[Box 12] 'Mercier Papers'
GB 2830 BPL/MER · Series · 1916 - 1933
Part of Beckett Park Library Collection

The majority of this material dates from around 1916 and records the resignation of Vice-Principal Winifred Mercier, the 'talk' to residential staff given by James Graham, Secretary for Education at Leeds, and the resulting resignation of nine women tutors from the College. It includes copies of letters among the key players in the so called 'scandal' news paper clippings relating to the events and reports from the Board of Education.
