Career
She was principal of Bedford College from 1906-1929 and a Fellow at Newnham from 1905 to 1936.
In September 1937 Dame Margaret presented the Library of Royal Holloway, University of London with a collection of Italian renaissance letters. Dating from 1526-1697 they deal principally with the family and business affairs of the Florentine Ridolfi family. The Tuke manuscript collection enhanced the research potential of existing works of Italian literature ranging from the sixteenth to twentieth century of which Battitista Guarini's Poetical Works (1630) and Gian Giorgio Trissino's La Sophonisba (1530) are examples.

—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“Each of the professions means a prejudice. The necessity for a career forces every one to take sides. We live in the age of the overworked, and the under-educated; the age in which people are so industrious that they become absolutely stupid.”
