College Royal Connections

 
  1913 Queen Mary and Queen Alexandra were joint patrons in 1913 when they gave special sanction for emblems representative of themselves to be embodied in the new Bedford College Arms.

1921,22,21 HRH Princess Mary, The Princess Royal attended summer Garden Parties at Bedford College. The funds raised by these events went towards the Extension and Endowment Appeal. The Principal, Miss Margaret Tuke (right) steered this activity for years, and the new building was named after her.

 

 

1927 HRH Princess Mary, The Princess Royal lays the Foundation stone of the Tuke Building for Bedford College. The ceremony to launch the new building was broadcast, and there was a spirit of brighter prospects for women following the aftermath of the Great War.
