Description
Frances Melville was a promoter of higher education for women in Scotland and suffragist, born on October 11th, 1873. She became one of the first women to matriculate at the University of Edinburgh in 1892, after the Universities (Scotland) Act of 1889 was passed, permitting women to matriculate and graduate from the Scottish universities. Melville graduated from the University of Edinburgh in 1897 with a first-class Master of Arts in Philosophy.
In 1899, Melville moved to St Andrews to become the second warden of University Hall, succeeding Louisa Lumsden. During her time at St Andrews, she obtained a degree in the Bachelor of Divinity, which was awarded to her in 1910.
