Newnham is one of the 31 colleges of the University of Cambridge (see map). We have 370 undergraduates, 285 graduate/postgraduate students, and about 70 academic staff. The College is set in beautiful gardens with adjoining sports field and tennis courts, just across the road from the University's Sidgwick site and about 10 minutes' walk from the historic centre of Cambridge.The College was established in 1871 as one of the first women's colleges (Girton preceded us by only two years). Newnham is still a women's college, and the only undergraduate college with an all-women Fellowship. Newnham was established in 1871 as a house in which young women could reside while attending lectures in Cambridge, long before they were allowed to become full members of the university with the granting of degrees to women in 1948. Gill Sutherland's history of the college, from its foundation in 1871 until the present day, also contains photos from the archives, and we have added to this a very brief history of the education of women in Britain. We also have a short series of "Newnham biographies", in which members of the College and our friends attempt to convey some of the character of those who have been important to our history. We have attempted to summarise the achievements of some of our more recent notable alumnae.
