She was associated with Girton College, University of Cambridge, as student and Fellow, for over 70 years.[1] BiographyBertha Swirles was born in Northampton in 1903, attended Northampton School for Girls and then went up to Girton College, in 1921, to read Mathematics, graduating with first class Honours. She became a research student of Ralph Fowler, one of a distinguished company of his students that included Paul Dirac and Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar. She was awarded her PhD in 1929, by which time she was an Assistant Lecturer in Manchester. She followed with similar posts in Bristol and then at Imperial College (then the Royal College of Science), London in the 1930s.[2][3] She married Harold Jeffreys in 1940, and became Lady Jeffreys upon his knighthood in 1953. RecognitionShe was president of the Mathematical Association for 1969.[4] In 2016 the Council of the University of Cambridge approved the use of Swirles's name to mark Swirles Court, which consists of 350 graduate student rooms, leased by Girton College, within the North West Cambridge Development.[5] BibliographyBook
