Shields, paints a picture of Nelle Harper Lee (her little-used first name was later dropped) during that time: The book I Am Scout: The Biography of Harper Lee, by Charles J. Her father came up with a plan to focus Lee's mind. Her older sister Alice was a lawyer her father was a lawyer. In 1948, Lee was enrolled in law school in Alabama. Harper Lee came to us when she was at something of a crossroads in her life. Still, it was news to us when the BBC contacted us in 2015 and told us that Pulitzer Prize winning author Harper Lee had spent six weeks on our International Graduates Summer School in 1948, 12 years before 'To Kill a Mockingbird' was published.
Vera Brittain, who attended our summer school in 1913 before being accepted as a full time student at Somerville in 1915, is a notable example. Given these numbers, it's no stretch to imagine that some of these students came from (or went on to) celebrated careers.
We estimate that around 100,000 students have attended Department for Continuing Education's summer schools since the 'summer meetings' began in 1888.
