A BRIEF HISTORY
Girton College was founded on 16 October 1869 in Hitchin, thirty miles outside Cambridge. It was known as The College for Women. That it was founded for women was radical; that it was a College - with its own ethos, aims and autonomy - was key to its success. At the time, it was the only residential institution that dared offer degree level education to women. Only five students enrolled in the first year! It was, however, part of a wider, unstoppable movement seeking inclusion for women into all aspects of professional and public life; and it supported women to secure the education they required to win admission to degrees. It was a long journey, even after the move to Cambridge in 1873; but it was propelled by a strong sense of purpose among a self-governing community of scholars who knew they would succeed.
Girton: the College for Women
DEGREES BY DEGREE
Girton’s principal founders, Emily Davies and Barbara Bodichon, knew in their bones that that women could attain the same educational standards as men. Early in 1873 the first Girtonians passed the relevant exams and proved - year in, year out - that they too were capable of academic excellence. However it took years of campaigning and some notable defeats before, in 1948, Cambridge University finally yielded to the inevitable and allowed Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth (Queen consort to George VI) to receive the first degree granted by that University to a woman. Others followed and with that, Girton had fulfilled its foundational aim. That was, however, just the start of what the College for Women would achieve.

INCLUSIVE EXCELLENCE The challenge of inclusive excellence grew with the expansion of UK universities. As Girton changed with the times, becoming fully co-educational from 1979, it remained at the cutting edge of widening participation. Determined to break down artificial barriers to education for talented students, the College invested heavily in outreach using its relative autonomy to pilot, indeed pioneer, some important access initiatives. As a result, without compromising University-wide standards, nearly 70% of UK undergraduates are from state schools while one in five qualify for means-tested bursaries. One in four self-identifies as black or minority ethnic, and over one in five reports a disability. Widening participation is also about internationalisation. Pioneers from South and East Asia include Sarojini Naidoo (1879-1949), a poet who campaigned for women’s rights and was President of the National Congress Party in India and Madam Kwa Geok Choo (1920-2010), a founding member of the Peoples Action Party who helped craft the separation agreement between Singapore and the Malaysian Federation. Girton today recruits on a global stage and has over 100 current students from, as well as 660 alumni in, the Asia Pacific region.
A WORLD-CLASS EDUCATION Girton is a gateway to Cambridge University for under-represented social and geographical groups, offering all its students the experience ‘of being taught by the best minds in your field, and having access to the knowledge of renowned academics as supervisors.’* The small group teaching that makes Cambridge so special is a College responsibility, and Girton has taken a lead here too, creating career positions for world-class educators in underfunded subjects, and attracting Fellows from key University Departments to inspire students with a passion for learning and the courage to challenge ideas. Ten Fellows have won a coveted Pilkington Prize for teaching excellence in recent years, three of whom – Josh Slater, Martin Ennis and Stuart Davis – are here today.

Girton College Chapel Choir
Girton College Chapel Choir is an international-prize-winning choir of some 25 members, which has grown in prominence over the last ten years, due to its impressive musical standards, regular recordings, and ambitious, exciting touring schedule. During Full Term, the Choir sings liturgically in Girton's chapel three times per week, including Tuesday Compline, Friday Vespers, and Sunday Evensong. The Choir has a busy touring schedule, recent foreign tours having included Israel & Palestine, Canada, Portugal, Australia, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Japan, USA, Germany, Slovenia, France, Ireland, Switzerland and Spain.
Girton Choir also makes regular appearances at major churches and cathedrals throughout Britain; recent visits have included the cathedrals of Bristol, Ely, Lincoln, Canterbury, Exeter, Norwich and Lichfield, and Westminster Abbey. In 2018-19 the Choir sang services on trips to Salisbury Cathedral and St George’s chapel, Windsor Castle.
The Choir also benefits from collaborations with professional instrumentalists and their students at key British conservatoires including the Guildhall and Royal Welsh schools of music and drama featured on this tour, and engages in joint services with other College choirs throughout the year, most recently with the chapel choirs of Clare, Jesus, Selwyn, and St Catharine's Colleges, as well as with St John's Voices.
The College is most grateful to Mr Nelson Loh (2000, Economics) and Mr Terence Loh for generously supporting the Choir's tour to Singapore as part of Girton's 150th Anniversary
Celebrations in the Asia Pacific region.

The Choir records CDs on an annual basis, and have recently established themselves as practitioners of Renaissance polyphony accompanied by historic brass instruments; the most recent recording was made in summer 2018, and the Choir has recorded in places as far afield as Canada, Hong Kong, Switzerland and Japan.
