Ida Freund:
Teacher, Educator, Feminist, and
Chemistry Textbook Writer
Palmer, Bill
Abstract— In the nineteenth century the
importance of the following women textbook
writers deserves recognition: Jane Marcet
(Chemistry and natural philosophy): Mary
Somerville (Physical sciences): and Mrs Lincoln
Phelps (Biology and chemistry). They were all
prolific writers who were recognised in the highest
scientific circles.
Ida Freund, in the early twentieth century, was
another textbook writer in this tradition. She wrote
two major chemistry books but these were virtually
her total life’s work. However a well known
historian of chemistry said that her work “is to be
classed among the really great works of chemical
literature”.
This paper will focus on the life and work of this
great woman chemist and educationalist, whose
ideas on physical and chemical change and of the
value of practical work in teaching chemistry put
her ahead of her time.
1. I
NTRODUCTION
DA Freund’s life and work is not widely known,
so her story is worth telling. Ida Freund's two
books relate to chemical change as was the
doctoral thesis of the writer of this study. Some
comparisons can be made between her work and
the work of Henry Edward Armstrong (Palmer,
1998). However they expressed opposite views
on science education issues (Brock, 1996,
Footnote 71: Jenkins, 1979, p. 175). Brock
(1996) indicates that Armstrong supported
heurism whereas Freund opposed heurism. The
problem here is that Armstrong was far from
consistent in defining heurism and that Freund’s
painfully careful experimentation was hardly
suited to science teaching for all. However both
were extremely competent chemists with a
passion for experimental work. Jenkins indicates
that Armstrong and Freund also had opposed
views on domestic science curricula. In this case
Armstrong’s views were probably not soundly
based on experience: it was a part of his
personality to express strong views about
‘everything’. Ida Freund had a wide variety of
skills that would have enabled her to give
instruction in domestic science had she wished to
do so, but as will be seen later she was not
supportive of domestic science curricula.

Ida Freund enjoyed a varied life in spite of
physical handicaps; her determination to succeed
transcended her disabilities. Little biographical
detail is available. No biography or autobiography
is available. A Cambridge University Scholarship
(URL: Ida Freund Memorial Prize) is named after
her. The two books that she wrote and the regard
in which she was held by colleagues and
students are her memorial. Some information
about her can be found in dictionaries such as
Oglivie and Harvey, (2000) and Oglivie (2004),
though many, such as Cooney (1996), Kass-
Simon and Farnes (1993) and Yount (1997), do
not mention her. Other sources include an article
(Hill and Dronsfield, 2004) and Benfey's
introduction (Benfey, 1968) to the 'Dover' reprint
of her book The study of chemical composition.
She is mentioned in some of the histories of the
Cambridge women's colleges, such as Gardiner
(1914), Welsh (1914) and Grimshaw (1979). The
preface by Hutchinson and Thomas to Freund's
book The experimental basis of chemistry:
suggestions for a series of experiments
illustrative of the fundamental principles of
chemistry is a personal tribute by kind friends.
There are also a number of obituary notices and
various studies of women chemists (Rayner-
Canham, and Rayner-Canham, 1998, pp. 69-71;
Fara, 2005, pp. 156-159) are helpful. Patricia
Gould has provided the author of this study with
information about Freund whilst Gould (1997b)
was researching women physicists of the period.
A brief vignette of Freund’s very interesting life

Ida Freund was born in Vienna, Austria on 5
April 1863, but she was left an orphan when
young and was raised by her maternal
grandmother there (Shorter, 2005, p. 181). She
attended a state school and then trained for
teaching obtaining the Austrian State Diploma for
teachers. After this her grandparents died one
after the other in spite of Freund 'nursing them
tenderly' (Gardiner, 1914, p. 34). So, in 1881, at
the age of eighteen she came to England to keep
house for her uncle Ludwig Strauss, a violinist.
Her uncle had influential friends who
I

recommended that she be sent to Girton. He
agreed as he had long recognised her talents, so
she prepared for the ‘Little-Go’ examinations at a
private institution. Greek, Latin and mathematics
were all new to her. In July 1882 she was
admitted to Girton College, Cambridge (Anon,
1948), but it can hardly be said that this was what
she wanted – in fact she bitterly opposed the
idea of going to college (Welsh, 1914, p. 9).
