as the first warden of University House, Birmingham.

摘要

本文涉及 S. Margery Fry (1874–1958) 的教育理念及其对 20 世纪女性大学宿舍的设计、组织和功能的影响。根据卡罗尔·戴豪斯 (Carol Dyhouse) 的说法，弗莱是 1919 年至 1947 年大学资助委员会中唯一的女性，“对全国妇女的供给形式产生了相当大的影响”。本文采用基于 Fry 的个人论文和机构档案的传记方法，探讨了她的想法并在她早期的经历中找到了这些想法的起源，无论是作为学生还是后来成为伯明翰大学大厦的第一任院长。
