Addison Scholarship Fund. It has been a pleasure to make the acquaintance of members of this family, particularly the late Louise Lewis, Margaret's niece, who was always willing to share her time and knowledge. The staff of the Victoria University/United Church Archives have been most helpful in answering queries, as have archivists at Trinity College Archives and Havergal College in Toronto; Newnham College, Girton College, Homerton College, Hughes Hall, the Cambridgeshire County Record Office, and the Central Library in Cambridge; and St Hugh's College, Lady Margaret Hall, St Anne's College, and St Hilda's College in Oxford. Elke Schneider helped me with puzzling German words, and Jay Macpherson and Goldwin French were kind enough to read the manuscript, although of course they are not responsible for any errors. I am also grateful for a grant in aid of publication from Victoria University, and for the assistance of Philip Cercone and Joan McGilvray at McGill-Queen's University Press. My husband, Walter, has been an unfailing source of encouragement and helpful suggestions.
