Established in 1886 as a residential hostel for women students of Trinity College, JCH was originally called the 'Trinity College Hostel'. It was re-named after a significant benefactor, Janet Clarke, wife of Sir William Clarke in 1921.[1] Enid Joske was principal of JCH from 1928 until 1952 despite the uncooperation of the warden of Trinity,[2] Dr Eva Eden was principal from 1964 until 1983.[3] JCH became an independent college in 1961 and co-educational in 1973.
