Memories of Muriel Wasi – St Stephen’s/ Jesus & Mary College

Muriel Wasi’s career as an educationist flourished long after she had retired from active service from the Ministry of Education and then as a teacher of substance, first at St. Stephens College and thereafter Jesus and Mary College, both leading Delhi educational institutions. A triple first class from Madras University, she topped the Presidency lists for 1933, went on to Oxford for further education and made the most of her stay there, absorbing all that her teachers had to offer with critical discrimination. This quality stayed with her throughout her career as an educationist and university teacher.
