Last week saw the official opening of the
new Mary Lily Walker Building. Based at
the High School of Dundee, the building will house their newly established
nursery. There could be no more fitting purpose
for a building that bears her name, given that her key concern was the health
of young children.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The ceremony marking the opening of the
building took place on 1st September. It
was a grand affair, with approximately 75 people in attendance, amongst them
the Lord Provost of Dundee, Bob Duncan.
He said, once again, how important and interesting that he thinks the
story of Mary Lily Walker is for Dundee.
He is keen that it be known by all the residents of the city, and he is
hopeful that the new nursery will be one more way of helping that to be
achieved.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Mary Lily Walker was a pupil at the High
School during the early 1880s. Her years
there were one of the experiences that helped to craft her very strong identity
as a Dundonian. It was this attachment
to the city that would later led her to return to it after spending time in
London. Her strong bonds to the
city led
her to focus her efforts for reform on the city of her birth, rather
than take
up invitations to focus on other British cities that were also
struggling with
poverty and inequality. It was precisely because she was a former pupil
that the High School wanted to honour her memory formally.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

included John Halliday, Rector of the High School, as well as the guest of honour,
Mairi Hedderwick, author of the classic Katie Morag series. Along with treating the attendant children to
a reading of her stories, Dr. Hedderwick expressed her personal interest in the
story of Mary Lily Walker. She was
delighted to receive a copy of Mary Lily’s biography (written by author Eddie
Small and published in 2013).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the Mary Lily Walker Project Group was with the new plaques bearing her name,

choosing to remember and commend the memory of their former pupil in this
lasting way.</span><br />

</div>
<div>
<div>
Mary Lily's efforts featured in the press this week — even though
most people wouldn't have recognised that, because she didn't feature
directly in the story. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A set of 'mugshots'
from 1905 turned up as an item at a local auction. The shots showed
individuals who had been barred from local pubs for drunk and disorderly
behaviour.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The press dubbed the photos as
'Edward drunks' and 'Edwardian ASBOs'. In contrast, our team saw in the
photos the ravaging consequences of trauma and poverty — which is
exactly what Mary Lily Walker was trying to fight. Of the 40
photographs, 80% were of women, many of them immigrants from Ireland.
Their tired faces and worn shawls said a lot to us</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2604979/Youre-barred-Edwardian-Asbo-mugshots-drunks-Dundee.html">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2604979/Youre-barred-Edwardian-Asbo-mugshots-drunks-Dundee.html</a></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The
advance price for the photos was estimated at £100 - £200. We went
along hopeful of making the purchase, with the aim of donating them to
an archive. But the final bid of £1500 turned out to be well beyond our
league! However, now that we know such documents exist, we intend to
keep our eyes open for more of them in future!</div>

Here are a few shots of Auction Day, with Suzanne Zeedyk travelling an emotional path from hopeful to nervous to accepting.</div>

</div>
<div>
On Thursday (6th March), Suzanne Zeedyk trained 450
Dundee staff in attachment. Part of her presentation described the
activities of Mary Lily Walker. Suzanne began by asking attendees who
knew the name of Mary Lily Walker to put up their hands. AND LOOK WHAT
HAPPENED! This is a photo of how many people raised those hands!!! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This
shows the success of our efforts of the last year. It is so
celebratory to realise that THIS MANY PEOPLE now know the name of Mary
Lily Walker. Wonders never cease.</div>

She wrote:<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Finally, to Dundee where I teach, for a marvellously engaged story of one our great philanthropists. Mary Lily Walker: Forgotten Visionary of Dundee is by Eddie Small (Dundee University Press, £8.99), my colleague in writing studies at the university there. His book shows us how imagination and thoughtfulness can bring about change even when circumstances seem insurmountable. A great lesson for a UK society flattened by the excesses of capitalism and inspiring indeed.</i></blockquote>

Author of the biography, Eddie Small said:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"It would have been easy for her to say some something nice about the author, seeing as we work together. But she's chosen to say nice things about the book and more importantly about Mary Lily Walker, and that's the key thing."</i></blockquote>
<br />
On hearing the news, research team member Suzanne Zeedyk said:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"I am over the moon. Kirsty has shared my own view about the value of
Mary Lily's story. It isn't a story about yesterday. It is a story
about today — about what she still has to teach us about life, about
creative solutions to massive social problems, about friendship and
love. I LOVE her story!"</i></blockquote>

