The site of Mount Lee, Egham, consisting of ninety-five acres, was selected and conveyed to the trus-tees in May, 1876…. [Royal Holloway] covers more ground than any other college in the world, forming a double quadrangle measuring 550 feet by 376 feet… The recreation hall, with its superb collection of pictures, cost upwards of £90,000… There are all modern sanitary appliances, and complete systems of electric and gas lighting, and steam heating... The College and Sanatorium together have cost consider-ably over one million sterling, the munificence of the benefactions being altogether without precedent in this country. Observer, 20 June 1886

Keynote Speakers : Michael Hatt (University of Warwick) Alice Jenkins (University of Glasgow) Mary Poovey (NYU) Theodore Porter (UCLA)
