Should 'Libby Purvis' be Libby Purves? —Preceding unsigned comment added by ZephyrAnycon (talk • contribs)
Hostels edit
Religious edit
An IP editor or editors have added information on the Anglican Springfield St Mary and the Roman Catholic Sacred Heart hostels based on an oral history project.[1] Obviously living alumnae can only report on 20th/21st century history, not 19th. The Encyclopaedia of Oxford says that "In 1908 a hostel for Catholic students was founded at Cherwell Edge, to be followed by Springfield St Mary (Anglican) on the BANBURY ROAD."[2] It could be useful to mention the hostels on the articles on the religious organisations as well as here.

Other edit
A paragraph on Home Students living at Wychwood School has just been added. According to the National Portrait Gallery, London website "there were usually a few young women living there while reading for various examinations",[3] but that quote does not mention the Home Students or show that the school was important as a hostel. The following two reference quotations do not mention the Home Students. The History of the University of Oxford mentions St Hilda's (now St Hilda's College, Oxford) and St Kentigern's as early women's hostels, so they were probably more significant.[4] TSventon (talk) 04:17, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- Srbernadette, you removed my citation needed tag with the edit summary "references certainly do state that that students DID live at Wychwood school", please can you explain that here rather than through edit summaries. The NPG reference mentions "a few young women living there while reading for various examinations", but does not say they were members of the Oxford Home Students. They could have been taking university entrance or London University exams. The other two references don't seem to mention the Home Students at all. Home Students lived in many locations, and Wychwood School should only be included if it was a significant part of the history of the Home Students. TSventon (talk) 07:34, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
- Dear Sir, the archives from St Annes College outline that at 77 Banbury Road (which housed Wychwood School in 1900-1902) there lived Miss Gertrude Middleton - an Oxford Home Students member from 1900-1902. The headmistress/owner of Wychwood School - Miss Lee - lived at Wychwood at this time and tutored Oxford Home Students a few years after this time (i.e after 1902). Hope this helps Srbernadette (talk) 00:41, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Gertrude Middleton edit
I have just removed a paragraph of text with photo about Gertrude Middleton as it was not relevant to the history section. Former students, with their own articles, can be added to the list in the Former members section, but Gertrude Middleton does not have her own article. TSventon (talk) 17:41, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
People edit
No Rose Dugdale?
- Cassidy McGurk, the people section is a selection of names added by Wikipedia editors and no one has added Dugdale. There is a longer list at List of St Anne's College, Oxford people and further names in Category:Alumni of St Anne's College, Oxford. TSventon (talk) 19:52, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
