	Somerville College - University of Oxford - The College
		Mary Somerville (1780 1872), a twice-married Scot whose international reputation as a scientist was gained in the intervals of raising a family of five children, provided students with a formidable role model.
		In the 1890s the Somerville Council was prominent in an unsuccessful campaign to admit women to degrees; the success of the 1920 campaign owed much to the diplomatic skills and academic reputation of the then Principal, Miss (later Dame) Emily Penrose.
		As a mixed college, Somerville continues to take pride in its pioneering history, its traditions of academic excellence and public service, its scientific reputation, and its literary heritage, seeking to maintain and reinterpret for the 21st century its founders' commitment to the principle of equality of opportunity in education.

		She has avoided the facetiousness and patronising tone of some histories of the beginnings of university education for women; and, at the other end, her account of the abortive struggle to keep the college single-sex, more than a century later, is markedly judicious.' Mary Warnock, Spectator
