Ms text of a speech given by AD in Edinburgh [September 1960?] [at St George's School? - Jean Lindsay became headmistress there in 1960] entitled 'Cambridge Today'. Touches on developments in Cambridge such as Churchill College, New Hall, Fitzwilliam College, and the Sidgwick Avenue site; also the status of women undergraduates, including a reference to Union Society membership remaining exclusively male and references to the social lives of women undergraduates, marriage patterns on going down from Cambridge etc. As Girton College Praelector - 'my only regret is that the Syndicate decided against giving to women Praelectors the title of 'Mother of the College', to correspond to the title of 'Father of the College', which is borne by their masculine colleagues'.
