Holloway College — Chambers's Encyclopaedia

Holloway College, situated at Mount Lee, Egham, Surrey, near Virginia Water, is an institution founded in 1883 by Thomas Holloway (1800-83), patentee of Holloway's pills and Holloway's ointment (see ADVERTISING), for the purpose of supplying a suitable education to women of the middle classes. The building, which is constructed in the French Renaissance style, was opened by the Queen in 1886. The management is vested in the hands of twelve governors. Holloway also founded a sanatorium or hospital for the mentally afflicted belonging to the middle classes.
