In this evocative black-and-white photograph, Margery Fry, the esteemed Principal of Somerville College, Oxford from 1926 to 1930, and former governor of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) from 1937 to 1939, warmly greets a group of students at a reception held at County Hall, London, in 1956. The historic venue, with its grand architecture and ornate decor, serves as the perfect backdrop for this momentous occasion. Margery Fry, dressed in a simple yet elegant blouse and skirt, exudes a sense of wisdom and compassion as she engages in conversation with the students, who proudly display their newly-earned degrees. Her brother, the renowned artist and art critic Roger Fry, would have been proud to see his sister recognized for her significant contributions to education and broadcasting. This photograph captures a poignant moment in history, as Margery Fry, a trailblazing woman in academia and media, celebrates the achievements of the next generation. Her legacy as a champion of women's education and her influence on the BBC continue to resonate, making this image a testament to her enduring impact.
