important post of Warden and General Secretary of the London School of Medicine for Women which owed so much to her wise judgements and prompt action in a time of crisis during the Second World War. She became expert in the organization of large-scale student evacuations and air raids made constant demands on her capacity for making swift decisions. As she grew older her love of pioneer work seemed to grow stronger rather than weaker, and it is impossible to over-estimate what the new Physical Training College at Wentworth Woodhouse, of which she was first Principal, owes to her strong leadership and high standards in establishing its first traditions. It was again this pioneer spirit and unfailing courage which carried her to Khartoum, there to use her imagination and understanding of the student mind in a wider international field as first warden of the Hostel for Women Students at the University. All these achievements will ever remain as a permanent memorial to her, but to those of us who were her friends at Oxford the most vivid memory is of those timeless qualities which belonged so essentially to Nancie's personality. Her spaciousness of mind, her creativity, her infectious gaiety and humour— these were the qualities which gave her her zest for life and her power of enjoying each new experience to the full. We remember with happiness her wide tolerance and generous appreciation of the achievements of others, but also her swift indignation when her sense of justice was aroused. She loved people and no one knew better than she how to bring out the best in them, but for all her delight in good conversation, and interesting personalities, she never lost touch with the homeliness of little things, and her enjoyment of the company of children was one of her most endearing qualities. Her loyalty and devotion to Oxford and to her old College brought her back to many Gaudies, there to renew old friendships and to make fresh contacts. Few of our Senior Members can have served their generation more faithfully, or have established over so wide a field our most treasured traditions. D. R.
