Up to 1915 it was, like Toynbee Hall, a Settlement for University and professional men who gave their evenings to the work. Since 1915 it has been a Women's Settlement under a distinguished head Miss Hilda Oakeley, M.A., formerly Warden of King's College for Women. It is now full of women residents and full of work.
