St Peter A Bachelor


IN the list of benefactors to Peter-House is Lady Mary Ramsay, who is

reported to have offered a very large property, nearly equal to a new

foundation to this college, on condition that the name should be changed

to Peter and Mary's; but she was thwarted in her intention by Dr.

Soame, then master. Peter, said the crabbed humorist, has been too

long a bachelor to think of a female companion in his old days.