However she did put her heart and soul into her
work in science. Here she achieved a first
division in both the first and the second part of
the Natural Sciences Tripos in 1885/1886. It was
a remarkable achievement considering that she
was working in a second language and that at
the time it was difficult for women to get
advanced instruction in practical chemistry.
Physics was her second subject for part of the
Natural Sciences Tripos and she did this almost
as brilliantly as her beloved chemistry.

In 1886, she became a lecturer in Cambridge
Training College. In 1887, she was appointed
Demonstrator in chemistry at Newnham College.
However, in 1890, she underwent an operation
which left her lame for life (Welsh, 1914, p. 10)
and she temporarily left Cambridge to support
her uncle in London. There are three slightly
different versions of the cause of her lameness.
An informant with access to the University Library
at Cambridge states that amongst the William
Bateson Correspondence (Cambridge University
Library) in a letter from Bateson to Anna Bateson,
of 16 Jan 1890, Bateson wrote: ‘Poor Miss
Freund has had a leg amputated for disease of
some sort. I believe, Trumpington Street is laid
with straw for her.’ On the other hand, Benfey
(1968) states that ‘she lost a leg in a carriage
accident’. Wilson (1905) says ‘In her youth she
had a cycling accident and lost a leg; she had an
artificial one...’ and this latter version of events is
confirmed by Mary Creese (Creese, 1991, p.
287).
Freund stayed in London until 1893 and when
her health improved, she returned to Cambridge
with her uncle whose health was failing. She
resumed work at Newnham and she looked after
her uncle until 1899, when he passed away.
Her chief interest was her work at Newnham
College, particularly practical chemistry. In 1903
she won the Gamble prize (Anon, 1948, pp. 21-
22) for her essay on The history prior to 1800 of
theories concerning the ultimate constitution of
matter. This is unavailable but it would seem
likely that much of it is contained in her first book,
which was entitled The study of chemical
composition and was published in 1904. It is a
massive piece of work of about 650 pages in
length of which M. M. Pattison Muir says ‘... is to
be classed among the really great works of
chemical literature...’ (quoted Gardiner, 1914, p.
36)
Considerable information is available about her
teaching responsibilities and schedule:
The Cambridge University Reporter shows that
she taught practical chemistry at the lab in
Newnham for two hours, three mornings a week,
from Easter Term 1887 until Lent Term 1898
inclusive. After this date, the timetable for
chemistry seemed to alter considerably. For
example, in Easter Term 1898 she lectured on
Chemical Theory (treated historically) at the
Balfour laboratory for 1 hour, three times a week;
lectured on physical chemistry in a room at
Newnham 8pm on Thursday evenings; practical
chemistry classes as before. (P. A. Gould,
1997b)

RITING
As stated earlier Miss Freund wrote two major
books, namely The study of chemical
composition and The experimental basis of
chemistry and a few articles on chemistry.
Contemporary reviews of these seem uniformly
favourable, for example a review of The study of
chemical composition states:
The author quotes very freely from original
sources, the experiments of the writers being
described and their reasoning given in their own
words wherever possible, and this gives to the
book a peculiar freshness which will be
appreciated by every reader… (Stokes, 1906, p.
282)
Kahlenberg (1905, p. 567), himself an
experienced chemistry textbook writer, provides
a very favourable review of The study of chemical
composition for students and others who need an
accurate summary of existing views of chemical
composition.
This viewpoint is confirmed by the number of
scholars citing Freund’s book The study of
chemical composition. Freund is often cited by
historians of science, such as Thomas Kuhn
(Kuhn, 1952, p. 12, footnote 2: for her evaluation
of atomism in chemistry), Richard Sharvy
(Sharvy, 1983, p. 439, footnote 1: concerning
Aristotle’s ideas on mixtures), Guerlac (Guerlac,
1961, p. 535, footnote 6: for her opinions on
Dalton), Aaron Ihde (Idhe, p. 96, footnote 4: for
her table of data on Richter’s analytical results)
and Benfey’s (Benfey, 1974, p. 353, footnote:
brief biography of Julius Lothar Meyer). There is
no doubt that Freund acts as a greatly
appreciated secondary source for the views of
earlier chemists on the chemical composition of
matter, a source which later historical scholars
have built upon.
