Murray Edwards Dolphin and the Dome
Painted by Eva Fang
Murray Edwards College, founded as New Hall in 1954, is one of the two Women-focused Colleges of the University of Cambridge. The College is built on the site of "The Orchard" a house owned by the Darwin family, since it was purchased by Emma Darwin in the 1890's, after the death of Charles. It was donated to the college in 1962.
The College started on Silver Street, in a building now the site of Darwin College, but moved to the new building upon completion in 1965. The college name is an amalgamation of two individuals, an Alumna, Rosalind Edwards, and the first president, Dame Rosemary Murray who became the first Woman to hold the post of vice-chancellor of the University of Cambridge in 1975.
The Dolphin was chosen as part of the arms of the college to symbolise a youthful spirit of exploration, discovery and intelligence.
