RUSSELL AND TRINITY is the obvious association for anyone who is asked about Russell's life at Cambridge. It was to Trinity that he went as an undergraduate in 1890, where he won a prize fellowship in 1895, was engaged as a lecturer in 1910 and from where he was dismissed in a cause celebre in 1916 for his pacifist convictions. He returned from time to time over the years to give lectures until he was finally elected to a fellowship in 1943. Yet Russell was associated for a number of years with another college at Cambridge-Newnham, the women's college founded by one of his undergraduate lecturers, Henry Sidgwick. A previously unpublished document by Russell has recently come to light detailing his concerns over the situation of the Newnham staff. Newnham College began very modestly in October 1871 with the gathering of five young women under the tutelage of Anne Clough at a house on Regent Street, Cambridge, purchased by Sidgwick. 1 Lecturers at the College in the 1890S included Miss Martin (later Mrs. James Ward), Miss Merrifield (later Mrs. Arthur Verrall), and Miss Crofts (later Mrs. Francis Darwin). James Ward would become one of Russell's teachers in 1894 when he was studying moral sciences at Trinity. The Verralls and the Darwins became friends of Russell. By 1892, when Mrs. Sidgwick was installed as principal of Newnham, the College had achieved an impressive level of academic standard, although women were not allowed to proceed to degrees for many years to come. Another women's college, Girton, had developed at the same time