The
High School of Dundee proudly announced today their plans to name their
new nursery after Mary Lily Walker. Ground work for the new-build site
is now under way, with a finish date of June 2014 in mind and the first
intake of children beginning in August 2014. </div>

<div>
Mary
Lily Walker is a Former Pupil of the High School, which she attended
aged 16 – 18 years (approx 1879 – 1881). Like so much of the rest of
her life, these details had been forgotten until our team began to
undertake the research that has driven this project for the past two
years. The High School themselves only learned of their link to her
when they heard a presentation by our team at the Dundee Rotary Club.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We
celebrate Dundee High School's eagerness to mark her achievements in
this way. Although Mary Lily Walker herself would probably have been a
bit embarrassed by all the public attention, she would have been
delighted to know that her efforts on behalf of Dundee's children are
still proving effective.</div>

<h1 align="CENTER" class="western" style="page-break-inside: avoid; widows: 132;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The UK has been exploring what might be helpful for more
than a century</span></h1>
<h1 class="western" style="page-break-inside: avoid;">
<div class="western" style="page-break-inside: avoid;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">One
of the stories hitting the news this week (12 November 2013) relates
to a newly- launched scheme in Sheffield, in which new mothers will
be offered vouchers worth up £200, to encourage them to continue to
breast feed their babies for 6 months. The concern arises from the
fact that the UK has some of the lowest breastfeeding rates in
Europe. An emphasis on breastfeeding is always controversial,
because women feel controlled and judged, especially if they have
been unable to breastfeed or decided not to. This feeling can be
seen within the response to this initiative.</span></div>

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Our team thought it was valuable to place this
scheme in a historical context. This is not the first time that
boosting breastfeeding rates has been attempted by providing
incentives to mothers. An attempt was made in 1906 in Dundee, when
Mary Lily Walker set up the first ever ‘Restaurant for Nursing
Mothers’ in Britain. Mary Lily Walker was leading the work of the
Dundee Social Union, which was concerned about the appalling poverty
rates in Dundee, as well as the shocking infant mortality. Dundee
had the highest rate of child death in the country.</span></div>

travelled to Paris to study the Restaurant initiative at first hand.
A pioneering scheme had been put in place there by Madame Henri
Coullet. According to Eddie Small, author of the recent published
biography on Mary Lily Walker, she financed the initiative with her
own private funds, in the hope that it would be successful enough to
be taken up by the local Council and rolled out more widely. However
she did not want attention drawn to her generosity, so she described
the funding as coming from ‘a public spirited citizen’, and
thereby kept her identity anonymous.

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">At the time, it was not uncommon for pregnant
mothers working in the jute mills to work up to one week before
giving birth and then to be back at the mill within a month after
birth. Infant mortality rates for Dundee make grim reading. From
1901 onward, infant mortality rates had been falling steadily in both
England and Scotland. In Dundee, though, they continued to rise
until 1920. By 1920, the rates for England had dropped to 90 death
per 1,000 birth. In Scotland, the rate was 99 death. But in the
city of Dundee, the rate was 129 deaths per 1000. In some areas of
the city social conditions were described as worse than in Calcutta –
Dundee’s rival for jute production.</span></div>
<div class="western">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">The Restaurant operated by providing a 3-course
dinner on the condition that women brought their babies to be weighed
and that the mothers did not return to work. Women who could afford
to pay something toward the cost of the meal were charged 2d. Those
who could not afford this were given the meal for free. The
monitoring of the women was done in order to gather evidence of the
effectiveness of the initiative.</span></div>
<div class="western">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><br />

<div class="western">

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">With the evidence of babies’ weight, statistical
comparisons of their health could be made. By 1908 Charles Templeton,
Dundee Chief Medical Officer reported that “the increasing weight
of the Dinner babies [that is, the babies whose mothers were
attending the Restaurant] show how much they benefit by one good meal
a day being issued to the mothers.” In that year the mortality rate
of babies attending one of the Restaurants was 60
</span></div>
<div class="western">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">per 1,000, compared to 200 for the wider district
and 170 for the town of Dundee. This equates to a 300% improvement.
Babies of mothers attending the Restaurant were 3 times as likely to
survive to the age of 1 year.</span></div>
<div class="western">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Like today’s Sheffield scheme involving the
offer of vouchers, the introduction of the Restaurant scheme was met
with controversy. In 1906, the idea of keeping women from returning
to their work at the mills was seen as interfering with employment
patterns. There was also suspicion about snooping professional
classes interfering with the privacy of families. Yet Mary Lily
Walker saw herself as trying to improve the terrible conditions under
which families and babies were being forced to live.</span></div>
<div class="western">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="western">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Mary Lily Walker’s first restaurant opened on 22
May 1906 in Temple Lane, with Miss Jessie Allen in charge. The
second opened in March 1907 in Union Street, Maxwelltown. The town
would later adopt the scheme and provide another two Restaurants.
Through the work of Mary Lily Walker and the Dundee Social Union, the
schemes adopted by the town led to Dundee having the first
comprehensive Infant Welfare Service in the country.</span></div>