The book, The experimental basis of
chemistry, was originally planned by Ida Freund
to have been 20 chapters in length; she
continued writing until a few days before her
death, completing ten chapters. Her friends (Mr
Hutchinson and Ms Beatrice Thomas) edited
these ten chapters, remarking how little editing
was necessary (Hutchinson and Thomas, 1920,
51
p. viii); the book was published in 1920, six years
after her death. Brock (2000, p. 418) regards this
book as influential in reinforcing ‘the significance
of illustrative experiments in teaching the
fundamental laws of chemistry’. Freund in her
writing considered that ‘the use of terms such as
research, discovery and proof in connection with
experimental work’ of students was inappropriate
(Brock, 2000, p. 418).
Apart from her two books it is difficult to trace
Freund’s other publications in full. She did
research on the neutralisation of a number of
salts and published her results in a lengthy article
(58 pages) in Zeitschrift für physikalische chemie
(Freund, 1909). The article was written by Freund
in English as Effect of temperature on the volume
change accompanying neutralization in the case
of a number of salts at different concentrations
(Benfey, 1968, p. xi) and translated into German
by W. Neumann. The paper was also
communicated to an English audience, being
read to the Royal Society (Freund 1908).
Producing quality research in the limited
laboratory conditions available at Newnham
College and combined with her physical
handicap was an amazing achievement.
Richmond (1977, footnote 13) quoting from
Freund and from a student of the period, points
out the inadequacies of the Cambridge women’s
college laboratories in terms of size ‘no one could
tell whether it was the post-office box, a safe, or a
draught- cupboard’ and in terms of heating in the
winter ‘I still quiver with cold as I remember those
raw days in the laboratory…’.
These would have been the conditions in
which Ida Freund produced her research. Berry
and Moelwyn-Hughes (1963, pp. 357-392) tell
the story of the revival in 1901 of the old
Cambridge Chemical Club which included all
those who lectured in chemistry at the university
and at the colleges (1963, p. 357). Ida Freund
would have been a member of the club as she
was in charge of the Newnham College
laboratory (1963, p. 358). Many prominent
chemists including H. E. Armstrong presented
papers to the club, which had an average
attendance of thirty for its meetings. These
meetings would have provided Ida Freund with
an opportunity to hear the latest research and to
present her own research. ‘A valuable paper
entitled “Double Salts” was given by Miss Ida
Freund (Lecturer at Newnham College)’. No
detail of this paper appears available but the
main points are described by Berry and
Moelwyn-Hughes (1963, p. 361) and a number of
these headings can be found in The study of
chemical composition, so some idea of the paper
may be obtained.
Freund also had a piece of laboratory
apparatus (Fowles, 1957, p. 371) named after
her as her invention, though the apparatus is no
longer in common use. The apparatus was a
variation on Ostwald’s gas measuring tube, see
Fowles (1957, p. 324). This does indicate that Ida
Freund was a skilled laboratory chemist and
practical researcher as well as a chemical writer.

Some comments by friends and students give
an indication of the esteem in which Ida Freund
was held:
Miss Freund was a terror to the first-year
student with her sharp rebukes for thoughtless
mistakes. One grew to love her as time went on,
though we laughed at her emphatic and odd use
of English. Yet how brave she was trundling her
crippled and, I am sure often painful body about
in her invalid chair smiling, urging, scolding us
along to 'zat goal to which we are all travelling
which is ze Tripos’. (Ball, 1905, p. 76)
In my day Miss Freund reigned supreme in the
Chemistry Lab. in the garden. She was a great
character. (Wilson, 1905, p. 72)
Everyone who worked with Miss Freund knows
that her high standard and stringent requirements
gave you a new idea of the demands of science;
you were not allowed to think that you
understood, when you did not understand, or to
be satisfied with a result which was not the most
accurate that you could obtain. (Gardiner,
1914, p. 35)
Gardiner (1914, p. 35) also refers to a student
who speaks of Miss Freund's power of
encouraging the timid, showing them what they
could achieve. All these comments indicate the
regard in which Ida Freund was held by her
students.
