SIR MICHAEL SADLER

MARRIAGE AT SEVENTY-THREE <From Uur Own Correspondent.) LONDON, October 5. Sir Michael Sadler, who is retiring from the mastership of University College, Oxford, at the end of the year, is to marry Miss Eva Margaret Gilpin, headmistress of the Hall School, Weybridge, one of the best-known co-educa-tional establishments. Sir Michael is 73, and his bride-to-be is in the sixties. She founded the Hall School, Weybridge, in 1898, and she is also a director of the Summer School for British, French and German children, which has been held yearly since 1927 in England, France and Germany in succession. Sir Michael Sadler has offered the information that he and Miss Gilpin had been friends for over 40 years. “ Miss Gilpin was living at Leeds with our relations and later she lived with us at Weybridge and was a great friend of my wife, who died in 1932,” he said. Sir Michael added that Miss Gilpin had taught his son as well as his son’s children. When Sir Michael announced his intention to retire at the end of this year, he said he wished to be relieved from administrative duties so that he could complete the report of the International Institutes Examinations Inquiry, of which he is the English chairman. But Sir Michael also hopes to find time for gardening and painting when he goes to his new home —an old-world house at Headington.