The night's event was held at the McManus Galleries, which
was originally built to house the 1867 meeting of the
British Association for the Advancement of Science. <br />
<br />
This
was the first time the Association had agreed to meet in a
non-university town. Mary Lily would take part in the
Association's gathering the next time in returned to Dundee
– in 1912. The full set of photos is available on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.752399061443794.1073741836.528288633854839&type=1">our Facebook page</a><br />

We've also been undertaking new research about Mary Lily Walker's life, to fill in the many gaps that remain in her story.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here
are some shots of the research we were undertaking in Kendal, in
October. Her Uncle, James Allen lived in Kendal, and she visited him
there many times. We have lots of letters in the archives of her
correspondence to show that!</div>

We've had an active time since our celebrations in
June! We're now involved in doing a whole series of talks to the public
about her life and about Eddie Small's terrific biography. Here's some
shots of our contribution to the Dundee Literary Festival in October.<br />
<br />
Our activity doesn't stop here however! There are more future talks scheduled, you can find out where and when on our <a href="http://marylilywalker.blogspot.co.uk/p/future-events.html">Future Events page</a>.</div>

<div class="p1">
We had a great time with all the MLW activities and thank you to everyone who joined us for any of them. We're putting up photos from all of our events this week over on our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/marylilywalker">MLW Facebook page</a> - feel free to tag yourself if you're in any of them!</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Thank you very much to all of our speakers at our events, particularly the MLW conference and church service.

It has been a pleasure sharing the story of Mary Lily Walker's life and times, and we all hope that it may in some small way inspire change that we still need today in the 21st century. Although the Mary Lily Walker Centenary is over, we are still continuing to learn and talk about Mary Lily Walker and her continuing influence. </div>

After long months of planning, today sees the start of 4 days of celebration for the Mary Lily Walker Centenary. There's due to be a Civic Reception for all those who've taken place in pulling together the celebrations.<br />
<br />
You can also take part by attending the <b>exhibition currently up in the Tower Building Foyer at Dundee University</b>. The exhibition was designed by Brett Housego, Head of Design at Suzanne Zeedyk ltd. and features letters, images and items from the life and times of Mary Lily Walker. It will run until the 12th August and entrance is free to all.<br />
<br />
Mary Lily was one of the first cohort of students to study at the university, back when it was known as University College Dundee and the exhibition features lab samples from her time working in the university laboratories under D'arcy Wentworth Thompson.<br />
<br />
Also on show is part of the report into child poverty that she authored in 1905. We do hope you'll enjoy the exhibition - if you do get to catch it, be sure to let us know what you think by leaving us a comment here or on our <a href="http://www.facebook.com/marylilywalker">Facebook Page</a>.<br />
<br />
Below are some photos of the research team installing the exhibition.<br />

Mary Lily Walker's story was told at all 6 graduation ceremonies at the University of Dundee last week, a story that was also covered by <a href="http://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/education/dundee-university-principal-recalls-the-past-as-he-looks-to-the-future-1.104599">the Dundee Courier</a>. Principal Pete Downes spoke of her in his Graduation Speech, doing so underneath an image of her projected on the screens. That means that last week approximately 9000 people heard something of her story. Let's keep telling it!</div>

