The day Kathleen Lonsdale came to my school

Our latest profile of a 20th century Quaker notable (Kathleen Lonsdale, pages 8 and 9) provoked schoolgirl memories for our trustee Rosemary Hartill. In the early sixties Rosemary was a pupil at Wellington High School and one day the eminent scientist arrived to talk to them. Lonsdale, it seems, was keen to interest pupils in science, particularly girls. 'I had never seen the headmistress so in awe of anyone', Rosemary recalls. 'Lonsdale was impressive and I remember a sparkling performance'.
