    Princesses at play (The fantasy)
    Vincent, Alfred (1897)
    The cartoon derives from a complaint made by Professor Harrison Moore about noise made by members of the Princess Ida Club. The potential for rowdy activity in the small parlour is obviously limited but the mystery surrounding this early ancestor of our Women's Room would have been tantalising. A copy of this cartoon was included in the 1993 UMSU exhibition "Union House: An Architectural History" in the George Paton Gallery.

    (1897)
    The Princess Ida Club, formed in 1888, was for 28 years the heart of University social life for women.

A copy of this photograph was included in the 1993 UMSU exhibition "Union House: An Architectural History" in the George Paton Gallery.