Here's what the Principal had to say:<br />
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Let me now tell you a story that vividly illustrates the richness of our history at the University of Dundee, and our commitment to transforming lives. It is the inspirational story of one of our first graduates, Mary Lily Walker. On this, the centenary of her death, I would like to take the opportunity to champion her achievements.</i></blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Mary Lily was not only one of the first women in Scotland to be taught in the same classroom as men, winning prizes in Botany, Biology and Embryology, but was a pioneer for social reform in Dundee and beyond.</i></blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Her innovative approach to addressing the issues facing mothers and children in Dundee at the time led her to found the UK’s first mother's restaurant, to provide sustenance for nursing mothers, to set up a women’s hospital where women could be treated by female doctors, and to set up children’s clinics in Dundee.</i></blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>And the achievement for which she is best known, the founding of the Grey Lodge Settlement in Dundee, which educated social workers and offered classes and activities for children in the city, still thrives today after she willed her properties to the oranisation.<br />Mary Lily also wrote the highly-influential Dundee Social Union Report of 1905, which revealed the deplorable working and living conditions in Dundee, especially the dreadful infant mortality rate. This was a publication that was talked about in Parliament, and which was influential in Liberal social reforms.</i></blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Before her death, Mary Lily went on to become one of the first women parish councillors in Dundee, and was one of only two women asked to write for the British Society for the Advancement of Science Handbook in 1912.</i></blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Mary Lily died in July 1913, four days before her fiftieth birthday, but in her short life she transformed the social conditions of women in our city and beyond.</i></blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>As an institution we at the University of Dundee take inspiration from Mary Lily’s story. If each and every one of us tries to emulate her ambition, innovation, and imagination and applies those principles to the way we teach, to our research tackling complex global problems and to harness our efforts to transforming lives, then we will reach our goal of becoming Scotland’s leading university within 25 years and, who knows, maybe even less time!</i></blockquote>
<br />
As an interesting aside, we recently learned something interesting about the mace, carried at all graduations at the University of Dundee (see below). It turns out it was gifted to the University in 1913, to commemorate the 500th anniversary of St Andrews University (to which University College Dundee was once affiliated). <br />
<br />
It was presented to the University by Mr Rudolf Polack, whose wife, Mrs Polack, was for many years on the board of the Women's Hospital started by Mary Lily Walker and colleagues. Once you start delving into the history, there are many intersections!<br />

Entitled <i>Mary Lily Walker: Forgotten Visionary of Dundee, </i>here's a summary of the book:<br />
<br />
<i style="background-color: #e2c675; color: #182a58; font-family: 'Sorts Mill Goudy'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This is a story about a remarkable woman from a city renowned for its strong women; a woman who not only brought national attention to the desperate plight of women and children in late-Victorian Dundee, but who introduced social and healthcare reform to a city she held dear. A true original, this book tells her story for the first time - her early life, her inspirations and the friendships and relationships which make her a true treasured daughter of Dundee.</span></i><i style="background-color: #e2c675; color: #182a58; font-family: 'Sorts Mill Goudy'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This is the story of a legacy which still survives one hundred years after her untimely death. This is the story that has been too long in the telling.</span></i><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We're very excited to share with you all the news that the University of Dundee will be hosting an exhibition on Mary Lily Walker from the 21st of June all the way through to the 12th of August.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Situated in the Tower Building foyer (the tall building situated just off of the Nethergate/Perth Rd.), it'll showcase letters, documents, pictures and more about the life and times of Miss Walker. Included will be items from her time at the University, when it had just opened it's doors as the University College Dundee - including lab specimens from her work alongside Professor Wentworth D'arcy Thompson.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Entrance to the exhibition is free, and it is disabled accessible from the rear of the building.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><u>Rotary Club Presentation</u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><u><br /></u></span>
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Suzanne had the pleasure this week of speaking to the Claverhouse Rotary Club about our Mary Lily Walker events. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This was a particular pleasure because it let her highlight one of many minor characters in Mary Lily's story. Hector Turnbull owned the Claverhouse Bleachfields, situated near the Dighty Burn in Dundee. Hector Turnbull was Mary Lily's uncle, and was a witness at the wedding of her father and mother. Our historical research has revealed that, when her father died in 1876, Hector was most unhappy about a prenuptial agreement that they had signed, and he refused to assist in legal proceedings concerning her father's estate. We haven't yet uncovered why he was unhappy! </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You can read much more about the history we've uncovered in Eddie Small's forthcoming biography.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This little story gives a sense of the many interwoven themes in our activities — especially when one of the Rotary members commented afterward that his house overlooks the site of the Bleachfields.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here's a few photos of Suzanne giving that talk.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Interestingly, it marks the second time that <i>a</i> Prince of Wales has visited the settlement.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It's been a busy time for Mary Lily Walker recently, and the local newspapers have been kind enough to feature her not once, but twice. On Tuesday last week, The Courier in Dundee talked about the parallels between the current debate on sleeping alongside one's baby with the issues that Mary Lily Walker discussed back in her day over 100 years ago.</span></div>

