A new exhibit has sprung up outside of Colgate’s Special Collections and University Archives reading room! Ever wonder who exactly was responsible for the travel books written during the early part of the twentieth century? 

Wait, what’s that? You have never wondered that in your entire life!?

Well now is the time to start! These painters and writers lived fascinating lives so full of incident and exploit that finding the time to publish a travelogue was the least of their accomplishments. They were journalists, soldiers, explorers, nurses, professors, poets, painters, founders of national parks, and parents of famous children. One was even an accountant! 

Curious now? Come down to the second floor of Case Library and learn more about this truly interesting group of world travelers!

Teresa (Baby) Jungman

She was the very last of the original ‘Bright Young People’, a clique of restless debutantes and well-born swells with time on their hands, whose high jinks and high spirits diverted themselves – and London - in the1920s.

She was also a heart-breaker and an early ardent but unrequited love of Evelyn Waugh’s. He captured the spirit and eccentricity of Teresa’s scene in his first novel Vile Bodies. Some Wavians have also identified aspects of Julia Flyte.

Teresa and her elder sister Zita were the daughters of Nico Jungman, a Dutch-born artist, and his wife Beatrice Mackey, the member of a respected Birmingham Catholic family.

In 1918 Beatrice married Richard Guinness. So began an energetic, innovative role as a London hostess.

After school Teresa came out, joining her mother’s social world and, with Zita, attracting her own set. Between parties, the sisters and their best friend, Eleanor, daughter of Lord Birkenhead, devised intricate practical jokes. Baby would borrow her mother’s Rolls Royce and mink coat pretending to be a young Russian émigré widow, Madame Anna Vorolsky, with jewels to sell so she could educate her ‘poor leetle boy’. She deceived the novelist Beverley Nichols and the Duke of Marlborough. She attended a garden party as Mme Vorolsky, leading two borzois, and on being introduced to a distinguished soldier and his wife; she told him she would never forget the night they spent together in Paris during the war. The general replied coldly that he had only spent one night in Paris during the war. “Zat”, said Baby, “was zee night.” Madame then disappeared.

The sisters would also take turns pretending to be a reporter, ‘Miss Babington Gooch’, interviewing celebrities at smart hotels and fooling most of them.

The trio also conceived the treasure hunt, an elaborate game which involved tearing about London in search of items that were dangerously hard to obtain, such as the spectacles of the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Between the parties and pranks the sisters would attend Mass and several days a week Teresa joined her friend, Maureen Guinness, in delivering meals to the needy around St Pancras.

Teresa (Baby) Jungman  died on 11 June 2010, aged 102.