6. P
EDAGOGY
Ida Freund’s pedagogy is perhaps one of the
most interesting facets of her life, yet it is not
clear that she had any great influence on the
direction that science education was taking at a
time when debate in this area was fierce. As
previously indicated she certainly seems to have
crossed swords with Henry Edward Armstrong on
the issues of heurism in science teaching
describing it as ‘nothing better than make-
believe, fraught with grave intellectual danger
(Freund, quoted Fowles, 1957, p. 513). From a
distance of a hundred years, the differences on
heurism do not seem that great. Freund appears
to have been against discovery learning, which
she considered fraudulent.
Miss Freund had a dread of thoughtless
experimenting and slipshod thinking. She felt
strongly that much that passes for training in
science has little relation to scientific method and
is of small educational value.
(Hutchinson and Beatrice Thomas, 1920, p. vi)
Surely, therefore, the more honest,
intellectually bracing and eventually more fruitful
course is to sweep away all delusions as to what
pupils can discover for themselves... (Freund,
1920, p.8)
52
But as things are, the attitude of many teachers
of elementary chemistry who are considered
most progressive and most truly scientific has
much in common with the Alchemists of an
earlier age... (Freund, 1920, p. 9)
These statements may have been written
specifically to annoy Armstrong and no doubt
would have done so, but by the time the Freund's
book was published he was already a spent force
due to the practical difficulties of implementing
heurism on a large scale. Ironically one doubts
that the sort of critical understanding of chemistry
that Freund desired for teachers and their
students was brought any nearer by the gradual
diminishing of Armstrong's influence. In fact, the
outcome was of a cheaper, learn-by-rote science
that would not have satisfied the ideals of either
Armstrong or Freund.
Ida Freund strongly opposed the replacement
of science in the curricula of girl’s schools by
domestic science:
But powerful opposing forces, including other
women such as Ida Freund, who was herself a
science graduate and a fellow of Girton College,
Cambridge, ridiculed the idea that cooking could
ever attain the status of science in her attacks on
the King's College course during 1911-12. (Bird,
1998)
During her teaching career Ida Freund was
responsible for helping undergraduates pass Part
1 of the Natural Sciences Tripos in chemistry,
where frequently they had not studied chemistry
before, so she is one of the earliest science
teacher educators. In 1897, Ida Freund held a
vacation course for physics teachers at
Newnham College, because several of her
former students who were now teaching
‘complained of the scarcity and inferiority of the
apparatus at their disposal’. They learned ‘how to
construct the simpler kinds of instruments for
themselves.’ (Gardner, 1921, pp. 121-122).
Thereafter she organised regular courses for
science teachers, fulfilling the teacher educator’s
role of assisting the teaching profession,
whenever possible. Ida Freund‘s influence was
limited because she mainly worked at an
individual level, concentrating her energies on a
few students rather than getting involved in
serving on committees and writing articles
publicising her views.
Ida Freund (Freund, 1905) wrote briefly about
her chocolate periodic table, which serves as an
exemplar of her pedagogy. She had made a
periodic table from Edinburgh Rock and
chocolate when ‘the elements were iced cakes
each showing its name and atomic weight in
icing... We divided it up between us’ (Wilson,
1905, p. 72).
Freund modestly describing the same event
said:
Whether it [Freund’s chocolate periodic table]
is of a kind that would lend itself to extended use
as an adjunct to the study of chemistry must be
considered doubtful.(Freund, 1905)
The chocolate periodic table was made with
care and skill, combining a knowledge of
chemistry with ability as a cook and craftsperson;
it was a labour of love and evidently each year
she prepared a different treat for her students.
This example is certainly a precursor to much
current work in making lessons interesting (often
through food), so her pedagogy is excellent. It is
Freund’s excellent example as a teacher with her
own distinctive pedagogy as well as her intellect
and her sincere concern for her students that
makes her a model for teacher educators.