Wonderful local film-makers<a href="https://www.facebook.com/DragonReelFilms?fref=ts"> Dragonreel Films</a> were in attendance, and they've produced a short film in which they met the chefs and some of the characters in attendance. They even managed to get a brief interview with Mary Lily Walker herself! You can watch the film below:</span><br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is a story about a remarkable woman from a city renowned for its strong women; a woman who not only brought national attention to the desperate plight of women and children in late-Victorian Dundee, but who introduced social and healthcare reform to a city she held dear. A true original, this book tells her story for the first time - her early life, her inspirations and the friendships and relationships which make her a true treasured daughter of Dundee.</span></i><i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is the story of a legacy which still survives one hundred years after her untimely death. This is the story that has been too long in the telling.</span></i></blockquote>

<div class="p1">
JOIN US FOR AN (ALMOST) AUTHENTIC EDWARDIAN BANQUET — IN (ALMOST) AUTHENTIC COSTUME!</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
The team at Heaven's Kitchen are hosting an Edwardian Banquet, on Saturday 1 June 2013 — as part of the Mary Lily Walker commemorative events. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
This amazing charity team has planned an (almost) authentic 6-course Edwardian meal. It starts with Arbroath Smoked Haddock Souffle, moves on to Carrot & Star Anise Soup, and (almost) ends with Carse of Gowrie Raspberry and Cranachan Dessert. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
The meal takes place in the classroom of St Paul's School — one of the schools that featured in Mary Lily Walker's ground-breaking <a href="http://marylilywalker.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/1905-report-table.html">1905 report</a>. The classroom has only recently been cleared, and so will rarely have been seen by the public. But we really will be eating in the very room in which Victorian children walked barefoot across a wooden floor — and whose lives Mary Lily Walker sought to change with her dedicated work.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
The Heaven's Kitchen team is made up of volunteer chefs and waiting staff, all of superb and practised skills — who are donating their time and effort to raise money for St Paul's Cathedral. Mary Lily Walker herself attended St Paul's Cathedral and was buried from there on 5 July 1913. So it is fitting that we join her spirit there on 1st June, to kick off what is now a month of celebrations to mark her contributions to the city of Dundee and especially to the lives of Dundee children and women.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
For more on Mary Lily Walker, her life and her legacy, check out the rest of our blog here at <a href="http://www.marylilywalker.co.uk/">www.marylilywalker.co.uk</a>. There are still tickets available for many of the events taking place in June, so do get in touch if any other events interest you.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
We've attached a flyer for the Banquet, so that you know how to book (at £35 per ticket). <b>Don't forget to read the bit about the 'Required Dress Code'. :) </b> It should be a fabulously fun evening.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
We look forward to seeing many of you on the 1st of June — as long as tickets last! <b> </b></div>

More information on their friendship has recently been unearthed from their correspondance between them held in the archives at St Andrews University. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">D'arcy Thompson was appointed Professor of Biology at University College, Dundee (which would later become the University of Dundee which we know today). Mary attended the college and the two of them started a friendship which would last their entire lifetime, before she passed away in 1913.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Appropriately enough, the talk was held in the D'arcy Thompson Zoology museum, situated in the Carnelly Building on the University of Dundee campus. The museum is full of zoological specimens that Thompson obtained throughout his life, including some rarer specimens such as the skeleton of a now-extinct Steller's Sea Cow.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The talk was well attended, with about 30 brave souls braving the inclement weather. We give our thanks for all who attended and showed an interest in the wonderful friendship demonstrated in Walker and Thompson's correspondance. Speakers included the University of Dundee's Matthew Jarrow, Dr Suzanne Zeedyk and Peter Kinnear. Below are some photos from the event:</span><br />

It was a busy MLW week, with discussion of her taking place both in the meeting and in person. One of the best parts of speaking to the Rotary Club? Bringing today's Early Years Movement to the business community.</span><br />

On March 4th, some of our research team took a party out and about around Dundee on a walking tour. They took in various important sites and points to do with Mary Lily Walker's life, starting at the Magdalen Green bandstand and finishing at the Grey Lodge Settlement. Here's some photos from the day:</div>
