    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Louisa Lumsden is remembered as the founder and inspiration of University Hall. She was a lifelong advocate for the progression of female education, inspired by her time at Girton College, Cambridge, having been one of the first five women to study there. Lumsden moved to St Andrews in 1877, where she was recruited as headmistress for St Leonards School. In 1895, she returned to St Andrews as the first warden of University Hall – the only residential hall for female students in Scotland at the time. Her vision was based on her time at Girton College, and was met with much opposition. Lumsden also fought for women’s rights more generally, serving as president of the Aberdeen Suffrage Society in her retirement. ]]></dcterms:description>