Freund appears to have reservations about the
accuracy of the periodic table from a theoretical
perspective – perhaps not surprising as the table
as then known was constructed on different
principles from those used today (atomic weight
rather than atomic number). However, her
reservations can be seen more clearly in one
chapter of The study of chemical composition
where she points out some of the periodic table's
deficiencies (see Freund, 1904, pp. 504-5,
Wyruboff's criticisms). Nonetheless the criticism
of the periodic table may surprise those present
day educationalists who see the periodic table as
central to the study of school chemistry.
Ida Freund retired due to ill health in 1912 and
died in 1914 (Anon, 1914a: 1914b), but up to the
day before her death was still working on the
manuscript for her book The experimental basis
of chemistry. The Ida Freund Memorial fund was
subscribed by friends after her death and the
proceeds were given to Newnham College to
raise the standard of physical science teaching in
schools by giving teachers opportunities for
further study. This was in accordance with
Freund's life-work.

It is said (Gould, 1997a) that Austria, where
Freund had received her early education had
been supportive of the educational and social
progress of women, whereas English social
conventions of the time gave women’s education
only limited support and virtually no political
influence. She was active on many social issues;
she was a member of the women's suffrage
movements (Hill and Dronsfield, 2004); she
financially supported the Southwark Settlement
for the mentally handicapped and knitted clothing
for the soldiers in the Boer War. She was well-
travelled as, whilst her uncle was alive, they used
to go on trips around Britain and Europe
together. After his death she went on cycling
holidays to Europe (she used a tricycle, powered
by her arms) and went as far afield as Scotland,
Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Italy.
Her views on education for girls, particularly in
science, were strongly and sincerely felt, but her
desire also for scientific accuracy, individual
effort and examination success would not
53
necessarily endear her to women's movements
today. It should be remembered that tempering
her surface hardness, there was a deep
compassion for people.
As a committed feminist, Freund wrote in a
number of different journals and gave evidence
to a Parliamentary committee. Two examples
follow: in 1911, Freund who was seriously
concerned about academic standards in girls’
schools, wrote a lengthy contribution for The
Englishwoman (Freund, 1911) pointing out the
dangers of trying to teach science in an applied,
‘domestic form’ (Dyhouse, 1977, p. 29); Vickery
(1999, p. 155 ) states that when the question of
whether domestic science should replace
science as a discipline in women’s colleges such
as Newnham College was raised, Ida Freund
responded angrily arguing that domestic science
could in no way prepare a student to think and
analyse in the proper scientific method.
8. C
ONCLUSION
There is something particularly remarkable
about Ida Freund’s life and many people find
Freund’s life inspirational. For example Susan
Gasser, Director of the Friedrich Miescher
Institute for Biomedical Research in Basel,
writes:
My other heroes include a set of women
scientists, Ida Freund, Marie Curie, Barbara
McClintock and Dorothy Hodgkin. They pursued
the research that they loved and tolerated
whatever they had to bear to do it, ignoring that
science was not ‘something appropriate’ for
women. I admire their force of character.
(Gasser, 2007)
Her interest in the teaching of chemistry, her
concern for accurate practical work and her
interest in chemical composition naturally lead to
her work on physical and chemical change,
which is a particular interest of the author of this
study (Palmer, 2003).
Although she wrote just two books and some
articles, a contemporary Cambridge chemist
Matthew M. Pattison Muir said that her work ‘is to
be classed among the really great works of
chemical literature’ (quoted by M. I. Gardiner,
1914). Her obituary in Nature (A correspondent,
1914, p. 327) remarked that ‘science has lost a
devoted follower, chemistry an enthusiastic and
original teacher, investigator and writer, and her
friends a wise, warm-hearted and gentle woman’.
It is worth noting that she is one of only fifteen
British women chemists mentioned in The Oxford
Dictionary of National Biography, which contains
biographies of 514 British male chemists
(Kauffman, 2004) amongst the total of 50,000
biographies. This distinction places Ida Freund in
context as achieving great distinction in her
chemistry in an era where it was not easy for a
woman to excel in the sciences and she
accomplished this in spite of severe physical
difficulties. She also found time and energy to be
active politically to ensure women a place in the
science of the future.
