Olive Willis

Olive Margaret Willis (26 October 1877 – 11 March 1964) was an English educationist and headmistress. She founded Downe House School and was its head for nearly forty years, from 1907 to 1946.
==Early life==
Willis was born in 1877 at 65 Thistle Grove, Kensington, London, a daughter of John Armine Willis (1839–1916), a school inspector who later became Chief Inspector of Schools for the west of England, and of Janet Willis, who was a daughter of James Coutts Crawford. There were five children in the family, four daughters and a son, and Willis was the second girl. John Armine Willis had been educated at Cambridge, where he was an officer of the Cambridge University Rifle Volunteers,〔Rehan, T. L., ''Bulletins and Other State Intelligence for the year 1860 Compiled and Arranged from the Official Documents Published in the London Gazette'': (Part I, January to June) (page 65 ) online at books.google.co.uk〕 and he liked to take his children on climbing holidays in Switzerland. Willis later remembered that they had "suffered from a surfeit of beautiful things on an empty stomach".〔Avery, Gillian, 'Willis, Olive Margaret (1877–1964)', in ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'' (Oxford University Press, Sept 2004) (online edn, May 2008 ) accessed 20 July 2008〕
Olive Willis was a rebellious child. In 1891, she was sent as a boarder to the new Wimbledon House in Brighton, which while she was there became Roedean School, and was there for four years.〔 From 1898 to 1901, she was at Somerville College, Oxford, where she read History, gaining a third class in her Finals.〔〔( Downe House - a Brief History ) at downehouse.berks.sch.uk, accessed 20 July 2008〕
