Clara (or Clare) Reynolds (1865–1937) was an
educator from Clackmannanshire, Scotland. In 1888, she entered Cambridge
University's Newnham College to read for the Medieval and Modern Languages
Tripos—Cambridge's qualifying exam for a bachelor's degree—which she
passed in 1891 with first class honors, the highest honors possible for takers
of the exam. Though she was denied her degree due to Cambridge's policies on
educating women, Reynolds's career in education spanned roughly thirty years and
included a lecturing appointment at New Cross Training College.
