Summary As dean of Annesley Hall residence at Victoria University from its founding in 1903 until 1931, Margaret Addison set the tone for university women during the period when college education for women changed from the unusual to the accepted. Jean O'Grady describes her complex personality B revealed in the letters and diaries she left B and discusses her life in the context of her time, which extended from the early development of Ontario's educational system after Confederation, through Edwardian days, to the roaring twenties and beyond.
