Note
A.S. Ramsey in Bygone Days at Magdalene:
'To commemorate his Golden Wedding, the Master invited a large party of relations and friends to luncheon in the inner room of the College Library. Trestle tables were used and a great many guests were crowed in. The toast was proposed by the Hon. R. Neville Grenville and the Master replied. It did not occur to me at the time to ask the Master why he did not use the College Hall, which was so much better suited for such a party than the Library, but looking back now I have no doubt that it was because a large number of the guests were ladies and he either shrank from creating a precedent by allowing ladies to have a meal in Hall, or else he had some hesitation as to whether it was proper to ask the Fellows to agree to its use for such a purpose'.
