BEALE, DOROTHEA (1831-1906)

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 572 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAR-BEC
BEALE, DOROTHEA (1831-1906) ,
English
  schoolmistress, was born on the 21st of
March
  1831 in London, her father being a physician of good family and cultivated tastes. She had already shown a strong intellectual bent and considerable force of character when in 1848 she was one of the first to attend lectures at the newly opened Queen's College for Ladies, London, and from 1849 to 1856 she herself took classes there. In 1857
for a few months she became head teacher of the Clergy Daughters' school at Casterton, Westmoreland, but narrow religious prejudices on the
part
  of the
governors
  led to her retirement. In 1858 she was appointed
principal
  of the Ladies College at
Cheltenham
  (opened 1854), then in very low water. Her tact and strenuousness, backed by able
financial
  management, led to its success being thoroughly established by 1864, and as the college increased in numbers new buildings were erected from 1873 onwards. Under Miss Beale's headship it grew into one of the
great
  girls' schools of the country, and its development and example played an important
part
  in the revolution effected in regard to the higher education of women. Miss Beale retained her post till her death on the 9th of November 1906. Strongly religious by nature, broad-minded and keenly interested in all branches of culture, she exercised a far-reaching influence on her pupils.
Her
Life
  was written by Elizabeth Raikes (1908).
